well i have used mac stuff for a long time and thought there were always good, but this new set up they have who every designed it has to be on crack ........................., use to beone clamp 5 seconds its off, now you have to pull the inner fender plate with 4 screws and still that one clamp..................... this is good thinking on there behalf

The anderson ford power pipe is pricey but I love it, It puts your MAF in the fender well, and other than lengthening the wires its pretty easy install

Basically all CAI's work the same, they all bring more cool air into the engine. I went with BBK just because i haven't heard of anyone complaining about them. About the exaust, i really don't know who makes the best power, i went with the lm2's mainly because they sound really good, and there is really no restriction on air flow.

the best one is made by...ford. as in the factory one. slap in a k&N filter, remove the air silencer, and if you want to go crazy cut the fenderwell to match the intake box

save yourself a hundred buck and buy some gas instead..
