And we all know that dyno numbers can be easily inflated so what they're reporting really doesn't mean anything unless and until the competition is tested under the same conditions. Like I said, I'd like to see some independent testing before I buy their claim. I just don't trust manufacturer claims. Conflict of interest you know.

Sure. I will be testing this CAI on my personal car next week and will let you know exactly what it picked up from before and after.

And they also ended up with SAE 475rwhp with just a cai, chip, 3.00 pulley, and catback. They are the only ones I know of to have those type of numbers with the Eaton from just those mods.

It sure looks like rain and water kicked up from the ground might soak the filter from time to time.

I just called K&N in Riverside and they told me that there is NO FIPK for the 03 Cobra. Whta's the deal?

 

[BOOOOST]

Because the one K&N system is for 99-01. K&N has to get their stuff CARB approved in order to legally sell it, so that is why they say that. Buy something else.

I put i little larger air filter in mine but here is a pic. of the K&N fipk system.

That ribbed tubing does not seem like it would make for smooth air flow, I dont know alot about this stuff, but it looks like a pretty budget kit to me.

Also i dont know about you guys, but I would feel funny if I got caught in a down poor. Looks like one deep puddle would wreck that thing.

The ribbed tubing you see in the pic is the factory intake.........

 

[2003 Cobra]

I believe the ribbed tubing Brad is referring to is from the picture of the Kenne Bell air intake.

This is what I'm talking about. Is this not part of the kit?

 

[jordanvraptor]

My bad. Thought you were talking about the KN fipk pic.

46stang,

Do you have a part # for the larger filter? Or could you tell me were you got it?
I'm going to dyno on the 6/14/03 and would like to switch it up to see what works better.

 

[BOOOOST]

That ribbed tubing does not affect the airflow as it's a very large tubing diameter (4 incher), plus the flared billet aluminum adapter promotes laminar airflow into the MAF.

The kit works, plain and simple.

It should be out in the next month or two according to K&N. But who knows, when it does come out, i will be first on thier list to get one since they used my car to do thier testing. I'll keep you posted.
