I need some opinions

A CAI will improve upper mid range power (however slightly,) while a short SRI is better for top-end power. But as Dale (shipo) states, all this comes at a cost and that cost is low end torque.
To verify this, do a search for dual or variable function manifolds, which our cars also have BTW. It's basically the same engineering.
Low speed= long runners. High speed= short runners.

Pay attention to "shipo". Nothing short of a super charger or turbo charger will give you "noticeable" performance improvements. However, there are a number of after market exhaust systems that will make you and others "think" your car is faster by adding a nice little growl. Amazing what the imagination will do...

a search on youtube shows many videos of people with different intake and exhaust combos and brands, all of them showed an increase in hp and tq. Careful comparing mustang dynos to dynojet dynos, mustang dynos do not provide an accurate read out they tend to show higher numbers than actual
Stock 2.3 makes 130whp that is taken into account drivetrain lose and accessory lose

2.3 with I/H/E ~150whp depending on brands chosen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N2AZaGJ5b4
Stock 2.0 makes about 120

2.0 with I/H/E could about 140
"Lucky" for us the stock intake and exhaust systems are so restrictive that if you spent money you could actually get some gains from it. The numbers provided vary about 2-4 hp/tq and the numbers could be higher when coupled with a hypertech unit.
Before ppl get too excited lets see what the money to power ratio is:
Intake: $120-300 2-7 increase
Exhaust: $150-500 2-7 increase
Header: $120-400 2-7 increase
Just because something costs more does not mean its better, example is any bmw 04 and newer. To find which brands work best you have to look around on forums and see what results other members had. Id love to do a dyno pull but dont have the funds.

is that 2-7 HORSEPOWER?? not even worth mentioning,especially if i spent 500$ and only get 5HP.your car will make more HP after each run to a point ,maybe 2-7 more,stock
