Velossa Tech BIG MOUTH for 2018+ Mustangs?!

[RPerez6984]

I’m in on this. I was just researching how to improve the stock CAI instead of buying a PMAS or JLT. Especially after they discontinued offering paint matching. I had Both Gen Big Mouths on my Focus ST, so I think the others are on the right track.

Remove or at least port the Grille’s Honeycomb on that side with the Snorkel, remove that trap from the bottom of the air box and grind the previous supports smooth. Add an inlet tube like the Airaid junior? Even without a tune I’m sure a drop in filter coupled with those things would be more efficient.

And if the vehicle saw tuning in the future, these modifications in lieu of spending $350-$400 on another brand CAI, I’d argue the gains would be similar. Especially when you factor IATs in stand still traffic, pits, etc. May not beat the other intakes from a roll or top end while moving. But we’re talking like what 3-5HP on a Max effort build with the 18 Mani? If that!

I had a Mishimoto intake tube on my '16, but the general thinking seems to be the MY18+ cars don't need one. (it's already larger/higher flow). Most of us pulled the sound tube out too, it's silly and really clutters up the engine bay.

Ohhh you live in the Ghost city. It's only a 5 hour drive

Well, 4 hours

Yeah, it's pretty spooky here, hahaha, a couple of ghost hunter / paranormal type shows listed it in the top 5 most haunted places in the US

At any rate, it's not so much the drive, it's just I'm assuming you'd need the car for at least few days, driving back and forth would be a drag, kind of got a lot of shit going to bail for a few days. I can't believe there's not a local that would let you knock around on their car, get these developed!

I am interested. I assume you have to remove the front fascia to install? If so, I'll hold up til this is ready on the shitload of other stuff I need to do when the front comes off. Also, will it be available in HPPink? I see Hot Pink, but the extra "P" just a little sumthin'.

You do, but I'm hopeful the redesigned fascia - specifically the side/fender fasteners being screws vs. those f-ing tabs - will make things much easier (and less prone to wrecking things ...)

Dude, matching blue on your ride would be amazing, totally remove your corners from your stock grill for max flow + visibility *BOOM*

Totally in!! Already have a grille that opens the area up! Also, been needing to take the facia off again to paint the metal bumper behind everything. Or will these cover that up too?

We have a local who's going to be helping us with test fitting. However things are on hold because of you know what :(

Bitter sweet news. Excited but safety first!!

Question: How far forward do these inserts go? Do they butt up to the grille flush? I ask because I'm hoping these with cover the roughly red painted metal bumper behind the facia that is exposed in my MP concepts grille. See post #36 for pic

I usually design them to go as far forward as the deepest aftermarket grille, such that the product can fit multiple grille types. However I can't guarantee that it will fit all grille types. The MP concept grille will likely be part of our grille roster though.

Awesome, no matter what I'm sold on a pair when available. Without any actual measurements taken, I think the MP Concepts is near identical to the factory grille. Popped into the same lock tabs. The only real difference I noticed was that I couldn't put the black plastic baffling that fits between the grilles and in front of the metal bumper back on. Admittedly didn't try too hard to get it in there though.

Is it easier to remove/replace the front grill to install this, or to remove/replace the Airbox and snorkel?

I am apprehensive about taking the front grill off. That seems like a big project...
I know very little about this stuff. I have done only three things to my car, remove the sound tube, install the strut tower brace, and replace the horn.

I don't think these can be installed without removing the front fascia - you don't need to remove the grill, it's attached to the fascia. They fit in between the grill and the frame/supports.

Since you have a MY18+, removing the fascia should be a touch easier, and less prone to breaking tabs/clips like the MY15-17.

+1 removal wasn't too bad at all, just take your time. Zander13's youtube video was actually helpful.
