I had the Steeda CAI installed with a dyno tune. Has anyone installed the new Inlet Elbow that Steeda has come out with for their CAI's. They say no re-tune is necessary with it and it makes 8 more hp/tq to the rw's. Thanks for any replies.

Looks remarkably like the C&L Racer intake tube.

I will be installing the new elbow this weekend. Even though they advertise no re-tune; would you get a dyno just to be safe and see if levels changed or adjustments are needed. thanks

I have had it for about two weeks now. I didn't need to retune, not sure about the 8 extra horses though. I couldn't tell if there was a difference

I've also had mine for a few weeks. I could feel a slight differeence, maybe. Whatever it adds, it's not 8 HP.

Here's a article most people have read on Cold Air Kits. This is copied from the section on the intake from Modular Mustang Racing. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...ke/index2.html

"The folks from Modular Mustang Racing offered a study within itself. Besides giving us a look at what MMR has to offer the '05 Mustang cold-air shopper, we also got a chance to compare the gains from an inlet pipe from the throttle body to the mass air. This is possible because MMR offers two systems--a base kit that consists of a new mass air housing and washable air filter, and the High-Flow kit that's the same plus a 4-inch inlet tube from the mass air to the throttle body. That inlet tube is available in red, black, or silver."

"...The full-length kit [with elbow] offered a 3.1-rwhp and 2.9-rwtq gain, and Ken recorded some large increases in airflow over the mass air..."

I wouldn't be surprised if the Steeda part gives about the same increase in HP.

No check engine lights or problems so far.

I also posted this question on the SCT forum, not much of a response:
