    Well welcome to the site, and the best advice you will find here is make your own FWI (fender well intake) or buy TDCRacings one they are the best you can buy. Or you will hear bio tell you to go and buy a K&N filter and stick it on your TB lol.

    Secondly I haven't heard a thing about the dyno exhaust system any links?

    Thirdly I see no reason why the seafoam will hurt our engines. I was going to pick some up and do mine and I will post a video but I can give you a video of one of our mustangs doing it. YouTube - seafoaming my mustang

    Hope to see the dyno exhaust link soon, hope I could help

    Well you aren't going to gain any real power from a hi-flow cat. And you should save the 450$ you were going to drop into it and buy headers with them they will be the best breathing mod you can buy.

    And I try and support local vendors. But PFYC - PartsForYourCar.com - Performance Parts and Accessories for Your Late Model Vehicle is good and I haven't heard anything about 3800 performance but it looks legitimate.

    just buy a $25 3" cone filter from autozone and put it straight on your throttle body. zip tie the IAT sensor to somewhere near the cone.

    best intake you can buy for a fraction of the price of every other one out there.

    flow > air temperature

    Please don't buy that. You would get a MUCH better deal getting one of my intakes. That item you posted up is not even worth 30 bucks.

    TDC ok, i found your ad on here, im very interested, but just curious, say if i wanted to go with a short ram, could you do that, also just quick pricing, if i were to go with your design, i would want a black painted fender well (i can get my own filter just tell me what size) also with shipping, and if you do short ram could you tell me pricing on that, im very impressed with your design!! get back to me thanks!!!!!!

    The short ram would be the same price.What's wrong witht their design is it's way over designed for what it is and it doesent even look like it has a spot for the IAT (intake air tempeture sensor) And it def does not work like they say.

    Dont waste your time or money with a "short ram". A short ram intake is just a hot air intake with a little bit of piping that accomplishes nothing.

    I have in the past. Was unimpressed, and the car felt a lot slower. This was actually the first intake I had, so by slower I mean slower than with the stock intake.
