What CAI Are You Running?

[wood4heat]

Is there much if any benefit to the air raid or similar kits over a DIY 6637 on a 7.3?

I chose the S&B CAI... I thought it was basically a manufactured GOTTS mod being that it is still enclosed and it pulls air from the fender instead of the engine compartment..

Dont know if it classifies as a CAI... But Im using the CDC Shaker Hood Intake... I dont think its worth the "retail prices" I've found online but Im extremly happy with the kit for what I paid

Awesome! I am jealous... I would definitely call that a CAI... keeps the cold outside air from being contaminated as much with hot under-hood air... I want one for my mustang

From what I understand, the CDC shaker kits for the mustangs are even easier to install than on the F150s... My F150 had a support bracket that had to be trimmed up a little bit to get the weather stripping to fit... The mustang supports are actually just outside where the cutout goes for the shaker kit...

A deal pops up once in a while on Ebay. Check out seller "MustangMods" Thats where I got mine for the truck. I stole it for way way way way less than retail

(On a side note, in the last month I have watched 2 Roush SiDo exhaust catback kits for the 04-08 F150 sell for under $300 from that seller)

Ill check him out sometime, thanks . And yes I have looked into the mustang's install procedure for the shaker hoods and the hood is designed for it, just cut out the hole in the right spot and fit in the rubber and it should line up perfectly with the shaker system .

The K&N intake was the first thing i did to my 04 FX4 F150 and i saw great increases in mpg. I think I do more highway driving than most at about 97% that may be why I've seen a larger increase going from 460 km's(285mi) a tank to arround 575 km's(357mi). I loved the responce and sound so the first couple tanks had worse mpg due to a heavy foot problem lol. I paid over 450$ for my K&N and it paid for itself in less than a year at 5 tanks every 2 weeks 3 years ago when fuel was at an absurd price( 150-160 a tank)
