best cold air intake

I was looking at putting a K&N 77 series on my 05 4.6L, is there anything out there that is better as far as hp gain?

Just remember! Out of any of the intakes,,the most you will ever see from any of them is 3 to 5 HP!
So most people get the one that looks the best to them. It's more of a looks mod then a performance mod.

Call 'em and tell 'em you're a member of this site, give her your screen name here..

I got my AF1 and Xcal 2 from TP and I've had nothing less than an excellent experience.

Don't plan on it - you need a combination of things cleaned and updated for those kind of results.

Small, if any.. a straight-through cat-back exhaust will increase your mpg a bit though.. I gained 1.8 mpg with mine.

i gained 30-40 miles a tank with my K&N77 intake *but i also have exhuast headers and just mufflers no cats* think of it like taking a breath if you breath in alot you need it to exhale that same amount. So if you get a CAI an exhuast would help alot. just my .02 cents!
