Good choice!! You can't go wrong with it!! My opinion, it's the best combination out there when you combine the intake with the scoop! Made a huge difference on my car!

I like my K&N air charger and slp longtube headers with slp loudmouth 1 axle back exhaust. Some people dont like these at all, but its what I wanted. Most people tell you its a matter of what you want. This is what I wanted and got it. So do some research and get what you want. No need to argue. All CAI's are better on a Camaro than on a Mustang, right? haha

I am really pleased with my setup! Sounds like I am in a stock car when near a wall on the track and with relatively minor bolt-ons it is a blast. I am a believer in letting the motor breath and didn't want to go with a taller hood. Hard enough to see out of the one I have with the low roof.

I was checking out K&N 69-4519TP Polished Performance Intake Kit which promises 18.12 HP increase. Is that false advertisement?

Nightmare2012 · 04-23-2013, 11:29 PM

Jannetty did a comparison test and only brought back like 12 HP so yes it is false advertisement

mikeSS · 04-24-2013, 12:30 AM

If only want a intake for gains, don't get one. I enjoyed the sound of the intake over the gains which i never noticed.

now if you are tuning, its different story.

D2enigma · 04-24-2013, 12:51 AM

12hp gain sounds pretty good for $250.
I have a feeling I'll get flamed for this but to be honest, what interests me is the mpg gain. I also heard that its better for the engine in long run.
Having a V8, not sure how much of performance increase it would be at 12 or even at 18 additional hp.

I know right, same reason I got it before doing my cam and swapping with the Vararam, bigger cam means I need more air flow lol

Camper · 04-24-2013, 10:53 AM
