  Works great !

  Took about an hour. I had to find a couple nuts and bolts but it wasn't hard. No instructions but I used the Stack Racing online PDF to do it as this is a clone of one of their products.

  Not exactly as advertised...

  Worked fine at first but later (less than a month) gas economy went way down and I could smell gas while running. Found out ( at Ford dealership)that this needs a chip reprogram despite what is advertised. I am sure it would be fine with a re-program. It is no longer installed.

  V6 Intake

  I liked the item, looks great under the hood. It was quite easy to install, no real issues except that the assembly was missing a single screw, but thats not a big deal. The improvement was felt almost immediately, can't wait to see how it performs with the tuner.

  awesome!

  quick and easy to install even though it does not have instructions, stock bolts/clamps work if the need be. 0-60/100 is way faster with this on and the reusable filter is a cool idea

  Get ready for lots of problems

  This is not a very good product. Why..?? 1) No instructions at all. 2) Shield is not formed properly. I had to re-bend to get it to stop rubbing on the lines net to it. 3) The info. on AM says Tune not required. NOT TRUE. After the install my Mustang threw 7 DTC codes. The most important Lean on Bank 1 and Lean on Bank 4. So a tune IS required. 4) After the install and a short drive, I returned home and discovered the rubber mount provided to connect the snorkel end to the heat shield has busted in half. If you expect to buy and install this piece with little issues your kidding yourself. NOT RECOMMENDED.

  BEST BANG FOR $$$

  This intake looks great and performs very well. The install was fairly easy as long as you have basic mechanics/tools. Everything bolted up fine and didn't run into any issues. If you were to ask me, id buy it again in a heart beat for a great value! Thanks from a happy AM customer.

  Great CAI for the price!!

  This cold air intake is one of the cheapest I've seen and for the money, the performance gains are definitely worth it! I could instantly feel the difference in throttle response and a throatier exhaust. The installation took me about an hour, I probably could have done it faster if I knew what I was doing but overall installing it was pretty easy. The only thing is, the air filter is a bit small so I bought a larger filter at the auto shop and the performance gains were even more noticeable. Great product for the price!!

  WORTHLESS

  I bought this because it was so cheap and it claimed to not require a tune. However, my check engine light immediately began to throw lean codes. I would of bought one of the more expensive CAI with the combined package with a BAMA Tuner had I known I would have to buy a tuner anyway. Now I am going to have to buy another CAI because it has been passed 30 days since I bought the thing. I just never got around to putting it on. Very frustrating way to blow $100.

  Mustang Cold Air Intake V6

  You could feel the power difference almost immediately, but of course you will feel more if you buy the tuner. It was quite easy to install, except that there was one nut missing from the set. But other than that, the product was great!

  Great bang for your buck

  This product is great for the money you spend for it. It was extremely easy to install. Only took about 35 min or so. It does add a pretty decent amount of gain and power to your stang. I enjoy it.

  SR Performance Cold Air Intake (05-09 V6)

  I bought this Intake In mid April this year and I Installed it in my auto class in high school. The install was very easy and direct. When unboxing the intake the intake came all polished great and looking great for such a affordable price. When installing the intake I also added on a throttle body spacer along with it. The intake was running amazing for the the price, it looked great under the hood with the little bit of power gains to notice behind the wheel. Now just yesterday my mechanic wrench comes on in my car saying something was wrong then my engine light came on so I took it to the mechanic shop I always take it to sense there trustworthy and had them diagnose my mustang. It ended up was throwing codes for my MAF sensor because I'm running lean now cause its not getting correct air flow. It was not a bad buy but I will be having to invest into a tuner now even though it says you can use your original MAF sensor.

  do not buy

  While the item is easy to install and looks very nice, after only a few miles my check engine light came on. I checked and everything was connected properly and secure. Also, the performance gain is hardly noticeable if at all. Very disappointed with this purchase only bad thing I bought from AM.

  Great Product

  This was very easy to install. Gave the car a little more power, a nicer sound when reving the engine, and i think it is helping gas mileage a little bit.

  Its cheap no frills

  If you want a cheap cold air intake then look no further! I have to say, you really won't go wrong if you just want the look and sound of a cold air intake, however...no instructions included, it feels as cheap as it is, throws codes immediately (this needs a tune, don't kid yourself) and just generally doesn't seem super high quality, then again, it doesn't have to be so as far as its concerned, if you want to get a cold air intake and tune, get this intake so you can save for the tuner. Seriously though THIS NEEDS A TUNE.

  Decent intake but needs tuning

  While it was fairly easy to install. I bought this cold air intake hoping I could attach it to my V-6 mustang without the tuner. But unfortunately the check engine light has come on and the only way to fix it, is to either re-install the stock air-box or buy the tuner. Save your cash and buy a tuner with this or any cold air intake.

  Saw no gains whatsoever

  Installation was a breeze but the heat shield is rather flimsy and moved a lot. I saw no performance or gas mileage gains but rather the opposite. The intake was much warmer after driving than my stock one. I switched back to stock.

  Straight forward review

  Bought this mainly because it was cheaper than the other CAI listed on this site. It is my first major modification to my car under the hood and found that the installation was fairly straight forward. I used the directions on the site as a reference but the directions are fairly simple to follow. My only problem lied in the fact that the directions assumed I had two bolts securing my old intake box when my model only utilized one so I had to hunt for a supplementary bolt and clip to secure the heat shield. Once the difficultly of securing the heat shield properly had passed I breezed through the rest of the installation. I was worried I would get a check engine light since I had read on other reviews that is a common problem but I had no problems once the installation was completed. Starting the car I noticed a slight difference in sound but the real change was in throttle response, the new CAI addition greatly decreased the throttle response time without a tuner, my vehicle accelerates quite a bit faster now with this modification. I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking to make a fairly simple modification to their mustang under the hood, it will certainly make you feel like you know your car a bit better.

  Cold Air Intake

  This part is pretty fun, fits perfectly onto the car and easy to install. Was missing a bolt but thats pretty easy to find. It looks great under the hood, and does add enough power to notice a slight difference. Overall a great part, has a nice sound during acceleration and paired with exhaust makes the car just sound a little deeper in general.
