i have a 1996 mustang 4.6 gt sohc im wanting to get an cold air intake for it.what are the advantages of getting one,is the engine louder and how much horse power do they give???
Cold air intakes generally allow that sucking sound like driving a carburated engine without an aircleaner.the cold air box that comes with the car, is just about as efficentyou would pick up hp, if you could pull cold air, from the base of the windshield
If you have other stuff done you will get more hp with the cold air, but if that's the only think you plan on doing you wont get much hp or mpgs Add an catback exhaust with an cold air intake and you will love the sound they make together and you will notice a difference in power
The best bang for the buck for the upgrades for the 96-98 4.6L Mustangs are the P.I (1999-2004) heads intake manifold. They are good for a 40 HP gain buy themselves. You can pick them up for a few hundred bucks at any junkyard.
