Airaid CAI

[Joe_Stang]

Joe you're gonna end up making me pull the trigger on the tune... I swore to myself i was gonna wait till my warranty is over before messing with tunning. I'm only 3000 miles in and considering it already LOL

I couldn't wait that long lol. And I've had tunes on my other mustang that was a daily driver and never had any problems. I bought my car to enjoy it so that's what I'm doing. I've been like atleast 700+miles with the tune now no problem. The performance tune is not that aggressive anyway.

This one isn't for track use only and it doesn't require a tune. It's available now too!!

Quick question about the 2015 V6 CAI. Is it normal for the air inlet temp to rise and fall drastically? At stop lights the inlet temp was around 100F and then when I accelerate off the light, "normal acceleration" the inlet temp would drop back into the 70's by the time I'm in 3'rd gear shifting at 2k each gear. The second I'm in neutral it's back up to 100+F in less than 10 seconds. Just curious on this. No check engine lights are on and everything else is normal. Just started doing this drastic temperature change today.

Mine does the same thing. I am not sure if thats normal or not

Yeah, I've had the CAI on my car for about a week and it didn't start doing that until today. Hopefully it's normal. Just a bit odd.

It's perfectly normal. The MAP sensor (which i suppose reads air temp) is located in the upper intake manifold, which conveniently sits right above the exhaust manifold (which is clearly really hot). When you accelerate, more air is fed to the engine and the temperature hence drops. I noticed this difference with the stock airbox too so it doesn't really have to do with the CAI. The temperature drops a lot faster with the CAI tough, which is exactly what it's supposed to do.
