Just wondering if anyone has made their own cold air intake for their sixer.


That is all

i did... i used a high flow filter from advance auto parts and used the stock MAF and rubber pipe... i used an old soup can to connect the tube and the filter... looks good and only cost 25 bucks

I'd like to see pictures of your cai. If it looks cool you could go into the cai business. Does youy cai require a tune? Actually I'd like to see pictures of your car with the Saleen hood.

i would just buy the VMP intake for $99. or if you have a specific filter in mind other than the one that comes with the VMP version, i would just ask justin if he could sell only the MAF housing.

yeah sancho85 is right. You gain nothing if your MAF is no larger than factory. That is why a CAI cost what they do, it comes with a larger MAF. You can jerry rig as bigger pipe as you want but will still be restricted to the factory MAF, and when you install a CAI with a larger than factory MAF, that is when a tune is required.

thanks for the info guys

right on, except that not all intake kits come with a larger than stock MAF housing (actually most don't) so that they won't require a tune. the ones i know of that DO reuire a tune would be the C&L, MMR, JLT, STEEDA and also the VMP i mentioned earlier since the MAF housing that VMP uses is 3"inner diameter. my AEM uses stock diameter housing also but i plan on getting a C&L hopefully in the near future. i really like the look of a metal pipe under my hood.

So a tuner/cai combo would give me maybe 15rwhp? This is my daily driver (gto for fun) but I just cant stand the lag of the auto in the stang.

Its said around 25 but I would think thats an optomistic rating. A tuner will get rid of the lag too.

I'm trying to picture a soup can under your hood....
