I learned something new thank you Alex this is why I’m subscribed ! ! & I don’t even own a coyote car(yet) !

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Alex thanks as always. Big thumbs up what I have learned with my 18 Whipple is not to stomp it when IAT's are high. I have the stock Whipple CAI open system. It is open at the top and the bottom. Plus holes around the tube, lots of heat entrainment possible. I took my hoodliner off and am working on modifying my cooling vents in the hood and the rear hoodseal to try and get the heat out and cooler air in.. without changing out the entire Cai for a lided unit. If you get fired Cletus is looking for a canyon car tuner. Just got to make it fly..

[@jessefrias2575]

I droped in a k&n filter and also drilled out the front grill holes. It made a difference in iat’s both in traffic and cruising and no water issues at all. My car is daily driving and been driven thru some good rain storms and not a single issue with water getting into the inlet.

[@sbtiger556]

Best CAI to stay close to stock and get slightly more air is the Injen Evolution. I used it when I had my 2016 GT and loved it. With just the intake and a tune I ran 412 HP and 387 TQ to wheels. Those where literally the only mods I had. Not much of the increase was from the intake as usual but the intake temperatures were 3-4 degrees above ambient with the Injen and 5-7 with stock while moving. They would creep up when in traffic but nothing like my GT350 does. I hit 151 degrees today with an ambient temperature of 82 degrees at idle. That’s what happens with open element intakes. And I’ve never seen anything less than 5 degrees above ambient in the 350 except in a cold winter morning with temperatures around 30 degrees

[@marktiny8928]

This video would have saved me a headache of trying a cold Air. Dealing with high IATs then swapping back to the stock box for what felt like an improvement in comparison 👍

[@sjp3042]

I admit my first mod for my 11 GT was a K&N Typhoon CAI. Thought it looked awesome in the engine bay. I went to a Dyno Day at a local tuner and he said the metal air tube completely defeats the purpose because it absorbs the engine heat and feeds hot air in. Needless to say, I ditched the K&N and went back to the stock Airbox and my IATs are lower. Thanks for your honest opinions, love the channel!

[@pvrrpghxst7867]

I bought mine with a k&n Blackhawk and idk what’s wrong with it but it always made the car struggle after 6.3k rpm so I got the stock air box and now I’m waiting for a pmas

[@gh05t_r1d3r]

I kept my factory airbox on my '13 GT with a K&N panel and just replaced the tubing for an Airaid one. Works well! I try to explain this to so many. Every expensive "CAI" I had in the past on previous cars always worsened performance due to high IAT numbers. In the fender or in the engine bay "shielded off," it didn't really matter.

[@d.hayward5232]

I am thinking of possibly going this route - would you say that the Airaid was worth it?

[@karpetcm]

this is 100% true. My pmas in traffic or low speeds below 40mph is heat soak galore. Yes once im rolling for several seconds it hauls and I have a 2015 which doesnt have the better intake then the 18's+.

[@jay4627]

Airaid intake tube, with an aFe drop in inverted filter is basically the ideal setup you were talking about. That's what I'm running anyway.

[@tommylee7749]

Thats what i have too, but the air inlet tube is smaller going in the throttle body:( Know tune required...

[@mrksts1]

I reworked my PMAS and partitioned certain areas so that I get almost the same temp as stock on the highway, and it’s way better in traffic than out of the box. Completely happy with the setup, but to be fair I did have to get inventive to get results. Out of the box, IATs at long red lights were shocking.

I put an Injen CAI on my 2015. Doesn't require a tune so you're using the factory MAF sensor, closed box design and it works. Ran 2/10ths quicker 1/4 mile in 2000ft worse density altitude. Keeps those air intake temps down as well. I put a little foam tape where the Injen meets the factory air inlet since it doesn't have the rubber molding like the factory intake and my intake air temps are about 6-7 degrees above ambient.

[@dennylazzari8175]

Hi vxer, I'll be getting the same filter soon, it's good to hear it works properly. What kind of foam tape did you install? I guess it must be temp/humidity resistant?

[@MormonMustang_]

That's a great video Alex. Ford is now using LS1 aftermarket technology from 1998. The stock coyote housing is just like the aftermarket "whisper lid" that we used to get for Ls1 cars F bodies back in the day and we would do the "free ram air" mod that is now stock on the mustang. That alone was worth 15 rwhp on an LS1 car. This video gave me flashbacks of the LS1 aftermarket lid and free ram air mod. It looks just like the ls1 aftermarket induction except from the side.

[@peterbeertema6494]

Would be nice to see dyno numbers. I agree with you. It's the same on an F 150 ecoboost. Dyno numbers don't show any improvement over the stock air intake.

[@garyking2480]

Airaid design is the best then. It’s enclosed and works exactly like the stock design but you get more air. And it also still uses the ram air induction from the grille.

K&N typhoon seems to be a good design was thinking of replacing JLT with it, for this among other reasons

[@TheCdM1981]

Most “non tune” cold air intakes for the new mustang make very little difference on hp for the new 18+ mustang. The difference is the restrictor in the air intake with a tune. The Roush for the 18+ has the restrictor that can be removed. With the restrictor it is very similar to stock with out it, it needs a tune and takes more air in. Simple. It’s not like cars from the year 1999. Stock parts are very good for high performance cars. Ford did a lot to squeeze as much power as they could out of the 18+ mustangs. So with that being said. The best intake in my opinion is the Roush Cold air intake for the 2018+ mustang GT which is very similarly designed to the stock intake with a shield and cover blocking the hot air out.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

I have a 2018 5.0. A few years ago I replaced the stock intake with a roush cold air intake which came with a tune. It could run with or without a tune. There was nobody here who could install the roush tune so I’m running it without a tune. The throttle response is instant. Without the roush intake there is a little bit of a lag when I floor the gas pedal. Is the car faster, maybe not but it is quicker.

What do you think about the power packs that ford created for the 15-17 that’s open? Did they f it up? What your saying makes perfect sense, so I wonder why ford made these the way they did.

[@yellowfits9200]

If you are looking for a little more noise without causing any loss of performance I highly recommend the airaid intake modular tube , it works great, just leave the original box and that is all, no problems, your not going to make any extra HP but also not going to lose any but you can make more throdle noise

[@chrisbouchard4719]

Thoughts on putting the DEI gold foil on the intake? Road course car

[@StLMikie]

How do you feel about the corrugated section of the intake just past the sensor on the CAI? Does it disturb the air enough to make a detectable difference? Even if a guy were to make a section of tubing that goes from the tb to the first joint?

[@bryanharris3589]

I had a steeda cold air on my S197 coyote but after researching about cold air aftermarket intakes ( this video included) it only gains about 8 hp advantage over the factory cold air if that. I reinstalled the factory cold air and now prefer how it looks even. It kind of makes it more of a sleeper, LOL, if you can call it that anyway. I've thought about the K&N modular intake tube but the price just makes me want to cringe.

great video and this is something I have been thinking about lately. I am curious about going back to my stock air box for drag racing so that IATs are not insane staging up to the tree. High IATs rob HP, so if I can bring those back down, I wonder if I can improve getting out of the hole faster and harder. I have e85, headers, CAI and pulled my interior. I raced another 18 with same final gears, he had full interior and only e85 tune. we had same tires and we both cut the same 60 and trap speed, mph, everything.
