Filter Housing Mod.
 

Alright i found this on 3.8mustang.com but its a universal mod that GTs can do also. Its for the guys that dont want to spend a lot of money or dont have that much to spend. Free easy mod if you have a Dremel.

And it doesnt take 3 hours to do if you know what you're doing. Probably took me 30 min.

the question is why? style points? Cmon... save up fifty or a hundred bucks and buy someone's second hand CAI.

Just something fun and easy to do. I recently took my CAI out replaced it with stock w/o the air silencer, and a K&N. MY CAI was making my engine run bad and slow. Plus i would only get 16 mpg it the city on a V6 with no "Heavy" driving. So im just going to see if my mpg improves. And the car runs better after I took the CAI out.

I think thats a lot better idea then a stupid CAI. Thats what I did, not exactly the same, but same idea.

CAI's are crap anyways...I think you should go for it..:)

I kinda used the same concept with my GT. But instead of cutting out my filter housing, I used the housing left over from my mach. The K&N filter was in my mach also and I bought a recharge kit for it, gonna be cleaning it tonight.

HHHmmmmmmmm different

Another thing...Does anyone know an easy way to replace tubing from the Air box up to the intake?? I dont wont a metal tube because it heats up to easy thats wat happend on my old CAI. I just something with the same concept as stock minus the ridges it has in the middle.

PVC, thats what CAI's are made out of.

use black PVC. If you're skilled enough you can even make a bend in a long straight piece so you don't have to use wonky couplers. A heat gun works well in that effort.

Damn, I got the Steeda CAI...its aluminum I think...am I hurting my car? I get 14mpg in the city and 21 or so on the highway. I could feel the difference when I put it in with a 75mm TB and Plenum...but then again I have had my car dyno tuned since all that so I probably shouldnt remove it.

not at all. it doesn't really matter plastic or metal.
