Default Which is better Cold Air?

I am going to be putting a cold air intake in my 88gt. What brand should i put in and also which does everyone prefer just the regular cold air intake or the fender mount? Any help would be great. [8D]

Mac, bbk, moroso, Ebay cai, they are all the same, I got a cheap ebay on the other stang and its just as good as my bbk on my new stang...My ebay cai was 30+shipping and the bbk was 180bucks...it depends on who you send your money. they all will do the same job.

^^ He is right about how they all do the same job but some are different quality. With CAI's on Ebay its a hit or miss kind of thing. I've heard of people having to to through the hassle of modding them to work and I've heard of people getting them and they are perfect. IMO, you get what you pay for and I would just buy a BBK. And if you dont want to buy one new and spend 150 bucks than buy one used. I seen BBK's go for 70-90 dollars all the time on Ebay.

http://www.kennebell.net/accessories...-93mustang.htm

takes air from under bumper instead wheel well.

well the ram airs really dont work, they only start to actually help at 80+mph, other than that its really the same as a fenderwall cai.
