Hey everyone. I've been considering a non-tune cai to replace my stock air box (V6), but then I read that it wouldn't make nearly as much a difference as one that does require a tune. Could I get the same effect from one that doesn't require a tune if I tune it anyways?
Increase horsepower and torque with our high velocity cold air intake for your 2005-09 4.0L V6 Mustang.
Steeda's high velocity cold air intake earns it's name due to the exclusive velocity stack design.
The radiused entry of the velocity stack design increases and straightens airflow into the mass air for greater power and a cleaner MAF signal.
With a clean MAF signal you get better driveability than other designs and makes it easier to tune resulting in better power and the best driveability possible.
Includes a serviceable lifetime dual cone air filter that can be cleaned and re-oiled, but the big news here is that we've streamlined the airflow in the V6 S197 Mustang to the point that a computer re-flash isn't just an option, it's required! Check out the SCT Xcalibrator 3 - the perfect tool for the job!
Steeda's intake is supplied with a stainless steel air box and CNC billet aluminum mass air meter. It mounts in the factory location with the supplied rubber trim to seal it against the hood & fender to keep the hot air isolated from the filter. Our tests showed inlet temps a mere 10 degrees above ambient temperature. The Steeda Lifetime Filter can easily be cleaned and re-oiled, making maintenance a snap. All hardware required for installation is included in the kit.
We've found between 16 -20 more rear wheel horsepower with this kit combined with the required SCT tune. Power you can feel!

Rule #1 NEVER argue with the Nuke. Hes probs forgotten more about these cars than most of us will ever know.
Secondly, comparing CAIs is kind of pointless. 5 HP is basically the margin of error on a dyno, so I dont trust those numbers

Ran a Tunable Inductions intake on my v6 for two years (then sold the car) and had excellent power gains. Among the top of all intakes for the v6.
I ran a tune and dynos showed ~20rwhp/rwtq gain for my 05 automatic .
