Got to be the easiest mod to put on for HP gain.

As far as the warranty issue you'll be ok just as long as the mod you put on didn't cause the problem. Don't you think the dealers see enough modded mustangs??

Very easy. My Steeda CAI and tune, using an XCalibrator, took about 30 min. You don't even have to reach far under the hood.

Does a CAI without a tune cause warranty issues too?

if you take the CAI off and put the stock tune back they only know the car was reflashed. And that can happen by pulling the battery cable anyways so there is nothing to be concerned about by the un-mod.

Bro, thanks for the post and thanks for the replies (esp. Britinastang), you have given me the confidence to make this mod! I have zero mechanical skillz, I don't even know what a torx is. Last time I tried to change a light bulb in my house, the bulb broke in the socket, then the fixture broke from the base. This is why I don't try to fix anything!!! Now that I own my Mustang, I just have this urge to mod it, w/o screwing it up. The latter being the key point.

I just have to figure out which CAI to go with, then when it's done, I'll post the results. I have a strange feeling if this goes well, there may be no stopping.
