Cold Air Intake

[SVT98t]

here ya go...

i made mine from one of those cheap $20 kits on ebay. its for a 99 mustang gt. i just had to make the holes on the pipe that connects to the maf bigger. and some precise cutting. i had a problem of the piping running into the oil cap, so i got a throttle body spacer and now it clears it perfect. and i have the heat shield on there from my marauder.

I have a 96 p71.....just about 100k miles...Would a Cold air intake be a good idea? If so where could I get one for a 96?

Any directions on how to put this on vehicle?

Ha, you did the same autozone honda tube as me, except I bought it when it was $25, they jacked up the price on those things for some reason.

Popular item after the F&TF movies+gas price rise=price. Gas went down but prices of other things still stay up there. Techron fuel system cleaner went from $5.99 to damn near $13

I used to have a homemade airbox for the K&N filter that came with the ProCharger kit. It drew air from the stock location behind the headlight using the stock airbox rubber boot.

IAT at idle was a solid 25 degrees above outside air temp and 15 degrees above on the highway. The IAT sensor is screwed into the cast aluminum right angle plenum that attaches to the throttle body above the driver's side cam cover, so radiant heat had a lot to do with the temp rise.

I started to design a better looking airbox but then got busy with other stuff, so the air filter has been exposed to the engine bay for awhile. IAT at idle can get 45 degrees above outside air temp and usually 25 degrees above on the highway. Drawing air from outside the engine bay does work, if you can get it.

I need to get back to that project.

I found a PI Zip tube from Blue Oval Chips.com for $42.00. I installed it on a 2004 Grand Marquis with a Cone K&N and it works great!

Cool, I helped you with the grille removal and you're hooking me up with zip tube info. Can't you just feel the love...lol

No hurry, though. I just got my service CDs and have been been balls deep in wiring diagrams for my 4V swap. So take your time.

I got it at Autozone.. But make sure you get the metal one because you have to put a small dent in it to make it fit over the Fuel rail..I did mine with a rubber mallet...The ends of the pipe were kinda bent up but I fixed that a little with a block of wood and a C clamp..It looks good untill you take the pipe off...Theres some wrinkles in the ends but no leakage issues yet..

Im more worried about that hole getting the filter soaked when its raining...But if the mustang guys can do it I can too.

Any part #s for that zip tube? Price?
Thanks.

Where did you get the zip tube, if you don't mind me asking? It's hard to find something that fits on the forward-facing TBs of the early aeros.
Nice setup.
