Dude, any CAI will work, since they all have the same parts. You can even get a BOMBZ CAI from ebay and it'l work just as good as a K&N. I bought the steeda one for my v6 and over-paid like a mofo.
Because on AM it says Fits 1999 to early 2003 V6 Mustangs. And i'm not really looking for performance gains, just trying to give my exhaust a little deeper sound.
you'll gain about 3 to 5 RWHP They all work the same some are just shiner then others CAI are designed to lower the temperature of the air entering your engine to maximize the power your car performs better and produces a intake noise. doesn't change the exhaust note
I was told you get a deeper note with a aftermarket CAI. But i bought the cheapest one off americanmuscle. I'm not trying to pay like 200 dollars more if they all do the same thing. thanks for the imput guys.
Yah, that American Muscle one should fit your 3.9 fine. I remember reading a comment/review from someone on the site, he had a 3.9 and said it fit fine.
Yah the sucking noise is pretty sweet. I can hear mine as soon as I put in drive and let off the brake. When I'm driving on the highway with the a/c on the sucking noise comes and goes, like a purge...I like it
I had this problem on my old v6 it had an extra hole for a different model and if yours doesn't use it make sure you put a bolt or something in it because it is not good.
3.9 was the mid season motor for 2004 The 3.8 became a 3.9 because of the Windstar. Ford overbored the 3.8 to create the 3.9 for the Windstar to make it sound better in advertisments. There is no difference between the two different displacements other then the bore size. There are FWD and RWD blocks, but the main difference is the block to trans bolt pattern and engine mount bosses.While ford says no power increase the 1L is good for 3 to 5 HP IMO
i thought they used the windstar cranks and got the extra .1 from stoke?
