Installing Cold-Air Intake System - Size Matters - S197 Bolt-Ons

Realspeed Opens Up A Stock 'Stang's Airflow With Parts From R2C, Metco, Ford Racing, And KooksYes, the subject matter is territory that we've visited many times before with 5.0 Mustangs and their younger, modular-powered siblings. This exercise in installing and testing S197 bolt-ons covers the simple air-efficiency upgrades (cold-air intake, larger throttle-body, free-flow mufflers, and tuning) that we believe are excellent first-step performance modifications for '05-'10 'Stangs. However, in each instance we like to experiment with components that are made by different manufacturers, to see exactly how well certain parts work on a stock Pony, both individually and when combined with each other for evaluation as affordable, bolt-on performance packages for Three-Valve-powered, '05-present Mustang GTs.inline_mediumwraptextrightHorse Sense: In what has become a standard practice when I make my annual trip to the East Coast (for our coverage of the NMRA event at Atco Raceway in New Jersey), a tech project is included in the journey. For this year's exercise, an evaluation of basic bolt-ons for '05-'09 Mustang GTs, installation and dyno tests are being handled at Realspeed Automotive of Bohemia, New York; a hard-core Mustang center on Long Island that caters exclusively to all of the modern-day Pony platforms ('79-'93, '94-'98, '99-'04 and '05-'10).26404900/techarticles/m5lp_0911_installing_cold_air_intake_systemm5lp_09 1000_s197_01_o+cold_air_install+.jpgTrue
