I will play devil's advocate here...I think, for a grand, it is a smokin' deal.

You will get dramatically improved performance and have zero warranty issues to worry about. If the warranty is a concern, it is a smart move. If not, then one of the aftermarkets is the way to go.

I, too, wish Ford sold the CAI by itself as I already have the FRPP. I would like to run an OEM CAI, but no such luck.

 

BTW, to the OP, your car looks great!

 

Can you extrapolate on how Uncle Sam is going to purchase you a
ford racing performance package for the v6? I would like to get in
on that action. Please clue us in.

 

Oh nuthing bad. I'm going to use my income tax to get it. Thanks illin I guess you can say I'm addicted way too many things I see I like.
