Default Cold air kits?

I tried googling and im just tired. my 90 mustang is pretty much stock. im looking for a cold air intake but it appears that at this point only bbk and moroso make kits for our cars? what gives? im not into making my own,i dont know what ill be planning in the future with this car,right now what is on my car is the factory rippled pipe that goes from throttle body to maf and then after maf is just a cone type filter sucking up underhood air.this thing has been on the car since i bought the car 3 years ago.time for something better.anderson power pipes seem to be pretty specific and dont even include the after maf portion and i dont wanna spend 500 bucks.

I got the anderson power pipe on mine and imo it works great bertter than stock better than the bbk hot air intake. The anderson doesn't heat soak and if you want a bigger maf just go buy one.

I used the C&L induction but to get the whole effect you need to wrap it with heat wrap since metal will transfer heat into the incoming air moreso than the rubber and hard plastic kits, unless you are doing much more than the induction for now you may just want to concentrate on the exaust for now!

I have the Crevinis ram air system and that seems to not only add power but I have also pulled over 28mpg on poker runs. And we all know poker runs and mpgs don't usually get used in the same sentence.

It has been proven to benefit from a ram air induction that to make 1% over atmosheric pressure that you have to maintain a constant of 170+mph to achieve any boosted affect.

Yes sure you will get colder air and water on a rainy day lol into the induction system!
