Review & Install Video

Hey Justin from AmericanMuscle.com here, taking a closer look at these very budget friendly intakes from SR Performance, available in black or polished fitting all 96-04 Mustang GTs. This kit completely replaces the power robbing factory airbox in your GT with everything you see here, including a reusable high flow intake filter, heat shield, lightweight aluminum 2 piece intake shield in that polished black finish, and all the couplers and hardware needed for the install. If you didn’t know, cooler, denser air results in more horsepower, so with that in mind, this intake puts the filter right in the fender well, allowing for maximum cool air, especially when paired with that heat shield, that should prevent any hot engine bay air from entering the intake. Ok so we all want to know just how much power this intake is going to make, but in order to do so we do need to grab a quick baseline run from our automatic 2000 GT behind me, and then get to work installing this SR Performance intake. Removing the stock airbox and installing the new SR Performance intake is a pretty straightforward task that should only take you about an hour using basic hand tools. Keep in mind you will need to transfer the mass air housing and sensor to the new intake, because the SR Performance intake does not come with either. Even though the SR Performance intake does not require a tune, we are going to upload one of our custom 93 octane Bama tunes, in hopes of seeing some sizeable gains with this setup. This tune is going to optimize our spark timing, perfect our air/fuel ratios, and as a result we should be looking at some drastically improved throttle response. And for our automatic here we’re looking for increased shift firmness, in addition to adjustable shift points. Alright, with our intake bolted up and our tune loaded, we’re going to fire up our GT one more time and see how we do. So our baseline run with our automatic 2000 GT gave us 222 horsepower, and 260 ft/lbs of torque. With our cold air intake and bama combination, we put down 249 horsepower and 295 ft/lbs of torque, making for a peak gain of 27 horsepower over our baseline numbers, and gains of 35 horsepower and 54 ft/lbs of torque throughout the curve. Not only do we pick up more horsepower and torque using this setup, but we also improved our under the hood appearance as well, so even though this intake doesn’t have a big brand name attached to it, it certainly held up its end of the bargain, and delivered some nice gains for a price that’s very hard to beat. So be sure to check out an SR Performance cold air intake for your 4.6 right here at AmericanMuscle.com

Improves Horsepower. This SR Performance Cold Air Intake kit completely replaces the factory air box and restrictive paper filter element in your 1996-2004 4.6 GT mustang with a high flow filter assembly for a noticeable increase in horsepower and throttle response while filtering out destructive power robbing dust particles. This CAI pulls cooler denser air from inside the inner fender well to make more power that you can feel.

Reusable Filter. Included in this kit is a High Flow reusable air filter. So no need to go out and buy a new filter every few thousand miles. Just clean the filter, re-oil it, save money, and go!

Polished Finish. A SR Performance Cold Air Intake not only improves horsepower and acceleration, but it also improves your Mustang's under hood appearance with a striking polished aluminum finish. Now you can have the best of both worlds, performance and style.

Simple Install. SR Performance Cold Air Intake kits are relatively easy to install with basic hand tools. No extra modifications are required for the installation. See the video on the installation tab for an overview of the installation process.

Application. This SR Performance Cold Air Intake is specifically designed for the 1996-2004 GT Mustangs equipped with the 4.6L V8 engine. It is not compatible with the 2001 Bullitt.

Please Note. The MAF housing and sensor is not included with the SR Performance Cold Air Intake.

Do I have to worry about sucking water? I live in an area that will get pretty good rainfalls at times and was curious if there was a need for concern about sucking up water with the filter location on this cold air intake.

