Default question?

How much extra horse power if any will a cold air intake and duel exhaust give a stock 6'er?

CAI - 2-3 rwhp
Exhaust - 4-5 rwhp

So like 8 at most.

cool...thanks... I was told that it didn't add any... so it serves some purpose other than sound. Also in fords any cold air going into the engine it good, scince they are known to over heat and run hot in general.

First time I've ever heard that. If they're overheating, or running hot, then there is something wrong with the thermostat.

I dont think he meant OVERHEATING, more just the engines tend to run hot Jeremy

Well that's true, the engine bay does get warm on my GT, and my old V6 didn't exactly run cool.
