Just take out the air silencer, and put a panel K&N in. Stock Cold Air Intake, it's FREE.
FordMuscle did a test on it too, and they found no difference. Maybe on a charged motor it would help more.

The best part IMO, is that sweet chrome tube leading to your throttle body. The stock rubber one looks, well... too factory to me ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

yeah when I first had my K&N and then a tornado piece too then changed to the CAI I thought I had more throttle response without the CIA. But it's lees stuff in the way and looks a lot better. I don't mind it for the price I paid for my densecharger. ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

good call, my blower used to suck air straight off the header, now it's in the fender and i picked up 3 lbs of boost from that alone.

It made a difference on my '94, but the air track on a '94 is different to a fox body...I recommend you go with a fenderwell kit....(beware)I've never seen any "BBK" Cold Air Kits fit well at all!!!(Sorry,I dont like BBK)....I have a MAC Cold Air kit and I love it...It matches the rest of the chrome on my engine....If you dont have any chrome under the hood I would recommend getting the Densecharger (ABS plastic doesnt get as hot) ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I gained more throttle response with my Cold Air fenderwell kit befroe the blower, but you can get teh same effect from removing the silencer

Well, not quite true. The K&N panel will run you about $40.
I got a Moroso CAI and think its not bad. Not worth $100 though. If you can find a used one then its worth it. My "butt-o-meter" rates it about 3-5HP.
