Title: Where do you guys get your aftermarket intakes?
Post by: Driverguy on May 10, 2011, 09:24:21 PM
Ive been browsing for a while now for a nice K&N intake to replace my stock air box with, but I havent found anything at all.  I notice most of the people on here have aftermarket intakes fitted, where did you order them from?  Or did you use one from a Mustang?  Ive checked Andy's auto sport and K&N.com and ive found some sort or 'short ram' intake...but have no idea what it does since theres no ram air hood on a Mustang....

I got mine from a mustang. If you get one make sure its a fender exit so it pulls cold air. I took mine off cause it was starting to rust. I'm running a stock air box with a K&N with the air silencer removed. If you dont get a fender exit intake you'd be better with the stock air box with the silencer removed cause it pulls cool air.

Yeah thats what i was looking for, a fender exit, just wanted to be sure a mustang one wouldnt be too small, but if you ahd one i guess it'd work...it's proving hard to look for one because nobody ever posts a picture of what the full thing looks like, most of the time they just put a picture of the filter itself so i cant tell if its a fender exit cold intake or not :S

I have a Turbo Coupe so I had to make mine with an elbow piece I bought and a Spectre air filter I liked, and then fit them in.

I used mustang pieces for both my 5.0 TC and my silver TC had to make some cuts to make it work for the turbo coupe but it looks good.
