    Cold air intake

    If I get the marauder air intake set up would that be better than getting a aftermarket grand marquis cold air intake?

      Said in his chip vs. tuner thread it's a 2000 MGM GS with 26k miles...

      Which aftermarket "cold air" kits are you looking at? Reason being, there are a lot of companies that will sell you a "cold air" that that consists of basically a piece of pvc pipe and an open, conical filter. If the kits you're looking at don't put the air intake outside of the engine bay (ie: in the fender well, or otherwise sealed off from the rest of the engine bay) all you're doing is sucking WARMER ambient air from the engine bay into the car. Which is exactly the opposite of what you're trying to do.

        the marauder intake is just like the regular intake with larger openings. It's a fresh air intake for all intents by pulling air from the gap behind the headlights. The only issues you might have is switching to the 6-wire MAF. I don't know if the 2000 models already used the 6 wire or not. Also, you'll need a tune to match the MAF to the car since it's a larger diameter to really get the benefits out of it. I think the stock MAF will bolt onto the marauder box though, so you can just use the box until you can get a tune set up for the MAF swap. If yours has the 4 wire MAF, you just have to change the harness to the 6 wire to use the marauder maf. I don't know the pinouts though for the proper splicing. I do know that the air temp sensor that sites in the stock airbox on 4 wire systems is the extra wires needed to fill out the 6 wire.

          The CAI from ADTR. The sound is worth every penny. Has the most intoxicating intake growl.

              What are some other good aftermarket cold air intakes I can get do I still need a tune if I get one

                Can't tell you which CAI is good/best, only that it needs to have a good heat shield or it won't actually deliver cold air. If
                you want the full benefits of CAI you'll need a tune/chip. Reason being is that, the benefit occurs at higher RPMs, if you don't raise your shift points you may never reach that range before the trans. shifts(short shifting)

                  The Marauder intake will fit you '00 just fine. The big advantage with the Marauder intake is not so much that it flows better (which it does, significantly), its the larger MAF sensor and the tune that goes with it. The Marauder MAF is 80mm and is capable of reading higher velocity air, such as at high RPMs, as well as being more precise than the stock 70mm MAF. This might not be super important on a stock NPI 4.6 backed by a why-pipe exhaust, but if you start modding and can get that engine to breathe, then it becomes more helpful. The tune is where its at, a good tune will increase power across the board, thru all RPMs.

                    I used to cut some holes on the fender side of the airbox on my police cars. Nice growl and it felt like it picked up some power.

                      Um, the Marauder tube will not fit.
                      Mainly, because it has a dual 57mm throttle body. Which is totally different from a 16v intake.
                      You will need the PI zip tube. And *IF* you want, a 80mm MAF, then you NEED a tune. You could do a warm-air, short ram style intake or get a Marauder airbox.
                      If I were you, I would throw a few mods on first(Ported upper plenum, 70mm throttle body, underdrive pulleys, 3.73 or 4.10 gears, dual exhaust and a J-Mod) then get the tune. If you change out the rear gears, you need to get the correct color speed sensor gear so that your speedometer isn't off.
                      You can do all the aforementioned mods without needing a tune.
                      If you put these all on, add the 80 MAF, then get a tune, you will see a better return on your tune. Not just performance wise, but money wise.
                      To give you an idea, on my 93, i have:
                      CAI, no pump fan, MSD coils, 9mm wires, dual exhaust with 2 less cats, J-mod all with NO TUNE.
                      In about a month, I'm installing a 06 CVPI motor, under drive pulleys, A/C Delete, along with a Marauder torque converter with a rebuilt transmission.
                      No tunes required.
                      Now, I will be at the threshold of my PCM's capability. just to show you how much you can do without a tune.
                      After the supercharger goes on my Marauder, the 80mm MAF will go on the Tank, and then, I will have to pay for the tune.
                      But GD-it-all, it will fly after that!

                      I hope all this text was worth your time.

                        Here is the end of the stock Marauder intake that goes over the throttle body:

                        More oval-like instead of round, like a 65mm throttle body.

                              The afe cold air intakes are the most common intakes and every one seems happy with them. What's the difference between the pro 5R and the dry S which one is better. And should you buy the cleaning kit they recommend or can I just clean it with water and a vacuum? Do they also have a spare air filter you can buy for that in case it gets damaged
