on vulcan what would be the best option CAI in fender or K&N panel filter with removed silencer??..keep in mined cost and performance

 

[taurus8916]

yeah imo panel filters suck, even the k&n panels do, they just dont last long without recharging, so i did a cone in the wheelwell, the only way to go, make sure u get a decent cone filter, so the perf is at its peak!!

First things first... you won't get more than 5HP either way. With a CAI, you'll have much better performance on hot days. With the panel filter and saxomocone-free intake, you'll get most of the gains of the CAI, but only when it is cold out. You can fabricate a pretty decent CAI for next to nothing ($5-10 in hardware store parts) and the K&N cone filter is actually cheaper than the drop-in panel filter in most cases. I have instructions for a CAI in my signature--it's for a V8 SHO, so your parts and dimensions will be different, but it gives you a general idea of what it takes to make one.

I agree. The fenderwell CAI made a big difference in how my car performed.

 

[trojan]

what can i expect..what kind of sound differences?

 

[detroit_raver]

its an intake sound... i can't really describe it. it sounds kewl. i'm sure someone else can explain it for ya!

have you ever heard a crown vic police crusier at WOT????.....thats what it sounds like. Only a little quieter (that the only V8's in my area i hear wide open...

)

On the 3.8, it adds a roar at Wide Open Throttle, and a lower sort of loping sound at idle speeds.

 

[detroit_raver]

never mind trojan. i saw your superford account. we have the same floor mats! do u have them for the back also? i do. i am just curious to see your seat covers. do u have any pics of them?

Cost wise - the k&n airfilter is like $45 brand new (ouch), but that's what EBay's for. The plastic tubing I got at checker's for $5. It's the crinkle kind that can bend and turn in any direction. The duct tape...well, if you're any man, you already have it, but if you don't, Walmart - $5. I already had mesh wire, but I can't imagine that's very expensive either. Maybe another couple bucks. For that kinda price, I don't think you can complain.

What is checker's? Any website?
I'm looking for a 3inch crinkle plastic tubing. I have take off the whole air intake tubing. I want to connect a crinkle plastic tubing to the air box. I have tried several all kinds of store, but i can't find one.

The "crinkle tubing" is dryer duct tubing. You can pick it up in the plumbing dept at Home Depot...

Talk about resurrecting an old post!

I removed my cone filter and reinstalled the K&N panel. It is still a CAI, and it still performs the same. The K&N panel filter is more than enough, but if you must have a cone filter, go for it. Just don't expect any gains because the only difference will be in your perception, not in reality.

 

[godspunk32]

Wow...I didn't even notice that the original post was from January...

[carraudio]

Don't laugh but where the hell is the intake silencer on a Vulcan?

 

[godspunk32]

What gen?

It should be right in the fenderwell next to the battery. It will run from the air box down into the fenderwell, and looks somewhat like a saxamaphone...
