im looking for a cold air intake system but dont know what to get. i have a 5.4L 2000 F150. i dont want to spend a whole lot of money. i was also wondering what is the best CAI performance wise? thanks

 

Do you want to make your own or actually buy one? Makin one is your cheaper route but everyone likes different brands. K&N and S&B and AEM are just 3 out of a whole lot out there. just make sure you get the intake tube the holder for the filter and the filter itself. some companies sell just the bigger filter and drop in box but its better to buy the whole kit to get your best performance.

 

look up the "gotts intake" for 97-03's. cheap way to get a good cold air kit on our trucks.

 

ok thanks for the info. i was really looking into buying one because if i make my own ill probly mess it up. but what kind of CAI are yall running that really helped them on performance?

 

2 of my buddies have K&N and i have S&B. They are both great brands but like Blue02Fx4 said the "gotts intake" is good. just look around until you see what you like the best.

 

smitty08...thanks man. i have been looking and the spectre CAI, it is so much cheaper than the k and n do you no if thats a good brand??

 

yeah man its all about the same thing. as long as it replaces the stock tube to your throttle body and gives you the new box and filter it should be just as good. anything is better thans stock. even a drop in lol that is what i had for a while.

 

alright lol kewl thanks man for the info but what do you mean when you say new box lol? I got everything else but that lol. thanks

 

spectre. 4" tubing. or pay double that and go with volant.

 

well S&B comes with an enclosed box but others come with an open holder for the new filter. My bad man

 

migdaddy...will the spectre 4" tubing do just as good as the volent? which do you recommend?

 

alright man i got you now lol thanks for your help smitty

 

no problem buddy

 

well the Spectre is not a ''true" CAI, because its not fully enclosed. the volant is. im lookin at getting rid of my K&N and getting a volant.
