Does it matter what kind of cold air intake you buy? my buddy is telling me tht i should buy the bbk cold air intake because its directly made for the v6.... but i see all these other ones and wondering if its alright to buy and install one of them..

this is what I was thinking about buying....
any remarks on it

 

I can't say I've ever heard of that one. I'd say stick with the more well known manufacturers when it comes to performance parts, but whatever floats your boat. Personally, I'd recommend a tune/intake combo from American Muscle or any of the major manufacturers.

 

All the major manufacterers make a V6 specific CAI, heres a link to AM. like SG36 said a combo kit is your best bet.

Doesn't that cause problems if you get a CAI without a tune? That is a good looking CAI. Looks like one that AM is selling.

 

I say its pretty much a waste doing a intake with out a tune. Yes the intake alone may give you a few extra hp but the two together make it a whole new ball game.

 

Where can I get the best tuning?

 

as the guys above said, American Muscle is a good starting point, especially if you are new to the game

Also, as stated above, CAI without a tune isnt worth it imo

 

Yea, but it sure is Purdy!

Does anyone know what changes Ford made to the stock air box in 2010 to call it a cold air intake? I noticed on my 09 it has a small opening on the bottom of the air box on the engine side. I suppose hot air gets sucked in through there. So did Ford just close up that hole and call it a CAI?

 

I personally have the Ford Racing CAI setup right now with a bama tuner and its runs really nice and whats good about the bama tuner is that you can chose between 3 different tunes that you can change at anytime (takes about 3 mins thou) depending on how much gas you wanna use and fast you wanna go, I ran my CAI on my car for about 6 mnths without the tuner ( i know, i know shame on me ) but it ran fine and gave it a good boost not as good as with the tuner but you will feel it if you go with one without a tune

 

Truth! If you are anti-tune and cool with dropping the money for looks/sound go for it
