Airaid cai

[Knuckles-GT]

Has anyone removed the venturi on this cai for the gt mustang . I Know it can be removed on the 11-14 models. I am bringin my car to get dynoed and tuned next Monday. Going to see the difference between bama and a custom tune. I will keep you posted with the results

its molded to the tube the only way would be to cut it out and im not sure what that would do to it

That's what I heard wasn't sure if anyone has cut or used a Dremel to remove it with good results

just an update i took off the air tube and removed the Venturi tube or restrictor tube (what ever people want to call it) with a dremel. Then used a some sand paper and smoothed the opening deffinatly open it up. first pic is removed and the second is what came out. Going to dyno it monday ill post results

I did this with my track day airaid and fired it up after reinstalling it without a tune it ran rough to say the least and rpms would climb up at a stop, even with a tune I don't think it would run right without the air flowing somewhat even past the MAF sensor. Perhaps a 4" pvc abs pipe section could be cut then placed inside to even the flow a bit. Never tried to continue since I don't plan on getting a tuner until I get more parts like a new intake manifold or cat deletes, so I ended up getting another airaid intake and have one like the one the op has sitting in a box for another day.

funny i just took it out for a ride only noticed at cold start rpm went a little higher but after it warmed up runs fine haven't notice any difference no rpm surge at all. i have a bama tune in it now thats probably why no surge. like i said i will post the dyno sheets on monday

Hope it goes good for you. Maybe it was due to my other mods, my car didn't seem to like it.

Bad idea to run it without a tune for the changed maf signal

I know it's a bad idea ro run it without a tune I do have a bama tune with the cai before the removal of the restriction tube and I am not driving it again until the custom tune on Monday
