I ran across this pic and have never seen an intake like it. Looks like a great design to me: lots of surface area on filter, shielding, ram effect, keeps air from fan on engine... Please tell me where to get one!

I have no idea what that is. Maybe he has a ram air hood, i can't tell. It reminds me of the SLP intakes on camaros and trans ams.

 

looks mighty functional, never seen it before.

 

that would be a western motorsport intake system.

very popular CAI mod. does not work with most ram air hoods.

 

says "no programming required" I find that hard to believe, thats an S197.

 

the no programming thing can be done, but you wont notice a tremendous gain. i didnt notice a big gain until after i got the diablo tuner and retuned mine. if i were to do it over again i would have bought the tuner first, much better bang for your buck

 

Suli, you da man. I'm gonna get one! BTW... I'm a homie, I'm from Decatur, small world! I live in Denver now. Thanks alot for the info, I can't believe how fast I got so many replies, thanks guys!

 

Decatur Georgia?

what's a homie?

 

it's a central illinois thing you probably wouldn't understand... trust me you dont wouldnt want to understand.

 

Sup dog!!!! well everything is still the same in springpatch... crooked politicians, nothing to do, ya know same ole stuff.

i am headed to decatur tomorrow, well actually Mt Zion. cant stand the smell of decatur for too long .

so how long you been in Denver?

 

wel.... there goes the neighborhood.... lol..

 

If they don't even have the ***** to admit that you need to update the tune on s197's with CAI's then NEVER do business with them. there's no excuse for not setting the tune with the new cars... it's the difference between making 25hp from the CAI or making 5.

 

Yeah, I remember the same old...lol. And "stinky staley's" too!

Hey man, you gotta get a Kreckelburger when you're in Mt.Zion, I don't miss Illinois much but I sure miss those! What're you goin' there for?

Been in Denver since '90.

 

going to see family my brother in law and his wife just had a baby. she works at Staley's err sorry now it is Tate and Lyle. have you been back at all since '90?

 

Oh, I see, that's nice. Don't have any of those if you wanna keep spending money on your 'stang....lol.

Yeah, we've got family there and southern Ill so we're back occasionally. If we didn't I think I might have gotten desperate enough to make a Kreckel's/Monicals run at some point! We were there (decatur) this New Years in fact.

 

BTW, my brother in law is a big shot at Tate and Staleys. Mike Augustine, does your sis know him?

 

ayup.....

 

no, please do explain....we need some entertainment around here.

 

Doesn't that design somewhat limit the amount of air intake though? I mean the entire bottom of the filter is resting right on top of the black tray. So air's really only coming in from the top of the filter and the two curved sides. Why would you want to purposefuly block part of your air intake like that?

 

Hey Truck. I'm not sure about the clearence/restriction on the underside. Maybe that's why the filter has so much surface area, to compensate. If you go to western motorsports via the link in the earlier post they provide links to two independent test by a couple of Mustang mags that rate this product very highly against several other brands of CAI's.

I'll have to check that out. At least to satisfy my curiosity about it.