I live in an area that gets a lot of rain, and I have never had a problem with this CAI. I've even driven through 3 foot floods to get to work (I would never recommend doing this to anyone), but I can assure you that rain does not affect this intake. It is inside the front of your wheel well, and won't be affected by water any more than a stock air filter would unless you drive through a flood. Have no concern
No. As long as your inner fender splash shield is intact, and the vehicle is not submerged above the filters location, you will have no problems with this product.
Kingfresh, do you do a lot of off roading? do you drive thru puddles fast? If the answer is no then highly unlikely you will ever experience hydrolock.
The air filter sits inside the fender, as long as you have splash shields on your car, it will actually be more protected there than if it sat in the stock location without a box due to water being able to enter the grille area. Only way you'll get water in is if you lose your front bumper or splash guards or have to drive through a lake. You wouldn't do that to your Mustang right? O.o I would hope not.
I have not had any problems with sucking up water.
You should have that wheel guard on your car still to prevent that. The intake will not go that low to suck up water.

fast idling Since installed I am experience a fast idler up to 2000rpm after depress the gas pedal then drop to normal, I still having to fix this out, can you guys help me on this. thank Jesus

Without knowing your vehicle and what other mods, assuming all was well when assembled etc, try cleaning your mass airflow sensor that can cause unusual idle. My favorite trick for idle problems to spray carb cleaner around vacuum lines and listen to the engine you will know you have a leak if the idle goes up a bit. Not a fix but it tells you where to start fixing. Honestly this is kind of a loaded question because there really is not enough info given in the question.
Make sure all the connections after your mass air meter are sealed up
Try gettin it tuned this helps out
without knowledge of previous mods i would say clean your MAF or get a tune.
Disconnect your battery for a minute. Then the computer should fix any tuning problems you may have. Worked great for me, same intake.

Looking To Purchase I'm looking at getting this a cold air intake but is it as good as a 180 dollar or 230 dollar cold air intake ? Also other have better mpg and others have better acceleration does this cold air intake have the same benefits ? Are the benefits as good as others ? Will the chrome rust ? how much more hp will it add to a stock 4.6L V8 ? Will I have to do any reprogramming ?

The cold air intake is made out of aluminum, it will not rust. They say it will get you 4 or so more horses. You don't need to do any programming. The price is right.
i have this same CAI and love it. its perfect for the money and it works well. you get that little sucking sound as you slowly press on the accelerator. gives me shivers as i think about it.
You dont have to do any reprograming, you will get a little more air in from the more exspensive CAI's because they have bigger Air filters and a bigger diameter of the pipe. This CAI added like 2 more mpg to my mustang and better acceleration. This CAI also added about 5-8 more hp. My mustang is mostly stock except for this CAI, 75mm Throttle body and Upper intake Plenum. You should get this CAI with a throttle body and a upper intake plenum to make use of the CAI. This cold air intake is great with a great price, highly reccomend and no need to waste money on more exspensive cai's cause they do the same thing.
I would unhook the battery while you did the install myself as like any computer they don't like hardware changes and if this thing really flows more CFM then the computer needs to know about it and would solve idle issues.

How do you clean and recharge filter and how often should this be done? Thanks! 1 answer

We do have a clean/recharge kit which will be linked below. As for when the filter needs to be cleaned is really dependant on how dirty it is. Some areas are dustier than others making the filter dirtier way faster.

As long as the filter is not fully emerged into water, the filter would not be affected and it would not affect the performance of your car overall.

One Star is Good considering!!!!

I received my item in a timely manner and it was packaged nicely. I had it installed by a master technician. And I was driving it, thought I rolled over a large cup out of nowhere. When actually it was my filter. I Had to run out on a busy road to try and salvage what I had left. It is smashed a bit but I had another technician put it on and the clamps that come with it keep sliding off. I emailed them 2 times and never received anything back. Except a 20 coupon to buy more stuff and the coupon doesn’t even work. Hopefully they send better clamps to people, respond to people’s concerns , and show some responsibility for the products they sell.

Great Value. No brainer over stock or solo filter.

This was less $$ than just a KandN filter replacement, so it was a no brainer. Paper filters are garbage. KandN filters are the best, but for the $, I picked up this CAI that made a noticeable difference. The ripples and corrugation in the stock rubber hose really do create a lot of negative air turbulence -- math proven to affect the motor.

Great for the price

The fit and finish of the CAI was better than I expected for such a low price. I can't really say anything for performance or sound because I was replacing a ratty aftermarket CAI that came on my car. I wouldn't have expected a ton of power, but it looks better in the engine back and at least the filter is in the fender.
