2022 GT down 10 hp

[Firsttexan]

An X-pipe from steeda will get you back that 10HP & might I add that you'll be getting a nice sounding exhaust ;)

I would go H pipe. Better sound IMO. Less rasp the better. IMO

Hell, aside from a complete aftermarket CAI unit, upgrade the restrictive paper air filter to a reusable mesh type, and there’s 5 HP…

Want another 5 HP? Ditch the restrictive factory exhaust from headers back… easy peasy…. Now you’re back to pre-2022 HP figures…

True. But if you did that to a 2021 MY you'd end up with 470 HP. So you're still worse off with the 2022 MY no matter how you look at it.

The year is 2042. Nostalgic automotive enthusiasts are beginning to collect the last vestiges of ICE performance cars. Of the Ford Mustang Mach 1s of the period, the 2021 model is preferred without question, due to its higher horsepower rating.

So it is written, so it shall be.

there is no gasoline to be had for any price.

Depends on the axle backs used. I would take the hp increase.

Yet the 2021 owner will still have bragging rights!

10hp from a mid-pipe... If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you! lol

The year is 2042. This thread is now 7336 pages and 72,824 posts long.

And the 10 horsepower still doesn't mean a G-d Damn F-cking thing.

When the horsepower ratings change due to hybrid and electrification, where will we be?
I remember the disaster in the 70's when the ratings changed. It was utter madness.
I'm waiting for the separate EV ratings so it cannot be compared to an ICE.

Also, synthetic fuel is just around the corner.......

Funny how the forums are full of people trying to squeeze every little bit of extra power that they have at least a remote theoretical chance of squeezing (e.g. CAI, X-pipe, throttle body, Ford Peformance tune, etc.), and spending a lot of money to that end, but when Ford robs them of 10 HP it suddenly becomes completely irrelevant and doesn't mean a g-d damn f-cking thing.
Going by the plethora of threads that start like: "I want to add a CAI, how many HP will I gain?", or the success of the FP tune thread (122 pages and still counting), I'm inclined to think that it does actually mean something for a lot of people.

Except in this case the rating system hasn't changed - or at least we don't know that it has. Until proven otherwise, we can assume that the actual power output is indeed lower.

My Euro GT has 10 HP less than its American brethren. Do I feel it? Would I be able to tell if it had 460 instead of 450? Of course not. I love this car to bits and enjoy every moment spent in or with it. Heck, it could have 350 and I'd still be happy.
But it still upsets me that I lost something for no good reason, just because of some fat, useless beaurocrats in Brussels whose sole purpose in life is to make our lives as miserable as they can.

Changed. You are not alone!

most of the CAI threads have at least one post pointing out the futility. The FP tune though fixes drivability or fills in unnecessary holes lower than peak. Chasing peak is dumb, but "look how fat and level my torque curve is" doesn't have quite the ring and requires a more intelligent conversation partner.
