it's a matter of making room and deciding what's important. i cut a 3" hole next to my radiator in my FC TII, relocated my coolant reservior, and only removed my AC system to fit in my CAI. LOL
but i know other people who drilled the hole by the windshield wiper fluid tank, and sucked from the fender well, without removing anything.
it's just a matter of creativity. most old fox body mustangs suck CAI from the fender / wheel well.

Would a K&N intake keep your warranty in tact? And I am aware that they cannot deny warranty claims unless the part caused the failure, but dealerships are largely more leniant with some performance mods more then others. So how would an intake affect it?

16 sounds about right. This engine likes to breathe. Even my RSX with cai was making about that much with intake.......I say about because i only saw others dynos. But for a ram air set up thats really good. I say wait for some of the others first tho.
Hopefully AEM comes out with something.

I know my dealer will not mind if I put in the K&N, as they are the oens that first told me to look them up. Highly recomended them too.

Of course, seeing a picture of that intake makes one realize that it would take about $30 in parts to make it...
I think the only "trick" there is the hotwire sensor - the size of the pipe where the sensor is located probably has to be a fixed diameter. That, and a flange has to be fabbed to bolt it onto the pipe. Not rocket science, that!

Just like an aggie - wanting to cut up a brand new car to do a job that K&N might have a little more expertise with... Better yet, it's a good way to save money right? Now where's my hole saw?

16hp from an intake is unheard of. If anything you would be restoring lost power (clogged restrictive filter) an making a small additional amount from the additional airflow. I'm sure "tuners" are going to start making engine dynos with their intakes and people are going to "ooh" and "ahh." Sigh.
Seriously, I've been seeing this clown with the caps lock on typing in orange on this board...horrible.

By the way, if it is a newer keyboard (2-4 years old or older) you CAN most likely wash it. Disassemble it. If the circuits are printed on plastic sheets you are good to go. Wash the topcover with keys, wash the plastic circuit sheets (but be sure to dry them with paper towels - no water spots allowed), and dry everything thoroughly. Oh yeah, and reassemble. :D

Do either of you guys (RX-EVolved or h8CAfwy) have a contact name at K&N? I would love to get my hands on an intake, post a full write-up on the forum, and post unbiased results. If it does in fact make 16 hp, which I believe it can, then I want the entire community to know. That would go a fair way toward shutting up some of the nay-sayers.
