Its not bull...MMR makes a decent CAI but you need/have to have a tuner so you might as well be smart and just by the CAI/tuner combo from brenspeed or B ama or VMP or EVO. end of discussion.

My friend has the MMR on his but his utlizes the stock tube but his was tuned on a dyno specifically for his car. You need a tune so might as well buy a complete kit. I got the JLT from B AMA.and Im real happy with it.

Its important to understand that these cars will not increase fuel when they get increased air. Instead they'll stutter because they're programmed fuel amounts are not enough for the extra air.
So yes, there are some CAI for this mustang that do not need tuners, but its because they don't give anymore air than stock. These cars aren't like the previous generation of cars, like a Civic and Eclipse I owned around 2000-2001, where it would sense more air and adjust the fuel. The mustang's complex computer doesn't fart around like that. Its programmed to safely perform at a consistent rate for the engine.
(That being said... I think all CAIs are pointless. You need a tuner and tune, a stock airbox works fine. Just get that darn tuner!)

there still biased, get a tune combo or just throw a high flow filter in the stock box, even with the tune, a majority is just from the tune
