Default Best CAI

I'm planning on getting a CAI pretty soon here and was wondering what you guys think is the best one? I was leaning towards the Steeda High-flow CAI but anyone else have any other suggestions?

They're all basically the same, besides some are short ram and some are CAI's. Just make sure you get a K&N filter for whatever you choose

Just because of all the great thing I've heard about K&N's. I might just keep the Steeda and instead of cleaning it when it needs done, I'll buy the K&N then.

What year is your Mustang? If it's avaliable for your year I would just go with a K&N FIPK CAI.

I got a '99. I think the FIPK does fit on it so I might go that way if it's better than a CAI.

K&N all the way. There may be cheaper CAI out there but you can't beat them for flow. The rest are all copies of the K&N to start with anyway.

save yourself money and just remove your airsilencer and drop in a k&N filter, you will get the same affect, more noise and yet still slow . just save your money for bigger and better modifications

The FIPK really won't make more of a difference than droping in a K&N filter?
