...thats business days until my cai from brenspeed is shipped... **** that thanksgiving holiday for the extra delay!!!!

 

Ancient chinese proverb:

Good things come to those who wait......

 

At least you'll still have the weather to enjoy the cai once you get it and install it! I'll be putting my Mustang on storage insurance probably next week and drive "the truck" every day for a few months.

What cai and tuner did you go with? I love my C&L racer and SCT2 tuner that I got from Brenspeed late in 2006!

 

I know the feeling. It took Brenspeed 9 days to get my order delivered to me as well.

 

i ordered the steeda unit w/ the high flow elbow (i guess they all come this way now).

first - i like the sgt styling and this will look the same
second - our dealer sells those and after a long talk - pulling in with a steeda unit wouldnt throw up eyeballs like another brand might
finally - i dont forsee any mods like some on here do as its my DD. i did the gts exhaust and now this.

as for the tuner - sct2 was the only one i would consider

 

As did I. There are things I like and dislike about the kit and Steeda instructions really suck; but anyway, when you install the nipple in the 5/8" hose, use a lubricant, like 3-in-1. It's a pita without it. Also, be patient when removing the nipple from the OE tube (it's a pita as well).

Finally, trim both sides and the top of the box. They dont give you enough for the whole thing, so ignore the bottom. When you mount the new tube, keep the screws on the passenger side.

You'll know what I mean when you get into it.

 

thanks walt - appreciate the tips.

i will be sure to begin early in the day so my blood pressure will be nice during the whole installation and be sure to keep the forum up for any last minute help

 

Your welcome...

A little overkill, but you'll save time and get it right the first time. Also, watch the Brenspeed video, "uploading a tune" with great attention, as there are no instructions with the kit.

I thought for $600.00+, you would get more, but what do i know..

 

600??? according to my wife this is just another air $35 filter :P

 

Yea, but a real good one...

CLEARWATER,
FL, US 12/04/2007 6:54 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY

 

You bum.... ..I'm waiting for my CAI/tuner too...see you out on the streets !

 

JeffD;

I took another look at the airbox trim over the weekend. The best way to do it is to trim the contact points on the bottom, then work around it and end toward the grille. that will maximize the trim and give it a more finished look like the pic.

Btw, another forum member cut his 1/4 mile time by .5 seconds with a Brenspeed tune and BBK CAI; so you're in for a treat.

man - i am starting to feel sick - maybe i need to go home early

**cough** **cough**

 

Probably CAIitis

 

wow

did the install tonight. very easy.

did a quick test drive. like everyone says - this is how the car should be from the factory. though i only did a 1 mile or so test - i cant wait to drive some more.

steeda cai + brenspeed tune = very nice

 

i also heard a weird sound. maybe you can help me out with it.

my car is an auto. when shifting into second gear - it sounds like you kick a daschund. like a bark.. any ideas?

 

Sorry, I have a 5 speed. Call Brenspeed, I'm sure they'll be able to help.
Unless of course, you just sucked up a small animal during your test drive

 

Do you mean the tire chirp or the sucking un-silenced whoosh sound of air rushing in through the cone filter? Either of these are completely normal after such additions.
