FRPP "Bullitt" CAI w/ Modded Radiator Cover

[avinaj80]

What's up fellas? Snapped some quick pics of my Sunday project. Went with the FRPP "Bullitt" CAI. Went more for looks this time around. I'm not racing out there nor do I think I will anytime soon. Had to cut into the TruCarbon radiator cover I've had. It's been off since I installed the Shelby hood pins. Just didn't have the hart to slice into it. So I said to hell with it and went for it. I'm happy with the end result. I know the bay needs a little cleaning here and there. Some billet caps and it's set off proper. Check the pics and let me know what you think. Thanks fellas!!!

Did you get the ECU reflased at the same time? I know that FRPP sells the CAI with a tuner. I'd like to get just the CAI byitself and get a BAMA tune.

looks good and they work well but that is a factory bullitt intake not an FRPP cai system. The bullitt has the 2 holes on the bottom of the rubber intake hose(you plugged) and the Ford symbol in not painted on the factory bullitt one. This is a FRPP aftermarket one.. My car..

Your car looks great!!! Nice and clean. I know the FRPP CAI doesn't have the silencer holes and logo painted. From what I remember is that FRPP developed the CAI and upon its release it was sold just the way you see the one I got. I remember Doug from Bamachips (before the AM sell), did a whole write up/review and it was deemed the FRPP Bullitt CAI. Either way, I love the way it looks and it works really well for sure.

I did get it reflashed. I got the Bama tunes for life program so the new tune was free. I've changed CAI's 4 times now in the last two years...lol I got this CAI used and it didn't come with FRPP's programmer. It's just a great looking nicely functioning CAI.

What happened with that cai is that it was first introduced on the Mustang Bullitt in 08, with the silencer holes and no painted logo. Everyone loved it and asked Ford to produce an aftermarket version and the FRPP was made without the silencer holes and the painted logo. You have the factory Mustang Bullitt version and I have the aftermarket FRPP version.

Order the FRPP CAI from AM with a SCT tuner. Get the BAMA tunes for life with it. Is what I did.

Ok, so we have basically the same CAI made by the same people. I'm pretty sure the ford racing logo wouldn't of been embossed on the box if they didn't have plans for "aftermarket" production. These CAI's are the same except for a couple of technicalities. Either way factory or FRPP, it's a damn good looking well working CAI. I really like that it has less air howl and I can hear the exhaust more...

Your air filter looks like it's seen better days.

It has... Thats how I got it, too eager to throw it on already...lol Its that good paper element. I got a K&N on the way then it will look much better. Doesn't make sense to get the paper type replacement when a washable K&N can be had for $10 more.

Doesn't make sense to get the oiled K&N filters when a dry one can be had for $10 more

All kidding aside, I dig the one-piece radiator cover. Very nice piece.

 

[avinaj80]

^^haha...lol I'll probably buy both to have as when I need to clean the K&N I can slap on the paper filter.

That one piece cover is really nice. Kinda didn't wanna cut it but said to hell with it. Looks really good I think...

yup... You are right.. hey probably had plans from the beginning to make an aftermarket one. I think its the BEST looking cai of ay manufacture out there. And th ehp/torque numbers it can put down(mine makes more then any other stock (with cai) I have ever seen.) Don't fall into the group who swear that this cai is inferior to the others out there, it just ain't true and my dyno numbers prove it.

I bought this filter. Its actually tan like the new GT500 is and looks excellent and is cheap

[avinaj80]

That is really cheap... I work at a parts distributor and our cost is twice of that on the same filter!!!! Someone has something backwards...

Your right about these CAI's not making the same hp as the others. Down to the nitty gritty? Maybe. Do I feel it? No... Feels the same as when I had the jlt. Just with no detonation...lol

Follow the link, I have a 2008 bullitt and bought a real nice dry filter from Green Racing that is made specifically for the CAI you have. The ones from ford suck and this is washable, one time purchase 65.00.

AEM Dryflow filters are also washable and do not require oiling. They're also not....green

Great links!!!! Thanks guys!

 

[avinaj80]

The green one is nice. Would really fit if I had a Bullitt or a Legend Lime. It's a little more then the K&N. I have never had any issues nor do I believe a cotton gauze filter is inferior to a paper element. Is a cotton filter better than a paper? Don't believe so either. Just nice to have as the wells for these paper filters will dry up.
