The whistle is normal for most, but my intake is more of a deep sucking sound than it is a whistle, but mine is in the fenderwell and not in the engine compartment...

dont really think a CAI is going to be loud like you want.....

Just got one off of ebay, it's similar to the one that Mustang Tuning sells (the out of stock, 73$ one), which has the filter sit inside the fender well, doesn't get as much air as the one in the engine compartment does, but it's alot cooler than the air in the engine compartment..it was 25$, heh. But uh, an exhaust should help you with your sound issue...you can get a direct Y pipe attachment dual exhaust made by MAC for about 320$, which should get you a decent sound, but if you wanted to get a true dual you can buy an H pipe and a GT catback, a lot of possibilities.

another question,


I had seeing at autozen and places like that, they have like little filter, a autozone guy told that is a breather filter, do you guys know what are those for?

Is it a circular, thin filter? I saw something like that in a diff car's engine..looks like it attached behind the MAF.

[josejcl]

is a little round filter, you can see it on this url:

Is like a normal filter, but little! and is called the breather filter

that goes in your valve cover...I dont think you need this...you already have a PCV system.

get a k&n, that is what i bought and i love it

Heres my CAI is this what you want.

[Mustang2002]

Same, get a K&N, you cant go wrong. And why do you want your CAI loud? That sounds ricey to me. If anything get your exhaust loud.

That thing is that my friend used to have a 1999 malibu i loved the intake sound, he doen't even need an exhast!! so i was trying to do the same thingl, a don't want it like very loud, something just a nices sound!

[Icewalker]

Ok Quick Question, So you can get a True dual exhaust on a v6, its an H Pipe? And how much do one of those run for?

[spike_africa]

they sell them at www.mustangtuning.com

go look in the exhaust section.

MY CAI is the complete intake pipe with a big cone filter. It helps that I have 340hp so it sucks real hard. I see nothing wrong with just getting a noisy CAI not everyone wants to have a loud exhaust which cannot be shut off. At least with a CAI as long as you dont go WOT it will not be heard, nothing rice about that just an alternative to an exhaust.

qft...when I go WOT with the windows down....my car almost sounds powerful! It's great,

If you want a loud exhaust go with the kit to convert to GT exhaust outlets (http://www.mustangtuning.com/v6duexadkit1.html) then buy yourself some SLP Pro-flo Loudmouths. I'm guessing if you've got a nice CAI and a little more power than the average sixer, you'll have a pretty nice sounding ride.

K&n Ftw!

Thanks guys for your answers!!!

I have another question, i installed the intake, but when i start the engine i feel it weak, it does not start like before, you know a normal start, now is a weak start!!!


You you guys know any reason for this??

Thanks

check all your connections...hoses, clamps etc.

If you had your key on listening to the radio or something while you were installing it, your battery could be weak.
