We Dyno The 2024 Mustang GT K&N Intake + Compare to Carbon Trap Delete & High Flow Drop-in Filters

[Mastermind46]

Right on!

Your point about tuning vs an after market intake (and exhaust for that matter) parallels my experience and observation/s on my former 2016 Focus RS (another Ford hot rod that had a lot of well thought out and designed engineering put into it). Bone stock RS CAIs and exhausts will flow to well over 500 fly wheel HP.

Why would anyone spend money on after market intakes or exhausts that "at best" flow "as good as" or maybe slightly better than OEM? Yet hundreds of RS owners did (including one of the previous owners of my RS).

When I finally had my RS dyno tuned by Livernois Motorsports I ended up with a 65 HP/50 TQ gain over stock. Which virtually mirrors gains by other RS owners with stock intake and exhaust systems! Strongly suggesting the K & N intake CAI and Borla S type cat back on my RS were lookin' good, but not a lot else vs OEM.

Don't get me wrong. From an appearance perspective; the K & N GT Typhoon looks great, but for a $650-$700 price of entry; I'll save my pennies for another 93 O LMS tune for my GT.

BTW: Props to LMR for doing the tests and posting the vid!

Can we just get a set of pipes that will connect to the factory closed boxes? and then a tune of course

Does a K&N filter flow well? Yes. But I think one has to consider the reason there's a filter installed on engines to begin with. I mean, you could remove the filters altogether if you truly wanted maximum flow.

I am working on a product for this. Filter as well as oem paper filters but is reusable. The media also flows a lot better than stock. Just a bit pricey per filter. Have the second set of prototypes at home waiting for fitment checks and then some dyno testing. Should be right around 1 month away.

I have also been toying with a set of intake pipes for the stock filters but my biggest issue is getting the carbon traps like the ones Cobb uses for their 50 state legal intakes. Or like the ones Whipple uses. This will be a must in order to sell this product on market for legal reasons.

How do they verify the carbon capture?

In this video, we compare different intake mods against the K&N CAI System!

We dyno our 2024 Mustang GT with a 10R80 transmission and resonator delete. We will be comparing the stock cold air intake with carbon traps on, and then off. Against a high-flow drop-in air filter without the carbon traps. Finally the results with K&N Cold Air Intake without carbon traps. We were surprised, to say the least by the outcome. Tune in to see the results. Let us know what you think in the comments below, and thanks for watching!

I'm going Whipple for power. Ordered mine for my Dark Horse in mid December. It finally came today May 30 now to make an appointment to install it. It comes with a limited tuner. Sadly none of the Ford dealers in my area does not have a dyno. So I'll have to dyno it after I get it back to find out what it makes I'll be happy with 650 hp to the wheels. It will be so nice when these cars get unlocked so they can be tuned. Don't see why a tuned mustang GT can't make over 500 NA with just a tune no headers etc.. When done I'll post the numbers.

I mean can you just add some stips to the filter or housing/neck and or end cap and call it a day? Do they have tests that must be passed or just a mass of media installed somewhere in the tract?

At the tires?
