CAI Question
I am looking t purchase cold air intake for my car. I currently have a stick v6 mustang 2010, the standard base model. I havent done anything to my car and figured this would be a cheapish start. I found a BBK CAI for the 2010 mustang that costs $199. any words of advice would be nice.

I've read people experiencing issues with the BBK CAI. They were recieving engine code issues. If you get a CAI, you will also need to get a good custom tune from a reputable company, such as Brenspeed or American Muscle (Bama tunes). A stand alone CAI will only provide minimal performance gain, maybe (3-5) HP and is barely felt. However, once you add a custom tune the performance gain can range from (15 - 20) HP. I would recommend a custom tune or a combo package, which includes the CAI/tune. Good luck!

I've got the JLT that i put on a week ago and i'm loving it. really notice the throttle response and a nice sound from the engine. I was already running a 93 octane race tune with it before, and this CAI enhanced it a noticeable ammount. Pretty easy to install too.

A no-tune required CAI is for looks only; no power gain beyond maybe 3-5 RWHP, tops. Add a custom tune and you're talking about 12-18 RWHP on the 4.0. A tune required CAI with a good tune will up that maybe a few more HP.
The issue with the no-tune-required CAI's is that they may still throw a code for running lean on some cars which can eventually cause damage.

If you want no tune now and upgrade to a tune later,
get an AIRAID CAI with MVT. The plug stays in without
a tune and the plug is removed with a tune.
Best of both worlds.

BTW, where did you get your "Mustand"?
