it should work. I think you can make a kit yourself for cheaper though. check jegs or summit for a bonnet and then you can buy the pieces to piece it together plus the air filter

I agree with UnderCover89TBI
Item# 865-98499 is the Part # for the bonnet on jegs, its a Specture 4" outlet.
It was around $94. if you shop around you might find one cheaper.
Than all you have to get is the filter & piping.

Re: Will my LO3 work with this CAI?

it's pretty and also pretty expensive

I see by your location that you are in Orlando

if you look at that system it is still sucking air from under the hood.

With your high 90 degree summers you will no doubt be using your A/C a lot and I-4 can be miserable for traffic with the never ending construction so you will have high under hood temps.

Honestly, go buy an open element cleaner just to add more volume and make the engine bay more attractive. You aren't going to improve the L03 to anything you would notice even if you plumbed piping to outside of the car for intake, especially during the summer.

I'm on the Gulf and my stang and Z have noticable differences in performance on those chilly winter nights we've had vs during the summer and on those cars I have true CAI's

No matter what you need to upgrade your air intake. If u like a CAI kit better than an air cleaner do it.

Is the CAI or open element more likely to give me more power?

Nothing that you can feel by the seat of your pants. Seriously, it takes 10 to 15 HP increase in engine output before you feel the difference.
