Wheres my air silencer?

Unbolt the box that holds your air cleaner. It's on the other side of the fender from that box. I think it's 3 screws to unbolt it, and a lot of bleeding to remove it from inside the fender - have a bottle of bactine handy.

The air silencer is located under the passenger side fender in front of the wheel and inner fender (plastic liner). Open up your air filter box, remove your air filter and look in the air intake opening through the inner fender and see if the air silencer is still there. It is easy to remove and it will help improve air flow. I'd also suggest a K&N air filter if you plan to keep the stock air filter box. Hope that helps.

If you really want to improve air flow, I'd suggest you replace the stock air filter box and flex plumbing with a cold air induction kit. It consist of smooth large diameter pipe and locates the air filter under the fender (where the air silncer is located) so that it can draw in cooler outside air. They are available on ebay for approximately $50 and up. I bought one of the $50 kits and am pleased with the results. I could tell immediately that the car was making more power.

Wow... they still MAKE Bactine???!!!

Sorry, but I gotta call BS on this. I know that the fox cars supposedly reap benefits of these CAI kits better than my car, but I noticed *zero* improvement. I doubt that you would even be able to "feel" the power increase even on a Fox car. Also, the 90 degree bend doesn't exactly help airflow.

Guess so.

Look it up in a freaking book or on Google, you grammatically challenged troll.

Reading your idiotic, presumptuous blather shows me the bottom tier I forget about so often.

Again, why can't you perform this simple research, and answer these questions on your own? The reason is because you are not only a sodding idiot, you're a lazy one as well.

Go get a 40 and a blunt, and d> Does anyone know if an 88 gt have an air silencer? id like to remove it if

My airsilencer is on a shelf in the garage. :p

Just the way he put it is all. I don't have the factory air intake.

Thank you, Mike ;-)

He/she/it just brings out the worst in me. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I'm still recovering (and eating).

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, holidays alone pretty much suck; been there, done that. And you got leftovers, to boot! ;) Such fun. Not so much.

Well, I hope your Christmas turns out better!!

We're having "put-up-the-tree day". The wife gets so excited about this yearly event... pulled muscle in shoulder burns like hell, but I won't bitch about it, "is this straight", fuss fuss, "I need help with this", etc. She's not at all high-maintenance in general, but this is a yearly EVENT. If I were still single, I'd get a Charley Brown tree, and be done with it. :)

The Mustang went into hibernation last week... washed, waxed, covered and garaged... I'm relegated to my 89 Tempo a.k.a. "The Silver Bullet" for about three months now. Not much doing with car stuff at this point, except planning next year's projects...

H> My thanksgiving was basically me being home alone in my new apartment

Me too, but it doesn't look like it's gonna... unless I can close this business deal Monday. Then I'm going to buy myself something for Christmas... :P~.

HAHA yeah... I like putting up Christmas trees though.. but I guess I'm not as sick of it as you are since I don't ever get to do it ;).

Which will obviously involve forcing an extra 150rwhp out of the car, right?

Thanks.

I hope you did... and may whatever you buy equate horsepower, processing speed or increased bandwidth

It's quite a big deal around here. It always turns out well, just quite a fussy one with it, she is...

I think the Paxton blower project is a go for 05, so at least 100, yes. I'll need a new clutch. I hope that 8" Currie limited-slip doesn't blow. CobraJet had a similar unit in his 68 C/S that did 13.20s, so I think they are stronger than advertised. I'm keeping the stock radials and no traction bars so it won't launch quite so hard, but WHOOSH ha haaa see ya!!! Eight mpg? Who cares? Not a concern.

No problem.
