Ok, with all the talk of late about the cold air intakes, I tried one again.
I put one on a while back and decided it was too much noise. It was the metal one from K and N.
This time I put the plastic tube kit from K and N on to try it.
It had the same noise(which I'm ok with). But after driving it for a few days, it was slower.
It did not have as much power as with the stock intake. Had to use more gas going up hill and it felt like it lost power.
I put the stock intake back on and I had my normal power back.
I don't get it. Everyone here has nothing but good things to say about them (and I believe you). But, my rig must be backwards or something.

Not doubting you a bit..
Maybe there is a flaw in the Nylon tube..I cleaned a bunch of plastic burrs from the molding cast from around my MAF port (inside) I wonder if that maybe a problem with yours or it simply ain't molded correctly and is flawed...But that is wierd.

Try a 12 year old bottle of Bushmills instead, that other crap is for degreasing engines and killing brain cells ... err .. CELL!

Shorty get a bottle of Glen Fiditch. There are different years so get the 12 year. I think that it tastes the best. You can drink it over alittle ice. It's, in my opinion, probably one of the best single malt scotchs out there.

If not THE best single malt according to some of my friends .. but why ruin it with ice!?! And cut yourself a cuban to go with it :-) Man I miss those warm summer evenings on the porch now .... :/

ok now i have to get that out of my mind looks like no super tonight
pickled that in the front now we have to feel bad for him.
I put one on my 4runner it sounded like **** took it right out.
then i just used the filter used more gas then i ever did .
But broke down and bought one for the H3 a lot better mileage saving ton of gas i think it depends on motors on the mustang nothing to notice.

Volant for ME
yah i have always been a fan of volant, i like the closed box, NTM the fact that they also have pretty good power gains, and sound good too!!
