CAI Check
I actually just bought my car about 2 weeks ago (2002 GT) I've been looking alot on line to try and figure out which CAI would give me the most gain for the money. If anyone has any info I'd really appreciate it...thanks

Honestly, Id save your money and skip a cold-air. It reall is more of a show part that performance. Your best bet is to go with a K&N Replacement filter. Its about $45 and will give you a good 5-6 hp. With no other changes, I dropped .10 and gained 1 MPH with that filter. Put your money to gears, pullies or exhaust.

Thanks for the info...I think I'll prabably get an exhaust before anything else...I got some little cosmetic stuff like the 13 inch billet anntena, stainless bumper inserts and some other small stuff from MT. I'm still debating between Magnaflow and Flowmaster...I've actually never had a V8 before so I'm not too sure if my GT has a stock exhaust or not...it sounds pretty good for now.
Just glad I finally got something worth fixin up.

I bought a 1997 gt that had some cheap Cold air induction. If i had the factory box id put it back. Mines a no name. Looks like the cheapo $60 one's on ebay. I gotta break out tools just to take it apart to get @ the air filter which is probably junk.
If anyone has a factory ait Box for a 1997 GT, drop me a PM and a price.
I wouldnt mind it, since i guess it looked good new. But this cheap one is starting to Pit, and oxidize and some rust, Which im sure it does on the inside too, which cant be good. Guess that's why factory is plastic, No rust!!!
I guess that's why all the good one's Steeda and other's are made of Stainless. Save your money!!!And just get a filter like others have said.

NO, you don't want a bend in front of the maf sensor, it causes erratic O2 redings by the maf, also it can cause idle problems as well.

I have the Tunable Induction Full length CAI and everything seems okay, cant say I gained much if anything from it but when I bought my Accufab TB and Plenum I wanted to have something else than the stock rubber piece. BTW I have a bend before the MAF, had my car on the dyno and my A/F was right on. My recommendation is do NOT take the MAF screen off if you have a bend.

If you go to www.demolet.com then click on specifications at the top of the page it's system #5
Also if you look at it you could remove the piece that goes in the fender well, do you think that would be better than the full system...maybe i'll try both ways.

Do not buy the plenum and tb until you HAVE GEARS!!! Take that 300 bucks, and buy everything you need to get the gears put in. Speedcal, gearset, and new bearings fluids,etc. can all be had for less than 300 bucks. Then find someone who installs them for about 150 to 200 bucks and you will thank me and be glad you didnt spend the money on the plenum tb combo. Its great sure, it improves throttle response sure, but will it put you back in the seat like the gears will? NO! Now start buying gear parts lol. Trust me on this, and get some 4.10s unless a blower is coming in like a month, cause youll want more from the 3.73s...
