Cold air intake
 

Does anyone have any suggestions for the cold air intake that suits best for 2011 GT ? It is my first Mustang car that I own and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Steeda,JLT and then the rest :)

The Steeda one is the most expensive, but I think it looks the best and appears to be well made. So that's the one that I personally will be going with soon. Between CAI's, though, none seem to have a significant advantage power wise.

Definitely going with Steeda once someone starts writing Boss tunes, I think that Track Key project has fizzled out like a bad fart. Steeda looks the cleanest to me and I had one on my 08 GT so I have faith in thier product.

Steeda, JLT, C&L, Airaid.....they are all good intakes. Just pick they one you think looks best! I personally like the painted (body color) JLT the best, so I went with that, but they all make about the same power.

This thread might be worth a look. Unbiased post by Steeda themselves. Steeda looks to be the most consistent, but they're all about the same. Like he said in the post, the JLT has a bit of loss down low but that's due to it's massive size.

I'm torn between the Steeda and JLT myself. I have a JLT on my '01 GT and it's sick to say the least.

I agree, Steeda looks like a better quality. Does anybody have experience with K&N CAI ? I called them and they said they are working on one now. Again I appreciate all your help.

The above mentioned kits are all good.

The most important part is that you choose a good tuner. Go with a known and reputable tuner, not some hack tuner. Going with a known and reputable one mitigates the risk that you would get a bad tune.

Tuner
 

Ford racing offers a tuner and k&n drop filter that produces 65lb torque at 1500 rpm and about 16hp peak. Have you or anybody you know used this tuner?

Ford Racing tune, probably legit. But personally, I'm planning on going with a Bama tune from American Muscle. More power, free tunes for life, and from what I've seen, great customer service. They will also warranty any #8 piston issues that may be caused by the tune, an occurrence that has happened a few times with inferior tunes.
