Default Very inexpensive CAI

Someone in another post said they were getting gears from this site and I hadn't been there so I was checking it out and found this. A CAI for 5.0's for $70! Here's the link: http://www.mustangtuning.com/50liairinkit.html

just my 2 cent..why would you what a thin thin chrome to rust on your car as it holds heat....you can get a used moroso for 30 or so..even can do to home depot auto parts as I call them and make it yourself

I just know a lot of people get that kind but spend a lot more on it. Thought someone might be interested.

Like vfast said, chrome holds heat. Use something else, build one for pennies on the dollar.

Go to the local Home Depot, and buy some PVC pipe. Pop and KNN air filter on. Paint the pvc and put some rubber things (forget the technical name) on the ends, drill a hole for the sensor, and there ya go, one of the best CAI's you can get. www.cardomain.com/id/adr840334 for pics of mine. (i think i have some on there)

I really don't care, I'm not planning on getting one myself I just thought I'd put it up in case someone else wanted them. A lot of poeple do it for looks and this one was like half the price of the others I've seen. As for me I'm fine with the stock intake with a K&N replacement. Everything past the filter is gone so there's really not much of a difference.

DON'T use PVC, use ABS (or exhaust pipe). PVC releases chlorine gas when heated.......if any of you remember anything from high school chemistry, it's damned toxic.
