Question about cold air intakes...

[roadpilot]

... so if anything, i recommend looking at some stripes instead.

LOL. You couldn't pay me enough to put hideous stripes on my cars.

Looks like another option coming soon…

I like those, clear lids plus smooth tubing for better flow.

Thanks for the response!

CPE was a pretty big name in the Mazdaspeed world.

I wonder what the flow looks like in more squared off boxes like the cpe units. Probably not enough to matter for NA setups but the oem is rounded a bit inside for flow around the filter. Even the lids are which makes them more of a pain to add a clear window to.

I know there are several posts on here about getting cold air intakes...K&N specifically, I just have the money to spend so is it worth it for the looks? I am not looking for extra hp or torque, I am just curious if it is worth it for just showing off? I'm not rich by any means, I just want some opinions. I have a 2024 GT Mustang Premium and I am very happy with it.

If you’re happy with what you have I don’t believe K&N will change your mind.
You may want to do more research?

The research I have found keeps telling me don't get cold air intakes for a 2024, since the S650 is not tuneable, yet. I am not looking for horsepower/torgue at this point, but I can't find another cold intake with that appealing look. If you have suggestions, let me know. Thanks.

If you talk to the experts in tuning and performance, they all will pretty much tell you, HP & TQ gains are not exclusively from CAI's but from the combination of CAI & Dyno Tunes, since A/F mixtures, timing etc., get affected.

Engine dress up is very cool. If you are just gonna do CAI I wouldn't bother. But if you are gonna upgrade other components over time, then go for it, especially if you are keeping the car. I upgraded my 2006 GT engine components over time and I love it.

Not sure, looks nice. Saw it in an ad but don’t know any of the specs on it. CPE is about an hour from me. I’ve been there a couple of times and their operation, along with Long Tube headers, was pretty legit.
