Thanks! Gotta think about it like this, functional ram air with real heat extractors def isn't your run of the mill Autozone stick on scoops and vents, so yeah it isn't gonna be cheap! I've been looking at this particular one for a while now and I figured sitting around drooling for months on end is only gonna make me want it more... and continue to get me no where like these past 10 months that I have been watching it! Everything else just looks obnoxious, like nostrils or something, I just figured now was a good time to go ahead and do it before someone else does!

Damn that is pricey, but beauty ain't cheap. I bet it helps mpgs a bit. I have the airaid cai and sct x3 from 5 star. Just 87 performance/tow tune. Love it. It is a bit loud at times, but I do have magnaflow sido. U might check the threads with afe. Mike at 5 star I believe built a cover for the afe intake that some claim toned it down a little, but u might like it loud. Either way u go, that is gonna b sick w that hood. No doubt.

I've heard a lot of good things about 5 Star, I believe they're made close to me here in SC so I could prob save a penny pick it up and have him work with me on tunes so I wouldn't have to email him the readings... not real sure about that one though haha. Wouldn't be that big of a pain though just to do it the same way everyone else does... Would you recommend AFE over K&N? I believe they're close to the same price, K&N prob more though cause of the name.
I'm not sure on the cai's. I bought airaid cause it's got good reviews and lifetime warranty, and got a great deal from Ajusa. I've heard alot of people not liking k&n with the new fords, not sure bout which engines they had. Several people like the afe, which was my original first choice. Can't remember the warranty info on it though. But mike @ 5 star sells the afe intakes. Oh snap. Here's what u need, since u r about to put that killer hood on. Get the boss intake manifold, afe cai, and sct x3 all from mike @ 5 star. He does package deals, and I bet with that ram air hood and the 3 above mods, u would get some awesome improvements in power, and probably some in mpgs.

I bet it would sound good. Im not sure where he's at, but it might b a possibility. It would b sweet to work w him personally. Could probably come up w some killer tunes.

Yeah no doubt like he doesn't want us ordering one..Come on where did you get it or am I gonna have to google til my fingers fall off?? Also what are you doing with the stock hood? Figured too big to just keep laying around..Wonder how hard it would be to sell that on craigslist or what you could even get for it?
