Cai - Which Ones?

[cbisket]

Hey fellow Roush fans,
I was just wondering what other CAIs are out there besides the
ones from Roush and Steeda,The Roush is too expensive and I've
heard the Steeda is a pain in the a$$ too put on. Any suggestions??
Prices,pics and where you got um would be FNSWEET

Welcome and glad you decided to post up! As far as I know, those are the CAI's most used by the Fn peeps, with good results too.

Speak to a local Roush Authorized Dealer/Vendor, they can get you Roush products cheaper than what you see on the RPP site. You'd be surprised at the cost of their CAI, I was...

Call JDM that's were i got mine from and at a good price,steeda is just to high my opinion.To each his own.

I got mine from Roush and sent back for the new tune to go with it. It was worth every penny to me. The new pulley was installed at the same time and when I got it back from the dealer, I thought WOW. And then I got the 4.10 gears.....and then.....lower trailing arms.....and then.....well I'm broke but happy.
I think no matter which one you choose to buy, you'll love what it did for the car. Good luck with your search.

I have similar mods and what I like now is I don't have to down shift to pass while cruising in 5th. Having to learn how to drive it all over again, gas pedal is so.....touchy.

I went with the Steeda, bought through Rangers Fan on the site, and the discount brought it in line.

Easy install, great results!

Check out this one from Anderson Ford 05-08 MUSTANG ROUSHCARGER POWER PIPE® KIT

Anderson Ford Motorsport Home Page

This Power Pipe® PKAF-0126C is specifically engineered and calibrated (using the NEW Abaco DBX 97mm digital mass air meter) for 05-08 Mustangs equipped with the Roushcharger kit .
The PKAF-0126C is equipped with the largest air box in the business supplying 819 cubic inches of cooler air to the DBX 97mm digital mass air meter and hooking that up to a 4.5'' mandrel bent ceramic coated Power Pipe that looks Fierce and flows 1300+cfms

With this awesome setup, we have seen an increase of up to 17 rear wheel horse power with no need to FLASH the computer on the Roushcharger equipped Mustangs. Utilizing the PKAF-0126C with bigger throttle body and or smaller supercharger pulley will results in even bigger gains in Horse Power and boost.

600 bucks for the power pipe seems a bit steep to me for 17 extra ponies.. Not having to flash or apply a tune is a bonus though and it does look awesome..

It's just a bit pricey to me..

I like mine,I would check out American Muscle.com

This one comes with the air tube, filter, and mass air meter. The others only provide the air tube and filter.

The Roush CAI is made by Airaid and is the same kit only with the Roush name on it.

[jpilcher10@cogeco.ca]

The Power Pipe setup is more than just an CAI and Intake Tube. It is also a Digital Maf that comes with software to allow for fine tuning. The maf will store up to 10 different tunes. It also allows for future upgrades. If you upgrade your injectors you just go into the software and select the correct the injector size and it adjusts the maf automatically.

I am really on the fence on this one.

Plus it looks really cool.

John

I noticed that you had the pully up grade,and was woundering what you thought of the upgrade? How much HP did you gain? See you on the road to B"ham.

I bet you can get it cheaper threw Airaid than you can Roush.Might be worth checking out if your wanting to save some $.

+1 on RangersFan AKA Steeda Steve. Send him a PM and he'll get you a price. Tell him if it is for supercharged or N/A.

My Steeda works great.

Install how-to here. I just stretched the intake boot over the Steeda billet inlet. Use a little dish detergent / water mixture. Yes, it is a pain, but when done it fits nicely.

it gave me 6LBS of boost intead of the 5lbs the original roush pully
gives you, the car dyno'd @ 375 rwhp and 365 rwtrq.
