Like 'racing' plug wires, 'hot' coils, aluminum driveshafts and electric fans; cold-air ikits have some value for better performance of your engine/car but they don't add a lot of HP or real noticable performance increases. However, it all adds up - especially if you stay with stock heads and intake.

A K&N filter in the stock airbox (silencer removed, of course) is a pretty good air grabber and works well for tens of thousands of Mustang owners. I used one for ten years but wanted a bit more and was willing to pay extra to get it.

Worth the money? It was worth my money but maybe cold-air induction isn't worth yours. That's your call.
