What's the best intake? I own a 99 Max and was wondering which one would give me the best power gains. Someone told me that the Injen Cold Air was pretty good but I wanted to ask you guys first. Thanks for your help

 

i know that there is a hot debate between cai and hai intakes prob b/c cai have slightly more power but i absolutely love the sound and power out of my frankencar hybrid air intake.

this thread's gonna get flamed up the a$$

 

lol yea, but they are all preaty much the same i have cold air and i love it, i think it has improved slightly in performance when i have put on my extension.

 

CAI is good for low end power
short ram is good for high end power
buy the one that fits you best

 

i like me some high end

 

They're all good (performance-wise)...a better question: Which one sounds the best?

 

Hacked Airbox....cheapest, easiest, and still get gains....nuf said.

 

I would of done this, but I like the look of the cone filter under my hood.

 

looks are great, but a lot of the .orgers have found that you get better low end response from hacked air box. If you want high end, go ahead. I would rather have the low end and the torque, because we all do a lot more driving down under 80mph and 6000rpm....at least I do. I mean, I get it up that high, but not as much.

 

Ebay CAI! $50 shipped, if that. LOL That's where I got mine. Love the deep growl that I get when I floor it...which I don't do that often or anything ... Anyways, I love it; though I'm going to replace the "K&N STYLE" filter with either a real K&N or a MonsterFlow filter. I've had it on for about a 1k miles and haven't had any problems.

Again, the sound is Awesome! Hope this Helps. Take it easy.

same thing scott said.

 

very well said, i was thinking of going back to the hacked air box, but love the growl my cone gives, and low end was not a big lose but pushes great up top slightly better. Whatever floats your boat.
