K&N Intake Kit for 2024+ Mustang GT now available

Funny how people dissing things are also being dishonest…
What is obviously guaranteed is a gain, in both HP and Torque.

They can only estimate, because, let’s be honest, how many times even ONE car has had twice the same measurements on a dyno ?!
Exactly.
So they probably installed it on X amount of cars, and ran Y amount of dyno measurements, and the average of the gains is most likely what they shared as “estimated”.

To each their own, but why would people put so much effort into dissing what they don’t like, believe in, or maybe can’t afford…

I think what's a bit cloudy is...were any of those previous test cars a 2024 Mustang? Improved flow is only valuable if stock flow is a bottleneck.

I think the ram air and closed box with a higher flowing filter may be all that is needed. However, I think if someone was to smooth out the piping from the box to the throttle body and make it out of a heat resistant material...then boom...more efficient, and smoother air flow. Anyone company out there willing to try that simple idea? Lol

smoother piping might flow more air...but the engine is only going to use X amount of air anyway, and you have two of those pipes feeding the intake, so it makes even less of a difference

the heat resistance isn't much of an issue either because the air isn't in those pipes for long enough to heat up

Ever walked through a sauna?

Ever walked through a sauna?

you're feeling the humidity

You also don't walk through a plastic tube in a sauna

and you also only walk at 3mph, your air goes through the throttle body a little faster than that

spend a bunch of money and wrap your intake piping in gold foil or something, it won't make you any fsster

think about how hot your engine is that the air is going into

So then why not preheat it?

It's amazing to me that the K&N rocks trainers still are so popular and command top dollar. You couldn't pay me to put one of these onto my car.

Sure they flow more air and are less restrictive on intake. This makes the engine feel snappier and will make peak power and climb faster to redline, better throttle response, but an ultimate power and torque increase? Not so much. Plus all the added particulate matter that these oil gauze filters let through just don't make them worthwhile except perhaps in a racing application.

But to each his own or her own your car your ride.

If it’s a race for pinks i might even be tempted to pull the plugs, if i lose they gotta deal with it, if i win back in they go and a quick fluid change… but that’s as you say, to each his own. J/k… although….

Man, 3mph in a sauna.....you jogging? lol.

Results may vary
That’s code for you aren’t getting ~ 20HP/torque out of a car with nice flowing dual intake already.
I’ll wait until someone independent does some testing, until then I’ll save my $700 which is better spent elsewhere

edit: it even says estimated based on similar vehicle. lol

Right on! When my OEM air filters need replacing; I'll do it with K & Ns or Steedas, but I darn sure won't spend that kinda scratch on an intake system without third party testing and dyno verification the system works as advertised!

I traded a 2016 Focus RS in on my GT. The first owner had ditched the OEM CAI and cat back in favor of a K & N CAI (very similar in design to this Mustang GT system), an MBRP cat back, a catless down pipe, AND a tune of unknown parentage.

I replaced the MBRP with a Borla S type cat back because the MBRP leaked; it smelled bad in the car, it had major drone, and was too loud.

I took the RS to Livernois Motorsports for a 93 O dyno tune. The baseline pull with the kit noted above; came in at 301 HP and about 295-298 TQ in 2 WD.

A bone stock RS should dyno at 275 HP and 265ish TQ.

Meaning that what ever the original owner had spent on an after market CAI, cat back, catless down pipe, and a tune had netted him 26 HP and a similar amount of TQ!

LMS installed a catted OEM dpown pipe (I provided) and performed a 93 O dyno tune. My final pull was 340 HP and 391 TQ in 2 WD. 40 HP gain, and actually a 65 HP gain over stock at the wheels with what amounted to a software optimization. And, I gained about a MPG!

In the end the original owner had thrown his money away on the after market CAI, DP, and cat back. Focus RS OEM CAI and exhaust are well documented to being able to support well over 500 WHP.

I just got my K&N Typhoon intake installed. I didn’t do it for the performance gain, I did it for the appearance under the hood. I like the way it looks. I also had the tubes painted “Sinister Bronze” to match the trim option from the factory. The strut support bar was also for looks and painted as well. Neither will really change the performance but now it’s a small bit unique.

Where you get the plate for the brace?

Where you get the plate for the brace?

It’s the Ford Racing factory brace with the included plate (M-20201-MA). My body shop popped the rivets on the back and painted the brace and reinstalled the factory plate. They painted the reinforcing mount piece as well but most of that is covered.

Thats is bonerific!!
