yep, if 3 bucks would add, 20 hp, then the mustangs would have 280 hp stock. It says that it tricks ur computer into thinking its getting more cold air, when really ITS NOT.... this will obviously cause the car to run richer than usual, resulting in fouled plugs and a sluggish feel.

read the feedback, "NOT MUCH IF ANY INCREASE OF POWER, BUT IT WAS SHPPED ON TIME, THANK U"

"The part got to me quickly but was packaged poorly and did not perform as stated"

also you must realize, many people are probobly afraid to leave neg feedback becasue they will think he will leave negative back to them.

I just ordered a K&N intake from the auto store. Its expensive but it's a brand I feel I can trust and you can't put a price on that. I don't know how it will perform though.

Dont get that cold air intake either, You get what you pay for so if you want to good intake get a K&N or a Tunable Induction intake.

Stop buying no-name crap off of ebay! You're setting yourself up for disaater. If you wanna buy performance parts, find parts with published testing and good ratiings from trusted ppl. Ebay sellers are looking for people like you who aren't sure what they ar ebuying. Be careful!
