| Should i get a cai?
I have the new 13' GT. I'm very apprehensive about getting a cold air intake for her. Due to the water getting into the heat extractors. I'm not very good at all making or fabing anything. Im good at fixing. Lol... What do you think?

If you really want one buy the C&L 13' unit, but you won't notice any HP gains unless you install a tune also. They do look and sound cool!

He already has an exhaust so he's getting air out, a CAI would suck a lot of air in. You won't notice a huge difference but throttle response will be a little better.

Everything I have put a CAI and exhaust on its gave me better throttle response. I'm not saying your wrong I just find it very hard to believe these 2 together wouldn't add throttle response on HP numbers.

What do you think? | U haven't voided anything with cat-back or axle-back exhaust (borla is my favorite!). 13s already have stock CAI. Only drawback you'll have is a non-OEM filter will dirty ur engine. Substantially more PPM allowed into the intake.
That being said, FRPP is selling the Procal tune with a 'free' K&N air filter that fits the stock CAI. I can't understand why but they do

An intake without a tune is basically for appearance. If you get a tune though, be mindful that your warranty COULD be voided. Just because you get a tune that doesn't mean that your warranty automatically goes out the window. I don't know how many millions of threads have been created about this. Bottom line is if you are fearful of losing your warranty you might want to hold off. Anyway, from everything I've read Steeda and Airraid are two of the best. I plan on going with a Steeda intake and tune here in a couple weeks.

| Tune over rides some parts of the computer an makes it more performance savvy. No?

Thanks guys! I'm not worried about the warranty.
I just want water getting on the CAI if I got one and the water getting into the engine

| Yes, why? Tune increases throttle response pretty good by itself

C&L is the only company, for now, offering a shroud that deflects the water from the filter. C&L Air Intake System for the 2013 Mustang GT

| It takes less computer out and more driver in if that makes sense
