Don't get a CAI. They do nothing for you. If your car is like my brothers 2013 Mustang V6, you get your air straight from the grill. It doesn't get any colder than that, if you get an aftermarket "cold air" intake, you'll lose power if anything. They are strictly for looks.

I have an 03 GT and I have a BBK CAI with a 78mm TB. Noticed a huge throttle response. But I got it properly tuned also.

You wont 'lose power' from an aftermarket CAI (unless it's cheap).

Installing an aftermarket CAI to your stang won't make a difference other than making it sound a bit better and look better. You can also add a tune to it which would definitely increase power but that would void your warranty I believe.
If you do get a CAI, you don't need to invest more than $300 as that would just be a waste of money.

As it stand right now, he's getting the coldest air possible. The theory is that the colder air is more dense, so "more" air gets to the engine. A "cold air" intake is an open air filter in your engine that will take hot air from the engine bay, you will NOT see a power increase, if you see anything it'll be a decrease. Just science and experience talking.

Mine actually took my intake from the front by the rad with a cheapo plastic cover over it to the bottom of my bumper and it did increase for me, but I also tuned it. They do make a difference, just not on all car models.

I'd invest your money into a motor out exhaust or simply get a tune.

I can guarantee you any difference you felt was due to tuning.


EDIT:
There are MULTIPLE videos just like this one proving CAI's don't do anything.

Im mainly looking to get one, because the stock air intake it restricts airflow, and a aftermarket opens it up. I am also going to be getting a tune, so that's why I need help finding the best intake.

I already have several mods done, axle back exhaust, BBK headers, and a H-pipe. The only other mods I want to do is Get a CAI and a tune.
