I think the first part I'm gonna upgrade on my manual mustang 2012 gt is the cold air intake. I heard they can up 30+hp at tq. What is the best cai for hp/tq gain out there? Thanks

I'm not sure if anyone knows for sure since they're still so new to the market and not many people have tried and posted about them.



Oh wait....

Its my personal opinion that a cia doesnt really give you anymore power, whats providing the power change is the tune afterward. A tune with stock cia will most likely get you same power on a stock 5.0

CAI are mostly for looks on these cars, lucky to see an actual 5 hp gain. The gain is from the tune like others have said.

CAI is a waste of cash for your first mod....no proven gains just from CAI ..op there is a ton of threads about this just search and this isn't tech

Oh no Ryan sniffed it out! This is the kind of thread you love for man! Lol!


OP,

Tough out this thread and read a little bit or a lotta bit. Like others have said this has been covered but ill break it down for you...


Stock one has proven time and time again to be just as good as aftermarket.

So if you want one really badly than get the one that will look best under your hood. If recommend the PJ carbon fiber one for sale in the classifieds section.

There's a ton of good info you just gotta dig brotha.

Best of luck man!

Best one is the HoneyBadger cold air intake system.. Can be ordered from BeefCake on here. No other provides the same gains/Et gains.

Buy it for looks, not HP on the 5.0.

Glad WBT didn't find this thread...kind of worrisome the way his veins bulge out!

Sounds like your mad he has actually tested and gave real world results with no bs. No oh jlt/steeda/aem blah blah best ever. Something that we can really go by other then over inflated magazine articles and vendor hype.
