I was wondering if this CAI will fit in my 2010 mustang v6.

It says 2011 and up, but I was wondering if anybody knows if it would fit in a 2010.

If it doesn't fit, what would be a good CAI I could buy? I don't want a tune right now, I just want the CAI alone.

No. The 3.7 is different from the 4.0. I have a JLT and love it, but it requires a tune. Just putting on a CAI doesn't really give you much of a power increase. It's what the tuner does that makes it run the way we want.

Long and short of the matter. No it won't work. If you are buying a CAI, buy a good one and a tuner with it. Don't throw away your money. I did with a BBK CAI first. It fit nice, but didn't give me what I thought it should be. I put on a tune but still didn't like the output. I went to the JLT and reset the tune. What a difference. Night and Day. Hope that gives you an idea.

Okay thanks thats what I was thinking. I'd like to get one with a tune, but I'm just worried that it'll void my warranty, so I've been hesitant on doing that.

I was also thinking about getting a CAI with a tune. I was going to get BBK, SCT tuner combo pack on AM. But you mentioned that the BBK wasn't what you expected. Why did you like the JLT better? I think that JLT CAI requires a tune and BBK doesn't. is that main difference? sorry to hijack thread.

The BBK kept setting my CEL off. No matter what I did. Even when I tried a tune, it kept setting MAF codes. I have a couple new MAF sensors, so I tried others, with the same result. I decided to try the JLT, and knew it required a tune. I set it 89 octane performance tune, (same as I used with the BBK) damn thing ran great. I was impressed. I went back and switched back to the BBK (changed nothing else), and the CEL set in less than 2 miles. I took it back off (reinstalled the JLT), cleared the codes, drove a nice evening drive, and then checked the codes. Not a problem and the power curve was perfect for my set up. I just had no luck with the BBK, but great power with the JLT. That's why.

The custom tune is where the majority of the performance gain comes from. Get a CAI/tuner combo and you won't be dissapointed! The custom tune really wakes up the 4.0's!!

If you are worried about voiding the warranty, you can install a (non tune required) CAI, such as an Airaid CAI. With this particular CAI, you will have the option of driving with the stock tune or a custom tune. I highly recommend getting a custom tune, to fully utilize the CAI's capabilities. With an Airaid by itself (no custom tune), you will not feel much of a performance difference (3-5 HP). With an Airaid CAI, you will have the option of changing the custom tune back to stock tune, whenever needed and you WON'T have to re-install the stock airbox. Airaid is the company that sells their CAI's to Roush and Roush slaps their logo on it! I've never had any issues with my Airaid CAI and am very happy with it!
