Default Which intake would you get

Which intake would you get? Both do not require a tune but they increase power. Thanks for all comments good and bad.

Neither. Get one that takes a tune. Don't try to avoid it... a tune is where the power is at.

Neither -- grab an ebay one for $60. They work great and with the money you save you'll be halfway towards an Xcal!

Discussion and links here: http://www.mustangforums.com/m_3320427/tm.htm<-- I've been running one of the second type posted for 5 months, and it's great.

LX is right. Get a C&L or TI with a tune from a reputable shop. Not woth just throwing on a cai without a tune IMO.

No point in gettin an intake without the tune. Your better off getting the tune without the intake lol. Invest and get a good performance tuned Intake and SCT Xcal 2 combo.

I agree with LX and rygen, go for the CAI that needs a tune. I got the TI and love it right now the deal is like $475 shipped for the CAI and tuner....good luck

I just noticed that the western motorsports also has an option for a tuned kit.

+1 this is what i just got...the tuner costs 400 from everyone else, and shipping was 12 bucks so it was basically just over 60 bucks for a great intake. very noticable power gain.
