hello to all, I have a 2013 gt, I live in France, I would like to give a little more power, if I put an air intake from a model from 2015 to 2018, should I change the throttle???

changing the air intake from a newer car will not gain you anything.

The stock throttle body flows more than the stock intake flows, it's not the choke point.

Think of the engine as an air pump... increase intake (Steeda, JLT, etc.) and exhaust (Borla, Magnaflow, etc.) with a decent tune (Leto, Lund, etc.) and you should be happy with the results... for now since power is addicting. LOL

An Intake manifold upgrade and a tune will really wake the gen1 Coyote up.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. We can also help with tuning if you need assistance.

2018+/2021+ intake manifold you can do Ported or Unported
( Same manifold except the 2018-2020 has a gray top the 2021-2023 is all black and is the only option available new)

They have a LOT higher octane fuel in EU and France vs North America. If legal, Long tube header's and a tune would more than wake up that eng. Toss in the various options that beefcake mentions, and that would be as good as it gets for a NA eng.

Bonjour. :D
Before you start buying parts, set a budget and then consider the options of either keeping the engine NA (naturally aspirated) or adding a supercharger kit.
A supercharger kit with a custom tune can get you to 600+rwhp with just a weekend's work. You'll need to save close to $10k (€9k) but it'll be well worth it. Your next concern would be upgrading the transmission to handle over 60% more power.
Your other option is to enhance the engine with some simple bolt ons (cold air intake, '18-'22 intake manifold, long tube headers, your favourite axle-back mufflers, and a 93 US octane tune). This will cost you a lot less, and you can add the upgrades gradually, but the maximum you'll get is about 430rwhp (stock is about 375rwhp SAE). You will, however, be able to raise the rev limiter to 7500rpm so you can have 500rpm more fun, and you won't need to upgrade the transmission. If you have the MT82 manual, you could swap in a short throw shifter to improve the driving experience.

Yeah, the lowest grade of fuel in Europe is 95 RON (91 US octane) though 97 and 98 RON are also widely available. It also has 10% ethanol.
AFAIK, European regulations require the cats to remain in place and there's a noise limit of 95dB. I'm not sure how strictly the noise limits are adhered to when a few Ferraris and Lambos are louder than that from the factory, but there you go. Therefore long tube headers with high flow cats shouldn't be a problem and it'll just come down to which mufflers you use.

Thank you ... I have already put roush silencers I will surely change my mt82 for a ford performance....and surely take a CAI without tunes because otherwise you have to buy a tuner..... and a supercharger kit, delivered in France it's really too expensive .....

A CAI without a tune would be a waste of money 'cause most of the power gain comes from the tune. Otherwise a CAI would merely be underhood eye candy to show off to your buddies.

But what is the difference in a CAI with?? And without a tuner???

Any CAI that does NOT require a tune will not give you any more power. The CAI's that do require a tune will provide for more power.

You can also tune the engine, with the existing oem (original equipment manufacturer) and obtain more power.

There is no way you will obtain more power without a tune. Well, you will get a tiny bit more power if you use the highest octane fuel available to you. The eng, stock, was designed to run on 87 octane. With higher octane fuel, the HP increased a bit, and the torque increased by quite a bit.

If you really want substantially more HP / TQ, long tube headers are the real ticket.

in France have SP 98 octane 98... will it work?,,

Yes, 98 RON is equivalent to 94 US octane and since most aftermarket Coyote 5.0 tunes are for 93 US octane fuel, you'd have a small extra margin of safety.

Wow.... thank you for these huge details.... would you have CAI models with tunes?? BBK?? AIRAID???? And for the long tubes too??? Thank you very much.....

The JLT and the PMAS would be my top choices for an 11-14 GT.
For long tube headers I'd pick American Racing, Stainless Works, or Kooks.

This might inspire you:


It's a bolt ons 14 GT making 428rwhp @ 7000rpm & 383rwtq @ 4600rpm. Note that there's at least 350rwtq from 3000-6000rpm, and the engine pulls hard all the way to 7500rpm.
