So I'm thinking of getting a CAI for my fox. Do I absolutely need to tune it or not? I had to on my '05. C&L CAI w/SCT XCal2. So again, do I or don't I need to tune with the Fox? Hmmmmmmmm

no need for a tune on a 5.0 fox...newer stuff yes..but not on a 5.0

There's also no need for a CAI on a 5.0, just throw in a K&N filter.

Nah, going for the look...need an intake...thanks. Just wasn't sure bout the tune...anyone got some pics? Fenderwell or straight?

fenderwell is better since it doesnt suck in the hot air from the engine compartment

also the ebay kits are decent from what I hear, just make sure to get a K&N filter even if it comes with a filter

I like the straight look but I got ya on the heat....thanks... I was looking at a black one on ebay. I wanted red but not sure if it will match the msd red. hmmmmmm

A cai through the fenderwell to suck fresh air will outperform a stock air box equiped with a k&n anyday......Cai has mandral bends and larger diameter piping for a smoother free flow

thanks

I'll admit it will flow better in a fox, might even get an extra 2 hp. I was thinking about on an SN95, which already has a fenderwell system, because thats what I own, where the CAI would net you next to nothing.

i had a stock set up with k&n boxed filter and ordered an ebay fenderwell pipe kit and just put a nice filter on and noticed the difference right away with power and the nice little noise it gives off ha
