Aftermarket Air Intake...
Hi folks
Any info is appreciated. Looking for a new air intake for my 4.6L 3v. Don’t really want to have to plug in 92 octane as it is hard to get here N of Kingston.
So I feel a tune is NOT required. Any experience, comments appreciated.
Tx,
FrankieMachina

Frankie...modern Mustangs have a pretty well designed air intake system from the factory. A CAI that doesn't require a tune will be of little to no benefit (other than looks, and a bit of noise). If looks are what you want, go with what you like the look of. If you want a bit more power, a CAI that requires a tune will give the best results (I would suggest C&L). If you don't have a tuner yet, I would suggest starting there first, with an SCT tuner. You can get tunes for any octane level. That will make a much more noticeable difference in the feel of the car than a CAI alone will. Is your car automatic, or stick?
