Default COLD AIR INTAKE (Whats Best?)

So i want to buy a cold air intake but i dont know what brand to go with. Ive found bbk, summit, JLT, and K&N and im not sure what brand makes the best cold air for my 95 5.0. Also ive heard that CAI changes the exhaust a bit????
Thanks

bbk probly. I just bought a cheap ebay one since they all look the same to me, then threw a k&n on the end cause the ebay filters are worse than stock.

No CAI will outperform the stock setup by much, so dont expect much. With that being said, I would go with the BBK

there's not much differencebetween any of them, after all its just a pipe and they're all pretty much shaped the same. the important thing is having a good air filter

Which ever is cheapest is the best. I've had 2 eBay one's so far, can't beat them for $40.

please send me the link to where i can get a full cold air for $40.00.I would rather just get a cheap tubing kit and buy a good k&n.

I wish there was dyno testing on all of them, but I've been considering the JLT, its a little expensive but it looks pretty badass ;-)
