Don't be. American Muscle recently acquired BamaChips, who was tuning for these cars for years. They also employ Chris Rose, who is considered one of the better tuners around. Buying directly from the CAI manufacturer will yield a tune that is "canned", with less power, and I'd even go so far as to say, not as safe for the car. If you're going to buy ANY package from anyone other than AM or Brenspeed, at least do the Ford Racing package, but understand that you're going to pay more money for probably 30%+ less power and performance.

Plus if you get it from AM, you can get a combo package and save couple bucks. If you PM one of the guys from AM on the boards too, they usually will give you a discount code good up to 6% off...

I've spent thousands in dollars of stuff from AM and never had an issue. One item arrived damaged, I called them, they shipped another out the same day before I even mailed the original back to them. That's some service....

Agree that American Muscle has AAA first class service. I try and buy from them and Brenspeed exclusively...

Thanks for all of the kind feedback, everyone! It's nice to know people are enjoying the products!

MAC intakes, we do not program for. I really do not support MAC cold air induction for 05+ vehicles. They're not TERRIBLE for 04-down, but on 05 and up, you're better off with a stock air box!

Wow. That was probably the most idiotic thing I've done, publicly. LOL

Yes, you will need to run a virtual windows setup or borrow a buddies PC in order to load the tunes in. Sorry!
