C&L Cold Air Intake with 83mm MAF (05-09 Mustang V6)

Video Review & Installation

Hey, Mike Wilson here from AmericanMuscle.com, today we’re going to show you the C&L cold air intake kit for the 2005-2009 Mustang V6 and what you can expect with it when you combine it with a 93 octane bama race tune. But before we do that, we’re going to make a stock dyno run on the car so we can see what our baseline horse power and torque numbers are. Stock, our 2005 V6 automatic put down 172 horse power and 196 ft/lbs of torque. By removing the factory restrictive airbox and replacing with a high flow reusable air filter, and a cast aluminium intake tube, the C&L cold air intake kit will increase horse power, torque, acceleration, and give you a nice throaty engine sound. And the shiny ceramic appearance will enhance the under hood appearance of your Mustang. Now we’re going to install this cold air intake, which should take less than an hour, and can be done with simple hand tools you have at home. Along with the cold air intake, we also installed one of our 94 octane bama race tunes. A custom tune from bama performance adjusts engine parameters to maximize performance through optimized air/fuel ratio, spark advance, enhanced throttle response, and for automatics, increased shift firmness and adjustable shift points. Now let’s make another dyno run, and see what kind of horse power and torque numbers we get. We installed the C&L cold air intake kit along with a bama performance tune, and the car put down 191 horse power, and 222 ft/lbs of torque, while gaining as much as 26 horse power, and 34 ft/lbs of torque throughout the curve. We installed the C&L cold air intake kit along with a bama performance tune using simple hand tools in under an hour’s time, and picked up 26 horse power, and 34 ft/lbs of torque.
