Fenderwell mounted Cold Air Intake
 

Just a question, Is it worth getting a fenderwell mounted cold air intake? I have and upgraded TB, Plenum spacer and upper/lower intake, so i would imagine a less restrictive air intake would be advantageous. The intake is a good price and i have a speed density car so i dont need to worry about calibrating an MAF or anything.

Any input is good, preferably someone who owns or has owned a CIA

I m running with the Steeda CAI. i ve heard that K&N are good also. But they re not fenderwell CAI and personnaly, i didnt want the fenderwell type just because i ve heard so much negative things about the elbow in front of the MAF causing turbulence and the MAF to malfunction.

I m not sure but i think you can rotate 90* the MAF to correct that symptom.

Im running a BBK CAI and i have no problems what so ever it looks great and does make a differance the car even sounded different after i did it. That was the first mod i did and it was money well spentthumb:

ive got the same intake as well.. sounds nice u can sometimes here the air being sucked up threw the filter.. but its the same as just slapping a cone on ur stock intake elbow.. just looks better when hidden in the fenderthumb:

Well not really it draws from completely outside your engine bay where as the stock one sort of does

On a FOX car, with the silencer removed, they are next to useless........ They do LOOK pretty though.

Hey SPEEDSTER, you found me here too wavehi: . lol

Shutttttt!!!!!
I m on a mission incognitoteeth:

The fenderwell CAI is beneficial because it draws in cold air instead of warm engine compartment air, which increases power. I have heard of problems with them on MAF cars but a SD car would have no problem and it would be a nice looking, power increasing upgrade.

I have a Roush CAI and am pleased with the look + fit and finish of it.
Tube is not metal and supposed to not conduct heat.
Seems to give better performance over stock but nothing earth shattering.
