A guy at my work might sell me a brand new K&N CAI and was wondering if it is worth the 100$ he wants for it. I thought it was a decent deal and want to do that and get a tune from bama pretty soon after. Can I just use this CAI or is it best just to get the one that is packaged with the tuner?

100 is a pretty decent price, but i'd go for something other than K&N when it comes to their CAI. I'd save your money and get a tuner/tune/cai package. Or keep an eye on the used parts section for a steal. Tunable Inductions/Demolet, JLT, C&L are the better ones for our cars.

K&N arent bad but your way better off with a tuner CAI combo.
Im going with the C&L X Cal 3 tune/CAI combo. ive heard such great things about this combo im all for it!

If i were you, id save up to get the real deal but if you just want to push a few horses in the meantime, K&Ns arent bad

$100 isn't too bad, but if you're planning on getting a tuner, just go with one of the combos

I have the K&N typhoon intake and i am satisfied with it. I added the K&N intake on and had it on for a while but really didn't notice any startling changes or gains. I think my mpg increased by like 1 and the throttle response improved little bit. I added a bama tune to the car about a week after having the intake in and i noticed a huge difference. So yea, i mean its ultimately up to you, but i would just go for the combo. Good luck, im sure you'll be happy either way!

If you want a decent cai and don't want to spend a lot of money look into VMPtuning.com cai & tuner combo. He has a special every once in a while and I think its $479.00 for both. With this combo and a performance muffler you get 25 HP to the rear wheels. I run this cai/tuner package w/93 tune on my Mustang V6 and it runs hard! Plus it can give great mileage on highway trips. I got 27.6 mpg highway with my mods using VMPs 87 mileage tune. A cai without the tuner doesn't give much HP. Save your money and get the real thing.

I'd say its a good deal since you can pay half that for just a K&N Air filter.

If you dont want it PM me! I'll take it :P

Don't get too excited now haha. It's 25hp for the GT. At least to my knowlage anyway.

There is a reason he is selling it.
Wait for a real CAI and matching tune for the most
bang for the buck or you will be selling it also in
the near future.

Sounds like a good price, go for it.

Nik baby, first you're smart to do your research on the mods you want to make, but here's my recommendations:

C&L cold air intake
SCT tunerwith custom tune (CAI requires this)
Ford Racing 3.73 or 4.10 gears (4.10s may not be available anymore, why, I don't know)
Ford t-lock differential
Shaftmaster's aluminum driveshaft (preferrably 3 inch or 3 1/2 inch diameter)
Lowering springs (1 inch front & 3/4 inch rear max, otherwise it's camber adjustment plates)
18 X 9.5 inch Steeda ultra-light aluminum wheels
275/40-ZR18 tires

This package will sent you back about $3000 plus installation, but what a difference in handling and performance. Good luck, Jack.
