Default Which Intake Should I buy???

I'm undecided of what intake I should get for my 2002 Mustang GT. . . i was thinking of getting the K&N Mustang FIPK Air Intake Kit or BBK Cold Air Intake. Which of this two intake do you recommend me to get?

Neither. Go to autozone, get the K&N filter setup for around $20, take off your silencer and call it good. Same diff, just cheaper.

On mildly modded cars a cold air intake isn't worth hardly anything and a simple high flow replacement filter like K&N or the like and pulling the rubber intake silencer off the stock air box provide the same effect.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I would buy the JLT CAI from American Muscle, the BBK CAI is a heat magnet or Hot Air Intake

If you plan on doing future mods and have money to spend I would go ahead and get the JLT CAI, but if you just want to do bolt ons and nothing else, just remove the silencer.

Totally agree with spike_africa. If you don't ever intend to do anything but like swapping mufflers or other small stuff. The gain seen is totally not worth and it is rather expensive considering you can get a k-n drop in and remove the silencer for a fraction of that.

I also agree with this statement. If you are going to do a h/c/i or just a h/i with longtubes and or highflow cats. Then you might as well get the better setup now.

As for the different ones. The only two that I have ever seen that have been worth there price has been the units by Mac or the JLT. JLT has probably the best proven gains around and the numerous people I know that have used them have been nothing but pleased with them and they do gain what they advertise. The only reason I bought the cheap one for mine is because somewhere down the line in the next few years my car is going to have a power adder put on so I couldn't justify putting down close to $200 for something that in a 1-2 year period would be unusable to me.

my cone was like 55 so yea, but its LIFETIME warranty if it breaks.. u just go back to autzone and they will swap it out.. u have a 95 so i dunno if u have the same thing as i do, the silencer is a peice of rubber the go around the Filter Box opening and makes a little tunner to your fender well.
