Just bought the mustang and I decided to get a tune. Went to take the restrictor out of the CAI as I figured there was one but I am not sure if it has one. Looks like there is none.

Calling out OKC #1 spot after axle back install.
looks like the restrictor is put on backwards.

Yup backwards, that would be the ultimate flow restrictor for sure...not to mention trying to get the rubber coupler to fit over the flared end on the other side.

Also you may want to orient the rubber seal 180° opposite to the way it's on the box in the picture so the ends meet on the fender side of the airbox and not on a corner.
