Two weeks ago, K&N called me to ask if they could borrow my car for some more R&D on the CAI they were developing... rrobello got me the hook up, and I thought they had finished it all on his car... anyway, they took it for two days, gave me a 300C to drive (not a bad switch!) and then two days later he brought it back. As he hands me the keys he says... "Oh, we got the numbers we wanted, so we left the kit on there for you. Your old parts are in your trunk." Then he adds, "Just dont tell anyone yet, we dont want to relase any info..." So, I have been chomping at the bit!!! rrobello called me to let me know they were sending his out, and that they posted my dyno numbers on their website. YIPEE I can brag now. LOL!!!

I am off to take pics of the only installed K&N air intake, for now. rrobello was getting his shipped Thursday, so, he might have his as well.

Will post link to dyno, and pics of the kit later today.



Oh, and much love to rrobello, dude YOU ROCK!!!! Thanks so much for the hook up... K&N said they will probably use my car for adverts since mine was the first installed kit.

 

Nice score. Your car as a test mule and a free CAI. Life is good~

 

What did they say about flashing the cpu. From the website, it looks like they are saying you only need to detach the battery to reset the cpu. Will this be enough?

 

right on, this is the info I have been desperately awaiting, congrats Jessica on the new intake, and can't wait to see the pics.

 

The install instructions show that the Hydro-Carbon assembly is re-inserted into the new K & N assembly. I wonder why? Or maybe that is the reason that a flash is not needed on this setup? Any clues?

 

There is a '05 Kit on their site. It's the Aircharger kit for off-road and racing (ie... not street legal, off road and racing warranty only) part # 63-2565. Is this the same one as your's Jessica or did they give you the street legal model? This would make an easy switch with the stock version as long as you didn't have to flash the cpu.

 

I asked if it needed a flash, or tune. He said not needed. HOWEVER, a flash will increase the HP numbers, as will a tune.

Here is a pic of the kit.

 

stole the c&l design ! I see lawsuit.

 

looks pretty good, lucky rabbitt

 

This is totally street legal.

 

And which CAIs aren't "totally street legal"?

 

Doc, I was responding to the question about mine being the unit on the site, which is not street legal, only used for racing off-road.

 

Oh.....nevermind

 

Very nice. Can we assume the pipe is plastic? What is the cost? Thanks

 

it is about time. now i want to see some dyno numbers

 

4filters.com has it for $286.00. Seems a little pricey to me but if it really does 15 HP without a flash I'm all over it.

i wonder how true it is?

 

MMR claims the same thing with theirs for $100 less. I had one ( MMR ) it lasted about a half a day and I pulled it back off and ordered a Steeda.
Not saying that the K&N is a bad product. Just saying that MMR claims the same thing that K&N claims, and I know what I thought about the MMR.

 

That looks exactly like the one listed on the site as "non-street legal". I guess we will learn more when K&N actually announce the "street legal" versions.

Haven't you seen the different brands of intakes for older mustangs? They are basically all the same thing. There will be no lawsuits...
