Airaid 2005-2009 Ford Mustang Cold Air Intake System CAI p/n: 450-172

To meet the technological challenges associated with today’s complicated engine management systems, including the one found on the new Mustang, AIRAID has developed an all-new intake system that delivers more horsepower and torque, along with a deep throaty sound, WITHOUT the need for an aftermarket computer programmer.

The Airaid Intake System for 2005-2009 Mustang 4.6L V8 Cars fits:

AIRAID’s hot, new intake system for the 2005-2009 Mustang 4.6L V-8 (p/n 450-172) is actually two intake systems in one. AIRAID’s newest Cool Air Dam intake utilizes Modular Venturi Technology to generate an additional 17 horsepower and 21 lb/ft of torque while maintaining proper air and fuel ratios across the entire RPM range. The system boasts a 4-inch = 101mm roto-molded intake tube, larger than any other intake on the market for a BEEFY look, that is mated to a lightweight composite Cool Air Dam.What makes AIRAID’s system different from the rest is the Modular Venturi Tube. The MVT is what maintains proper air/fuel ratios with the stock electronic tuning. But in order to take advantage of such serious performance bolt on such as high-lift camshafts, big-port cylinder heads, headers and other high-performance parts, the MVT can be removed for even more horsepower and torque gains when customer-supplied custom electronic tuning is installed (Diablo Predator p/n U7140 and p/n U7145 include the custom Airaid tunes required when the MVT is removed). This gives serious Mustang performance enthusiasts the ability to retain the AIRAID intake as they add serious performance upgrades to the car without worrying about the need to upgrade the air intake for added air flow.

Unlike many other intake systems that are on the market today, AIRAID’s new 2005-2009 Mustang 4.6L V-8 intake system makes great horsepower and torque WITHOUT the need for aftermarket tuning. AIRAID’s Modular Venturi Technology is the secret and the claims are easily backed up on the dyno in fact, the 2005 Mustang GT used for this install generated an additional 17 rear-wheel horsepower and 21 lb/ft of torque with the factory programming, Modular Venturi Tube installed, and original exhaust system. Expect even greater gains with MVT Tube removed and optional pre-installed DiabloSport Performance tune made for the Airaid Intake System..

The heart of the new Mustang air intake system is an AIRAID Premium SynthaFlow™ high-flow air filter which is isolated from engine heat by a computer-designed Cool Air Dam. SynthaFlow™ is a synthetic fiber material that traps the smallest dirt particles that ordinary cotton-gauze “performance” filters can’t capture without inhibiting air flow. That translates into improved air flow over stock and dramatically improved throttle response and power. As is the case with all AIRAID products, the 2005-2009 Mustang Intake System comes with our No Hassle Warranty.

AIRAID Premium Filters are constructed using the finest materials available today. All AIRAID Premium Filters utilize a urethane body that won’t crack or curl like our competitors’ rubber units. Filtration is second to none with the combination of our proprietary SynthaFlow and multiple cotton gauze layers. All AIRAID Premium Filters are 100% reusable and feature a Lifetime Guarantee.

We test to SAE standard J726, the method for testing fractional efficiency of a filter. We could say that we capture 99.997 percent of particles of 10 microns and larger, most air filters, capture the full range of particulates, even down to 2 microns. Our filters are so efficient that we test all the way down to 0.3 microns. At 2 microns, our filters capture almost twice the percentage of particulates that our competitors do, and more than 6 times the amount at 0.5 microns.

AIRAID’s new Mustang Air Intake System comes complete with all the necessary mounting hardware and complete, detailed instructions for easy installation. The install can be accomplished by the average driveway mechanic in about an hour. The following photos highlight a typical installation. If you’re a 4.6L V8 Mustang owner looking to unleash the hidden horsepower and torque that is sitting under the hood of your car, without the use of aftermarket programmers, then AIRAID’s new 4.6L V8 Mustang intake system is worth checking out.
