Cold Air Induction Stage Two
 

RE: aFe 54-10292 - Stage Two Intake - 05 Ford Mustang V8


AFE advertises that this stage 2 unit does not require a computer flash, and provides an additional 19 HP.

Has anyone had any experience with this system, and does it create any issues with the OEM MAF?

Thanks

19 hp at ...9000 rpm maybe?
ive never believed in CAI's although ive never worked on an 05 ...don't waste your money

I've never been a big beliver in CAI kits.

Dyno tests with CAI kits alone on the older 2 valves told the story of: "Yea, it looks kinda cool under the hood, but you paid how much for 4 more horses at the rear wheels?"

The 3-valve engines seem to take a little more kindly to after-market CAI kits.
5.0 Mustang got an additional 13 horses on their best run with an 05 and the BBK piece.

I'd expect around a 10rwhp gain.

Most pieces are plug and play the MAF and T\B.

Honestly, If you're stock, a better first purchase would be a good shifter and 3.73s\4.10s...

Thanks for the info.

I have a 2005 Mustang GT, AUTOMATIC / Five Speed. As you know, Ford advertises 300HP with regular gas. I don't want to loose regular gas vice mods that require a computer reflash and premium fuel thereafter.

When I saw aFe's ad, it sounded like a nice little bump in HP without the computer flash. I have never done anything with mods before, so it's all new to me.

Thanks again.
