LISTEN WAIT!!!!!
get a good intake, Steeda 90mm or C&L or JLT personally i wouldnt want anything other then the steeda but either way the one your looking at is too small. get the ones that REQUIRE a tune. that way they dont jus flow more air then stock they flow too much air (thats why they need a tune)
The factory tune can adapt to a little more air making like 5-10 extra hp max but get 30 with a good intake and tune. vrs maybe 20 with a cheaper intake and tune.
Remember its always cheaper and easier to do it right the first time.
good luck and everyone here is waiting for you to make the right choice. WAIT

Haha, ok, I think you all have convinced me to wait. I always did want the Steeda kit anyways. So, I think I'll be saving for that one. Thanks for all the input!

trust me stealth you'll never look back once you get the steeda. if you need any advice on the steeda just ask but trust me get the steeda and sct but dont get the american muscle tunes. if you get em for free thats nice but go bama or brenspeed I got the american muscle tunes and i was amazed at the difference when i upgraded tunes

No matter if you get a Steeda, C&L, BBK or JLT, buy it with a tuner from Brenspeed or Bamachips. That way you get the tuner and three of their tunes for free. The tunes are $50-$75 value.

... besides the fact that Bama and Brenspeed tunes are hard to beat.

stealth;
save your money and wait untill you can afford the combo and buy from either bama or brenspeed, do you research the tunes on this forum to find what would suit your personal needs best. Like i said before do it right the first time and buy the tuner combo from the company that will give you the best tunes for free included in the deal

SEARCH TIP

Add the * character to the end of the 3-character term that you really want it to find. The * replaces any character in the search, including a blank space. So instead of CAI, it's CAI*.

Learned this little trick on another Mustang forum, actually.


BTW and more on-topic, I'm happy enough with the FRPP CAI & tune even though I'm probably giving a few HP away.
