Really Worth It?

[StangSims39]

Hey all, now this will def sound like a N00B question. I have just heard different things and wanna clear the air. On a pretty much Stock N/A PI 4.6L How much of a difference is it to get a CAI compared to just a K&N replacement. Now on my old Tbird, the intake tube was horrible, very restrictive, and since they did not make CAIs for 95 4.6Ls i made my own, and def felt a difference. But these cars have a diff design, and it does not look to be to restrictive, so as the title says...Is it worth it? :yesno:

A Cold air intake and a tune are worth it. The K&N air filter alone is better than stock,but will not be felt in the Butt dyno

Go with the CAI and a tune. That is worth it.

well i am planning on getting a few mods in the next few months, SCT tuner w/ Bama tune, headers, and maybe a bbk throttle body/plenum combo, but since AM have one for 80 bucks i was thinking of getting that next if it was worth it. So since i am planning on going with an SCT tuner i guess i should go with the CAI, Thanks wicked!

A cheap CIA is huge bang for the buck and almost a neccesity when you get the tuner. They may not look restrctive but all the little bumps in the intake tube cause theair flow to become les smooth going into the motor. If possible get an inner fender CAI since it'll feed colder air in ( you'll need small hands to get the filter on)

True, Yeah the one from AM looks just like the BBK but like a hundred dollars cheaper, and the filter gets fed in the fender, i think that will be my next gift to my car! thanks guys!
