Is the (Inlet air temperature control system) and (Cold weather modulator) that are hooked up to the intake something i can remove and replace with a small moroso/summit aircleaner?? _____________________________ 1986 Mustang Hatch 2.3L,.....37,331miles 1965 Mustang Coupe 289,....44,267miles (in reply to ExtrmZ) Post #: 6
