Cold air intake Difference?

RE: Cold air intake Difference?
I got mine at Fun Ford Weekend in Atlanta from a UPR vendor for $50.00. Came with all clamps, fittings and big mouth filter. Fits through fender well. Everything was perfect.

Ok so I would have kept the stock intake with k and n but the car never had one. So i bought one on ebay. it was 90 dollars total. and came with a k & N filter. Hope it works good

I have a BBK fenderwell style CAI. If your gonna buy one. Buy a BBK. you can go with MAC but they have a custom bracket for the Mass air meter. I haven't heard about fitment with them though. The ones on ebay are just cheap junk. People trying to make copy a design and make money by selling them cheap. they dont care about the performance or fitment or looks. They just want the money. BBK actually puts effort into making them fit nice and perform well. I personally will never buy anything offbrand or cheap. We have a family business in truck customizing. And we sell Luverne Nerf bars. Very nice quality and fitment. We sold a cheap offbrand to a guy cause he wanted something very cheap. it was somehting like 100 bucks cheaper and we installed them. They were junk. Everything cheap is junk. Dont expect anything nice for little or no money.

i bought a cai off ebay. i didnt have any problems with fitment but obviously if its a large company like bbk of mac will make high quality products. if you want to spend 150 then do it but im on a budget and im happy with the 100 bucks i saved on ebay. the quality is not like a big company but i am happy with mine. its really up to you whether you wanna pay money for the high quality stuff but for me i had no problems

id like to share my personal experience with CAI. In my hot rod class at school we put a drop in filter in a stock 95 gt and got 6 like six horsepower at the wheel. While (believe it or not i have dyno sheets to prove it) we got 20 whp with the bbk cold air kit on a stock mustang. They are so expensive because they have to get the licenses to get a CARB number so they are emissions legal. I say they are worth the money.

There is no increase in volume of air from the stock box and hi po filter to the "cai" kits, not to mention they draw air from exactly the same location and in that draw air at the same temps. The restrictions begin at the stock MAF followed by the stock TB then on, the air box is not a restriction.
As for your dyno...sorry but this testing has been done to death air inlet volume is not an issue with our stock piping.
