im looking to purchase a cold air intake for my Ls. i know K&N has the ford thunderbird i can install in my LS. im just wondering if theres any other good CAI systems out there and whats the HP output. im leaning towards the K&N..any ideas?
 
I'm assuing you have a Gen II V8? If so the K&N is your best bet. If you have a Gen I V8 there are a few options like the ASMI and Insys, both available on fleabay.

It won't fit at all. Your best bet would be to cobble one up or.....

As The People's Republik changed the law, I have one sitting in the garage from my daughter's 2000. Let me see if she's willing to part with it. I'll get a pic later if she's willing.......

oh ok..yea just let me know thanks
 
B/c the k&n for the ls8/thunderbird wouldnt reach to the "Cold zone" behind the light...your previous post said that it wouldnt fit? Possible.miscommunication?
 
Even if you hack one up to fit a v6 you wont notice much if any real HP gain. The benefit to the cold air intake is more sound than anything.

She says she noticed it wasn't as quick on the rare occasion she got on the freeway. I reinstalled it and she will give me a report.

You're right, the tube would be too short. I was thinking of the connections; which are all wrong.....

Well.... She likes having the intake back on. She's not sure if it is actually faster, but she does feel it's quicker.

Here you go.... Also, on the end of the tube, under the filter is a "velocity stack".

Yea, I know it's dirty. I've been at her for almost a year to get it cleaned!

I was wondering if any of you guys tried retrofitting a 05+ CVPI airbox into the V-8's. They are the largest airboxes made on the Panther platform and have an integrated 80mm 6-pin slot-style MAF. Worth a shot.
