K&N filters flow substantially more than Spectre air filters of similar dimensions under similar conditions. It makes you wonder about the actual performance of any air filter supplied with a cold air intake kit.


Peak MAF readings @ WOT:

-895 for K&N
-868 for Spectre

That is a difference of almost 5% in readings. However, the MAF signal is not linear with respect to air flow. It gets less sensitive as flow rate increases. Hence, the difference in peak air flow is > 5%.

Here's a link that tells more about the MAF
http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h34.pdf

How was this done?
- 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8L 5spd
- monitored with SCT Livewire for MAF counts
- Cold air intake with 4" pipe to fender-mounted air filter
- K&N filter vs Spectre 4" clamp on air filters
- Peak WOT MAF readings were found near 5500 rpm with either filter

Most forums say that all air filters are the same. These results challenge that notion. ]]> Bolt Ons Jetflo http://www.3.8mustang.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259699 http://www.3.8mustang.com/forum/showthread.php?t=259688&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:55:38 GMT When I installed my AM CAI, I noticed that 2002 V6 did not have an intake air temperature sensor. How will this effect the performance of my car or is this common in some V6's.

I came across a problem that I'm sure almost everyone has with aftermarket headers, an exhaust leak, its causing a clicking sound on BOTH sides of my headers going to my engine, ive tightened all the bolts to the point where they wont budge, but i can still here the air puttering through, anyone got any ideas on how to stop this without going fast and annoyed route of just pouring jb weld all over the thing. I installed all the correct gaskets.


I wouldn't mind it, if i didn't hear puttering as a i drove...


Any help would be appreciated.

When it comes to performing mods were I am lost. I have installed CAI’s because it’s fairly easy. I wan’t to continue doing my own mods and saving the money. But I am lost with exhaust systems. I’ve been looking at the Mack Performance Cat Backs and there at a good price, and they look like they go connected to the cats with nothing else needed. Where I am lost is with all this Y’s and H’s. The Mac Performance Cat Backs I have seen don’t come with neither. I have a 2002 Mustang V6, the exhaust from the manifolds back I notice that the exhaust comes out from both sides down with separate pipes to the cats down to the 2 mufflers then after the mufflers they go to a y pipe to one pipe and out to the rear.

Now my question is, when installing the Mac Performance Cat Backs is necessary to have the Y or the H pipe or can I just install it to the cats down to the rear with installing the Y pipe and H pipes?

So now when I turn on the A/C or heat it will rev up 200-400rpm's for a few seconds make a small click sound then stop and return to normal idle, then after about a minute or so later it revs up again than stops. It does it at idle and while driving. The A/C and heat work and feel good, but I can not uderstand why it does that, is there to much air going to the pcv, or Idk any thoughts and suggestions or ideas would be great!
