Will This Work With My 2022 Mustang GT Premium

[Edgemere]

Greetings,

I have a 2022 Mustang GT Prem with stock motor and I would like to install the Ford Performance Cold Air Intake with ProCal Voucher. However, it states that its only for the 2018 - 2021 model year Mustang GT's. Has anyone out there installed this CAI on their Mustang that is a 2022 or newer? If so did you like the improvements?
I did remove that stupid carbon filter from my stock air intake when I first got it.

Please advise.

Thanks, Edgemere

The tune doesn't work. The emissions changes to 22-23 mean a different tune and they didn't want to spring for the CARB testing for a really short run of cars. FR originally said one was coming up but then went quiet on it and never moved forward. Aftermarket tuners will gladly take the business.

Agreed. And FWIW I did a Corsa CF CAI on our ‘22 and no tune was needed at all. So it eliminates the carbon trap BS and lets you pick up a few more HP (while looking damn good lol).

You can also just pull the carbon trap out of you want to keep the factory unit, HP restored.

Engine bay looks immaculate bro!

You cant with the 22s. I have one. Removing the carbon trap will net you the same gains as an aftermarket CAI.

I don’t think that’s true since the ‘22-‘23 MAF tube is necked down a good bit. The CAI fixes that. Plus OEM has a much smaller filter vs a good brand CAI. I would bet a beer (or several lol) on that test if someone did a back to back on the same dyno.

Turbulence grid and carbon trap are the only differences, been proven many times over.

Check this thread out. Actual MAF tube ID was measured by a fellow forum member.

Which shows that...they are the same. Except for the thin turbulence grid which is supposed to make more consistent readings. The MAF tube isn't holding back some magic horsepower locked behind a wall. The carbon filter removed is supposed to give back the 10 they took away from you but even the loss of 10 was debatable.

So the same, but measures differently lol…?

Yes, the only part that measures different is the grid insert. Everything else is the same and the whole assembly minus the carbon trap flows more than enough for the factory gen 3 engine. No magical HP genie grants you miracles when you replace it with a bigger tube.

I definitely understand (my Camaro is 1066 WHP so I’m not a stranger to getting air into motors lol). But removing restrictions on an NA motor is typically a good thing, the 22/23 engines were rated at less HP and the necked down intake was part of that reason. That was my point.

Umm, wrong. The horsepower drop for the 22/23 cars were due to the carbon trap. This is coming right from Ford themselves.

I haven’t seen that so feel free to post a link. Curious that you feel that necking down the CAI doesn’t contribute to lower power rating…
