Default K&N or Steeda intake?

Which would be better to put on my 1997 Ford Mustang GT? I don't know which one will give me better power. And I like that cool sound that it makes to suck air haha

If you absolutely have to have an intake, go with a JLT one.

Between the two though, K&N, they come with carb #'s

If you want that sound just by a K&N fliter and keep your stock intake. Remove the silencer to increase that sound. The factory intake is a good one and if I had to do it over again I wouldnt have wasted the money on a intake and just gotten the filter.

But if your gonna get one I recommend C&L. I've talked to one of the guys that works there and his explanation makes sense to me on why it's better. The closer the MAF is to the filter the better reading the MAF gets since there is less space for it to receive the air giving you a better reading and increasing throttle response and power. The way the C&L is set up the MAF is literally right beside the filter. Very, very high quality product.
