Review & Installation Video

Hey, Justin here with AmericanMuscle.com, and this is my brief look into the SR Performance cold air intake kit fitting the 3.6 and 3.9L motor found in all 99-04 V6 Mustangs. This budget friendly intake sports a very popular design when it comes to the Ne

Improves Horsepower. This SR Performance V6 Mustang Cold Air Intake kit completely replaces the restrictive factory air box and paper filter element in your 1999-2004 3.8L and 3.9L V6 Mustang with a high flow filter assembly for a noticeable increase in horsepower and throttle response while filtering out harmful power robbing dust particles. This V6 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 SR Performance High Flow reusable air filter. So there is 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!

Powder Coated Finish. The SR Performance Cold Air Intake will not only improve horsepower and acceleration, but it will also improve your Mustang's under hood appearance with a flat black powder coated finish. Now you can have the best of both worlds - performance and style.

Simple Install. The SR Performance Cold Air Intake is relatively easy to install with only basic hand tools needed. No extra modifications are required for the installation. See the video below for an overview of the installation process.

Application. The SR Performance Cold Air Intake is designed to fit the 1999-2004 3.8L and 3.9L V6 Mustangs.

Technical Note. The Mass Airflow Housing and Sensor are not included. This kit is designed to reuse the factory unit.

Questions & Answers (42)

5 Top Rated Questions

Do I have to tune a new air intake? Or is it just recommended?

This SR CAI does not require a tune for installation. However, with any Cold Air Intake, it's recommended to get a custom tune as it will give you maximum performance from the upgrade. Hope this helps!
It didn't have to with mine. No check engine light came on.
It not required like the 05-13 models, but you can tune it later on if you want to for more horsepower

I see the other SR performance intake is made of aluminum with a chrome finish. Is this one aluminum with the black finish, or is it plastic? Of course my concern here is the temperature difference.

The SR Performance Black Cold Air Intake (99-04 V6) will be a plastic construction.

How much HP does it add if you don’t use the tuner

With the SR cold air intake, you'll see roughly 5-10 HP and TQ without a tune.

How much hp would I expect combined with bama tuner and catted x pipe

Hello! SR Performance reports an increase of 14 HP and 15 TQ. Unfortunately for an accurate assessment of how much power you would gain with the x pipe, we would need to know which one you were interested in.

Can you connect the vacuum line to the hole where the ait goes in on a 2004 mustang? 1 answer

The vacuum line will connect to the port on the intake tube by the throttle body connection.

Do you have to cover up the middle hole where the ait sensor usually goes If your mustang has the ait sensor inside of the air mass airflow ? 0 answer

Because I have a 2001 V6, the IAT sensor is part of the MAF sensor there is a hole where IAT sensor would go for older models. Is there a chance that I can get a plug for it or is there a way to plug it? Also there is a whistle as I accelerate and during idle you can hear a thump as if the suction is pulling the the filter then popping out. 0 answer

We do not recommend using a velocity stack for this intake.

decent CAI but not shipping

Don't trust the free two day shipping advertised for this product. It wasn't shipping 2 day but was shipped standard ground shipping. So don't expect it fast. Once installed this looks good and has a nice sound, but no noticeable power increase. Its a nice part to improve the look of your engine bay but thats about it.

Parts do NOT fit properly

Provided rubber sleeve does NOT fit over MAF. What should be a super easy install is way more frustrating. Poor design. Look for another product.

Good mod for the money

Definitely dresses up under the hood and you see a small performance gain. It feels like its made of nice sturdy material and everything fits tigjt and where it is supposed to. Might take a little bit to get all the couplers on because they are so tigjt but id rather them tight then loose. For the price its definitely a solid choice and gives you just a tad bit more growl.

did not fit.

The length of the intake was too long to fit in the car. In addition, the hose connectors did not fit on the tubes. I had to go and buy a different connector. However, after I got it all to fit, it worked amazing and sounds great too!

Works and sounds great, didn't quite fit

Majority of the CAI was easy to put on. Makes a nice whistling around 3-4,000 RPMs. Although, had to get creative to get the desired angle with the throttle body, as it scraped up against part of the mustang. Took a little long to install due to that, but very nice.

if your on a budget with a none powerful motor its great makes the v6 a bit quicker not faster... the fit you have to angle it a lot and the tube will get scraped also you have to buy a couple of plugs and pieces due to the oe vacuum hose doesn't fit

2004 Installation Challenge

I read some of the previous mixed reviews for this product and decided to take a chance. There is no way it would fit without modification. After following the directions and struggling with it for about an hour, I decided to cut 2 inches off the tube between the motor and the mass air flow piece. It still took me about 30 minutes to complete the install after shortening the pipe because it was such a tight fit. After these efforts everything seems to be good. This is not a project for a beginner.

Great Item. Horrible install.

I have a 1999 v6. At first i was extremely dissappointed when it was apparent that there was no way the throttle body could marry the unit for assembly. I was very frustrated since I spent 3 hours fitting the rubbers with pipes. Very sore finger and hands. I did not give up. I made it fit. It was hard. Since I forced it to fit, I sacrificied the mount to the side panel cuz it was impossible to fit with that hardware. I used old shoelaces to tie it up in the mean time, yes, shoelaces. After a week, a buddy helped me cut off some pipe, weld it back, and got rid of the shoelaces. Regarding the item, the first thing I noticed upon start up is the sound. I detected some notes specific to the v8 I adore, a sort of howl if you will. Note: no cats and resonator instead of muffler. Upon applying gas: definitely more volume and revs up quicker without any lag that I used to have. I have yet to confirm if mpg efficiency increased but definitely feel the gas pedal response instantly now. I have yet to hear the turbo like whistle many claim to have. If it is evident in WOT, I have yet to try out WOT. I applied a bit of KN filter oiler since it wasnt specified if it came oiled up. Dont want my 20 year old engine sucking up extra particles. Oh yea forgot one detail, the vaccum line is too short. I cut off a garden house in the mean time. Feels great having this thing in your car. Beware it is an installation nightmare (1999 v6). I give the item 1 star cause AM should do a better job with the fitment statements. Now I simply wont trust their statements from the beginning and might even search elsewhere for other brands.

Quality product for a great price -

Overall this SR performance cold air intake is a great product for a great price and cleans up the engine compartment significantly, but the installation was very tight against the throttle body and shock tower. The intake air suction can now be heard from the passenger front fender giving the car a more modified sound. It makes a high-velocity woosh/whistle sound at 1/4 throttle.

Good value

Had to replace rubber coupler - would not fit over maf sensor housing. Also, hose from valve cover vent was too small. Other than those issues, unit appears well made and works great. Great deal compared to a more expensive CAI.
