BBK one seems to work fine for me....showed good gain, just seemed to be a tad more "beefy" on the throttle and it also looks good!

I have the densecharger on my 01 - can't say whether it gave me any HP gains (no dynos to back that up) but SOTP, it worked very well. Throttle response seems quicker, engine "sounds" stronger, as as far as I'm concerned... no regrets.

Brian go with the densecharger, it will look the best on your car and have never heard really any negative things about them.

I have the Anderson Ford Motorsports NA powerpipe, it works well. I don't think it much matters which one you get although IMHO the BBK kit is crap (I have/had it)

I had a densecharger on my '98 for a few months, and it worked great. I also had the MAC chrome kit for about a year, and it sucked compared to the densecharger. Go with the densecharger. I would still have mine on, but I was unable to squeeze it underneath my strut towerbar without cracking/creasing the intake piping [Frown] .

doesn't fit right, the rubber fittings age easily, it's made of some chromed metal which traps heat exactly where you don't want it...

did I say BBK is crap btw? Any product they make is monkey-engineered and "guaranteed to fit with a deadblow hammer and sweat"

I have installed two densechargers and have talked to many people with the cold air kit and from my expiernces I belive that the BBK fits and looks better. If you are going for show and go get the BBk but if you are going all performance get the densecharger.

I have the densecharger on my 95 gt and it definately worked great. I had a K&N with the tornado air intake piece before I put it on and I still noticed a little gain. I have no knowledge of this but I hear that the densecharger is a better buy because the chrom CAI's attract too much heat and defeat the purpose where the plastic densecharger doesn't attract so much heat. The only thing I have against it is that it was harder to install than a BBK in some respects however the BBK also had it's downside especially on your car. WIth BBK you have to have someone hold the damn filter in the fender from under the car while someone maneuvers the pipe onto the filter then the filter has to be tightened from under the car too. [Mad] The Densecharger is black and instead of tightening them with those rings like BBK's the give you screws which on two black pieces it takes forever to match up the holes. I know nothing about MAC except I hear MAC is crap. Good Luck [patriot]

Well I have a 95 so we had to glue the mass air meter to the densechager with silcone glue provided by densecharger which was a pain in the ass not likt on you car but it took about 45 mins maybe an hour cause there is so much shit to pull apart on my car just to get the mass air meter. It took us like 10-15 minutes to get the BBK piping on but then it was a bitch to get the filter on from under the car especially without a jack. Fucking BBK decides to give you a filter that doesn't fit through the cut out in your fender. Assholes!!!!!! [Mad]
