Excellent quality, tight fit

The quality of the parts is excellent. Connecting the hose and adapter to the throttle body requires some patience. The rubber adapter is very tight. I took a commenter's idea of putting it on the throttle body first and then installing the pipe, but then the pipe didn't fit between the adapter and the airbox. I had to loosen the airbox to finally install it. Once installed, it is clear that the engine gets more air and roars nicely. Note that this amplifies the normal resonance at 2500 rpm…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Complete headache for spare parts

Goods were shipped on time which is very gratifying. Sounds pretty good in my car and seems to be working fine. The problem was that the installation was a complete nightmare. I have installed two air intakes on two other cars in the past so at least I have some experience but this one was really difficult for me. I installed it on my 2012 Ford Mustang. None of the parts seemed to want to fit together that well, couldn't hold them together, the hoses didn't want to stay connected well and ended

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Will be added later

Save money for real performance improvements

I bought the hype and installed this on my wife's car and all I got was a noise generator. There was absolutely no improvement in performance or fuel economy. I later added a tuner and there was a noticeable improvement, but my wife got tired of the noise from that thing so I removed it. Imagine my surprise when performance didn't drop off and fuel economy even increased by about 1mpg in the first hundred miles. Do your research, as I should have, and you'll find that virtually all CAIs do…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Compatibility

Instant Power Boost

Finally bought this for my 2014 Mustang V-6. At the moment the mileage is only 1100 km. The instructions are pretty clear, removing the old airbox is very easy. There were a few tricks to reinstalling. It's a good thing you're reusing the old rubber bushings on the airbox. If you can't fit that into the box with the screw, do it from the opposite side, you can't remember to put the top or bottom into the new box, it will be squeezed through the hole. I've read that some have trimmed the box to…

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Empty

Wake up your V6 with spares

I bought a valance CAI for my previous car and was happy with it although I had to make some personal modifications to get the tone and performance I wanted , to eliminate a very annoying roar around 2800 rpm. Then I bought a 2014 Mustang V6 and decided on another CAI and after some research I decided to try this Airaid. - Step by step instructions. This box went MUCH easier than the old valance and fitted perfectly. The only tricky part was fitting the rubber hose very snugly to the throttle…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
