High Velocity Cold Air Intake w/ Dual Cone Filter

The Steeda High Velocity Cold Air Intake is engineered to boost horsepower and torque in 2005-2009 4.0L V6 Mustangs. Its unique velocity stack design, featuring a radiused entry, streamlines airflow directly into the mass air meter. This results in increased power output and a cleaner MAF signal, leading to better drivability and optimized tuning potential. The system is constructed with a durable stainless steel air box and a CNC billet aluminum mass air meter, ensuring longevity and performance. Installation involves mounting the intake in the factory location, with supplied rubber trim to seal the air box against the hood and fender, effectively isolating the filter from hot engine bay air. Steeda's testing indicates inlet air temperatures remain only 10 degrees above ambient, significantly outperforming the stock air box's tendency to get heat soaked. The kit comes complete with all necessary hardware for installation and includes a lifetime, serviceable dual cone air filter that can be cleaned and re-oiled. A critical aspect of this intake system is the requirement for a computer re-flash. The manufacturer explicitly states that a tune is not optional but required, recommending the SCT X4 tuner as the ideal tool for the job. Gains of 16-20 rear wheel horsepower have been reported when this kit is combined with the necessary SCT tune, providing a noticeable increase in power you can feel.

Installation on vehicles driven on public roads may violate U.S. and Canadian laws and regulations regarding emissions and safety.
