I looked and tried to play it but it went to my Music Match Box player like it was going to play but didnt....I want to hear it, any other way I can hear it?

Im not 100% sure about this but I dont think that the CAI can get wet because the filter (the part u need to worry about getting wet) is between two walls and the the bottom being covered up by the wheel wells. So I dont think it can get wet unless your like driving in a foot or higher water...lol

 

i have the same exact one, works wonders, and u can get one for a good price, K&N is good for mustangs

 

As far as the cai goes they are all about the same, and despite what the ads say, they will only give you around 5-10 hp. Now I have a fenderwall mounted unit and I have no problem with water. Also to fully maximize airflow into the engine get a high flow throttle body and a 73 or 80mm MAF. These two upgrades won't do much, but you will feel a difference. All and all you will get around a 8-15 hp gain by redoing your air intake, remember some of this will be lost when being transfered to the rear wheels which is why 3.73 or 4.10 gears with a t-lok differential are so important. Other than that yellow nailed all of the basic bolt on upgrades on the head.

I have Music Match too. Upgrade yours. There ia a version 10 now. It plays on mine. Either that or use Windows Media Player

 

Don't get a CAI fenderwell kit....if you get one it's a waste. The pipes bend at a 90 degree angle restricting air flow, so you're better off with the stock setup. Get something straighter, the K&N FIPK seems to work best, although it's expensive.

An fenderwell kit is more for looks, it's pointless to buy it for performance.

 

Well dude, I don't kow where you heard this from, but I have had no problems with my kit, and I noticed a decent increase in power when that was the only mod on my car. Also the fenderwell kits don't bend at 90 degrees, more like arount 70 from the engine and around 75-80 to the fenderwell. I hate to sound like a jerk, but your information is a little off. First of all the engine is going to suck enormous amounts air into the intake manifold reguardless of where the end is located, secondly, the pipe only has two bends with a nice long straight section all sealed off very well so air restrction is not a problem, thirdly by removing the the stock air box, paper filter, and MAF wire filter you are freeing up air flow which is the whole point of a cai and by adding in the fenderwell kit you are allowing the engine to suck air in from the area that supplies the coolest air staight shots do a good job, but whats better cooler air from the fenderwell or hotter air under the hood. Now think about a straw with one bend and one with two, the amont of air you inhale will be almost exactly the same between the two . Now imagine you are drinking a coke with the straw with one bend and the one with two, it will take a hair longer for the one with two to supply the coke, but in the end it still reaches the same place at the same rate once you start to suck, so a fenderwall kit will slightly and I do mean almost unmeasurablely slightly will restrict air flow, but the difference is so minute that it is crazy to state that one system is way better than another because in the end they both do the same job at the same rate, only difference is since one is shorter than the other air is supplied a hair bit quicker to the shorter straight shot unit than the fenderwell unit, but once air is deliverd intake continues at the same rate until you let off the gas. So I will say it again, no matter what system you go with, straight shot, fenderwell kit, or the old fashion straight pipe under the hood style, you will only get a 5-10 hp boost, no more, and maybe less with an older system.

 

ok but whats the diffrence between a short ram and a CAI? is one better then the other

 

To say one is better than the other is an overstatement, but if you are asking which one gives the better gains then that would be the short ram, by a hair, only because it is shorter in length. It will allow your engine to suck in air at a slightly faster rate, than a cai, but your hp gains will still be between 5-10. So all and all you will get about the same performance wise, just one allows your engine to recieve air a little quicker than the other, but like I said in my example, once air is delivered it is delivered at the same rate until you let off the gas. Oh, remember that with the ram kit your airfilter must be fully shielded from the heat under the hood, if you get a kit that does not shield the air filter very well you will improve performance, but not as much.

 

We can get you a MAC Cold Air Intake if you need one

 

so it makes sense to get a short ram then? why does eveyrbody seem to get a regular CAI instead? and where can i find some prices on short rams?
