Well, since alot of the guys on here have used the K&N and also there are 2 of us, myself and HExx tested both the CAI and the K&N, and found the K&N to be better performing then the other. I would just stick with something that is proven.

Well, I dont know about that. When I have called him before, ( when I owned the CAI ) he was really great and wanted to take care of me in any way he could. He has a normal job and makes the CAI's on the side. I will try and talk to him this week and get back to you.
I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he's failed to respond to a few of my emails. It's not a big deal though. You don't have to talk to him for me. I was just trying to help him make a better product. It makes no difference to me at this point.

I'd like to know if he's gonna make an intake tube to go with his CAI box... that would be killer....

yeah, forgot about that link...
can't make stickies (yet)... haven't gotten any info as to what's goin on with the Mod position...
last I heard was that post that Richie made, about if it all goes quick - I'd be a mod by the end of the day... and that was it, last I heard about anything...

Does adding an intake require recalibrating the mass air flow sensor? 05 and up Fords
don't see any real power gains from intakes unless the MAFS gets reworked. I guess their real sensitive!
I don't think that our box is all that restrictive. The only problem that I see is the small *** tube that is used to suck in the air attached to the box. Many people have taken it out, but I think it helps to speed up the incoming air and properly direct it. I would like to cut the front of the box out and see what happens and change the filter. I'm just waiting for a high flow oil less air filter to come out for our cars.
What if we were to use ceramic coated pipe for the intake tubes and the stock box
with a high flow filter? Also, I was thinking about running a pipe through the side of the box that comes from the fender and goes down to the front bumper. The pipe would have to be angled inside of the box of course. I'm even thinking about fiberglassing the
inside of the box to cover up the ECU and to add some direction baffles. These cars were supper engineered from the factory so I like to question every mod. Always think Super stock. Those cars hauled *** with stock parts back in the day!

As far as Intakes go, most all people will tell you that a well made FWI will perform just as well or better (colder air) as a CAI for a lot less money. People have dynoed over the years and different companies will tell you that a FWI does work and can be made for cheap. Now does a CAI like the K&N look better, YES without a doubt but that's all up to personal taste. The key to FWIs is to make the piping as short and straight as possible (resulting in less restriction) while keeping the filter of the intake out of the engine bay (resulting in colder air temps).
