Unless you drive through a lake I think everything in the winter is good and it can literally be a "cold air intake"

Actually, our Stangs run a hell of a lot stronger in cooler weather than the heat of the summer. So, why are you expressing concern?

Yea only concern is if your running a HAI (Hot Air Intake) during the winter time. But you should be good.












oh hai!

as Nuke said, you should actually feel an improvement in your car during these colder months. I know my car is pulling a heck of alot stronger right now and I'm lovin it!
