That is the factory GT 350 intake, it is also used on the ford racing stage 2 power pack. If you pull the intake tube off, there should be an 87 mm throttle body under there which is also part of the stage 2 kit.

Thank you! Very helpful. So it would be kind of pointless to buy a different aftermarket intake right? I assume that's a nice one

If you bought the car that way - you could have 1 of 2 things going on:

1) Original Owner just replaced the stock CAI hardware with the Ford Performance (or commonly referred to as the GT350 CAI) as you see in your image

OR

2) The OO purchased the Ford Performance Pack kit which included the hardware (CAI + intake) and software (tune). See this link and scroll down to the 2015-17 GT kits:
https://performanceparts.ford.com/performance-packs/

Aside from the visual CAI hardware, I'm not sure how you can tell if the Prior Owner did the complete option 2 noted above...

Use 93 octane until you figure out if it's tuned.

If it has the Ford Performance Power Pack 2 kit, there will be an adapter behind the throttle body for it to bolt to the stock intake manifold. Pull the plastic cover off the top of the engine and look for it.

He currently has orange coolant. Do not mix with different color coolant. Fill up with orange coolant or flush your coolant system and use yellow coolant (recommended on newer car)

VC-13 yellow is backwards compatible with all previous products.

You could check it by hitting the limiter under power. The factory tune falls on its face (cuts power allows the revs to fall then feeds power back in - very noticeable), power pack tune will bounce on the limiter.
