^I know thats one of the first things I think of when I look at them, I want a sound tube too!

The did a tech article on the MM&FF website. When they added the 95mm maf CAI to the car it only picked up like 5hp. They told them OH wait, you will want the new 101mm maf model to get the advertised gains

.

I think they went from 262 to 309whp with CAI, delete plates, pulleys, electric water pump, and exhaust. A supercharger is still the only way to get respectable power....

I have a sound tube. It's called Kooks headers into boomtubes! LOL! That's enough sound for several cars.

who needs a sound tube when you got a pair of boomtubes!

C&L's explanation:

Another piece of marketing that has caused a lot of confusion has to do with comparisons between the new 2010 air intake and the "Bullitt" assembly that was used on the special edition "Bullitt" Mustang and what Ford now sells as the "FRPP" upgrade for 2005-2009 models. Many individuals were led to believe that 2010 GT's were to be outfitted with the same assembly as the FRPP/Bullitt package. The 2010 air intake shares nothing in common with the "Bullitt" assembly, and although it DOES flow substantially better than the factory 2005-2009 intake assembly, it still flows a little less than the "FRPP/Bullitt" assembly (800 CFM versus 835 CFM).

The increase in airflow capacity is the result of a revised airflow path, which is substantially different than the previous 2005-2009 models. In order to accomplish this, Ford re-configured the engine compartment by re-locating the power steering fluid container from behind the radiator over to the front of the driver's side valve cover. This allowed the air path from the filter to the throttle body to take a much longer flowing path with a more gradual bend. The factory mass airflow diameter was also increased by 5mm as well. These changes allowed our aftermarket replacement, even one that does not require tuning, to flow better than our highest flowing "Racer" assembly that was developed for the 2006-2009 models, which is widely regarded highest performing (and best flowing) intake available for those vehicles.

So "theoretically", we could get the power steering reservoir relocator from the 10's, install the new CAI and get those MASSIVE gains like the 2010's

.

Personally...I'm saving for my supercharger. I'm tired of playing the 5hp here, 10hp there game...

47 to be exact. Maybe I'm being a bit generous but it's possible:

CAI & tune ~ 25 RWHP
delete plates ~ 5 RWHP
UDP's ~ 5 RWHP
Elec wtr pmp ~ 5 RWHP
Exhaust ~ 0 RWHP

~ 40 RWHP

Rubrignitz · 10-16-2009, 04:37 PM

Yeah...all (well most) of the power increase came fromtune/intake/exhaust. The pulleys, delete plates and electric water pump combined picked up <10whp. That's why I don't have pulleys, delete plates or water pump in my sig.

Save that $500

What exhaust mods were there? I think I missed that. I assumed axlebacks...
