I just picked up a 2014 5.0 mustang and was curious what Cold Air Intake you guys are running on your 5.0 any pro and con, what brand your running.

Non stock one is good enough if you have fog lights in the grill delete those to free up air coming in!

Steeda
Pros - seems to be great quality and looks good IMO. Works as advertised.
Cons - expensive...it think it's one of the more expensive kits.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I looked at the Steeda Cold air intake looks like it needs a tune after install, But the numbers increase looks really good.

Read up on it you'll see that most of the gains come from the tune itself and not the cai

Don't upgrade the Cai, without the tune. Otherwise you'll waste your money.

Get a tune, skip the CAI, and put an offroad x, long tubes and axle back on it and put down ~400rwhp

Thanks for the advice fellas I'm new to the computer controlled performance world. I will go for the exhaust and tune for a better bang for the buck. Will Longtube headers fail on smog though?

Yes I think the first time you have to smog new cars is 6 or 7 years later.

Yep 6 years of no smog from the first year the car was sold (this is why there is an extra smog abatement fee on new cars registration). But check, its from the date the car was first sold as "new". In my case late 2012 so I am up late 2018. [ 2015-11-18, 01:07 PM: Message edited by: CoyoteMike ]
