CAI
so im thinking about buying a CAI is it really worth it in the 2010 GT
|
on a 2010, no. invest in good tunes. actual dyno tunes are best, Lito (support@tudyno.com) or something like that, is second best, then an email tune from anyone other than Bama. good luck.

OE Intake is a CAI, follow the path...
Just get a K&N, AFE, or Spectre drop in, and tune... When you open the hood, and see an air filter, it's pulling in engine compartlent air. That's called a Short Ram. CAIs pull air from outside the engine compartment. If you want a pretty intake, then pay $300+ for a Warm Air Intake... |
Thanks for the help!! |

In a word, no. At best you might gain 10hp when combined with a tune so I'd say just do a tune alone, or wait until you've performed other performance upgrades. |
My 2010 is stock with a CAI. It comes with all 2010 GT's I believe.
The filter itself can be an issue... I'm not sure I'd want an oiled one...but they do make high flow dry filters. |
All in all, a CAI just looks pretty... I just use a dry high-flow filter.
If you were to buy a CAI with a larger MAF, then you definitely need a tune, the car runs like crap without it. There are specific intakes that require tuning, and even those cause idling and other issues without a tune. That is why the tuners actually have K&N, Steeda, and other specific intake tunes. Mine is an OEM Air Box, with five 1.25" holes drilled in the front face of the lower portion of the box. I am using the K&N FIPK tune, and it works good. |
Any future plans for the car? If so what are they? Those questions and the answers are what will be the most important
|
So now you're pulling in warm air instead of cool air (Directed to 08"Mustang Dude)
