Default Intakes

Hey everyone..quick question about intakes.

My friend has a 2002 V6 Steeda Mustang with a BBK intake and BBK throttle body plus a spacer, and I love the sound of the intake as he accelerates, even when he stays under 2500 RPM.I am lookin into buying an intake for my 2008 V6 Mustang and was wondering if anyone had a good intake that made a nice whistle and had a nice sound. I saw BBK released one for the 2005-2008 models and was just curious about them, plus they work without a tune (something I dont think I want to mess with). I am curious as to which intakes will satisfy what I am looking for. Any help is appreciated guys! Thanks!

you purchase a programmer/tuner, load whichever tune you choose (with appropriate fuel in gas tank), drive and enjoy.

if you need to take your car into dealership for warranty work, load the stock factory tune BACK into your car using the programmer (the factory tune gets backed up and saved in the programmer before you load a performance tune for the first time). after restoring factory tune back in, your car is ready to be worked on.

I don't reflash for the dealer. I tell the service manager not to f**k with the computer. They don't. Feel your dealer out a little bit. CAI's stick out like a soar thumb.
