you use the mass air flow sensor from your stock intake and yes if you buy a CAI kit everything you need is included

buy the K & N

stangcharger · 03-24-2008, 10:43 AM

just get one off ebay for like $50. go to 3.8mustang.com and do a search for ebay CAI.

Well i don't see why you should. I don't see too many people around here going back through pages from months ago to answer questions with "Get this kind"

would it just be the brand of it making it priced like that?

yes its jsut the brand.

A cold air intake does not give you any significant changes in power to our little 3.8s.. not matter how much money you spend on it

yeah, I did this and cut it to make it a ram air. K & N is a ton of money for the same thing as a cheap one. Waste of money

For the most part, I find that your just paying for the name. Ebay is ok but I've heard that some of them are kinda cheap. Just buy one from AM they are like 70 bucks and reliable.

P.S. The ones from AM come with EVERYTHING!! Check out the install i wrote for them:

Try monitoring your IAT's with it in the engine bay, and with it in the fender well.

Buy the K&N. It's easy to install and it upped my mpg from 12 to 15. I also noticed increased power and sound.
