Cold air intake

I have a bone stock 5.0 103000 miles. was wondering if I should put in a cold air intake or throw a k&n in the stock system minus the silencer?

All you need for your setup would be to remove the silencer and replace the paper air filter with a K&N style oiled filter.
No need to spend (waste) the extra money for a cold air intake just yet.

Cold Air Kits





The Facts About Cold Air by: Pro-M Racing

Does your application require a "Cold Air" calibration? This page will answer that question, as well as educate you about how a cold air kit will affect your mass air meter.

A cold air kit is a simple and effective way to increase horsepower. Cold air kits direct cool air from outside the engine compartment to the engine's induction system. Our "Cold Air" mass air meters have a special calibration meant to be used with these kits. Our "Cold Air" meters also come equipped with an air inlet screen. This will be explained later on this page.

First, let’s go over the different types of cold air kits:

Type 1:****The first, and most common cold air kit, has an elbow attached to the front of the mass air meter. This elbow directs cold air from outside the engine compartment into the mass air flow meter inlet.****Our "Cold Air" meters are specially calibrated for this type of cold air kit. If you are using this type of cold air kit, you should order a meter with a "Cold Air" calibration.

Type 2:****The second type of cold air kit positions the mass air meter out in the fender well, with a conical filter attached directly to the front of the mass air meter housing. This type of cold air kit requires no special calibration for the mass air meter.****If you are using this type of cold air kit, you should order a meter with a normal calibration.

Type 3:****The third type of cold air kit consists of a conical filter attached directly to the front of the mass air meter housing, and an enclosure around the filter. This enclosure is ducted into the fender well, and supplies cold air to the outside of the filter, which will be drawn into the filter, and of course the engine.****This type of cold air kit requires no special calibration for the mass air meter. If you are using this type of cold air kit, you should order a meter with a normal calibration.

Type 4:****The forth type of cold air kit is not really a cold air kit at all, although they are commonly advertised as such. These kits consist of a conical filter attached directly to the front of the mass air meter housing with no ducting of any kind to retrieve air from outside the engine compartment.****If you are using this type of cold air kit, you should order a meter with a normal calibration.
