Following up AIRAID’s successful MXP Series Cold Air Intakes for late-model Mustangs, AIRAID now offers new Race-Style Cold Air Dam Intake Systems for the 2015 5.0L GT and the 2.3L EcoBoost. These new race-style intake systems deliver what racers demand: maximum unrestricted airflow to the engine. Though these new systems will work with the factory tuning, they are designed to support the additional airflow requirements of other performance modifications.
The new Race-Style intakes start with Cold Air Dam Panels that take the place of the factory intake box. These panels keep the filter isolated from hot engine compartment air while providing a large forward- facing area to draw in cool outside air. Blade-style weatherstripping positioned along the top of the panels seals against the hood to further isolate the filter from hot underhood air. The system includes a large Track Day oiled filter, which is capable of flowing over 1300 cfm.
New application-specific intake tubes connect the Cold Air Dam assembly to the throttle body on the engine. Designed to maximize airflow and eliminate restrictions, the 5.0L GT intake tube measures 4” in diameter at the throttle body to accommodate an aftermarket throttle body, and also has a specially formed venturi to ensure accurate MAF sensor readings. The 2.3L EcoBoost intake tube has a large 3.5” diameter opening at the turbo inlet to support turbo modifications.
Because of the exposed open-element design of the Cold Air Dam panels, AIRAID recommends this intake only be used in controlled dry track conditions, and strongly recommends the use of a pre-filter if used in wet environments. Also note that the Race-Style intakes delete the sound tube feature; block off caps are included for both the firewall and the intake tube. Like the rest of AIRAID’s product line, these new kits are proudly Made in USA. Like other AIRAID products, these new intake systems are backed by an exclusive “No Hassle” warranty |
