Had enough of aftermarket CAI & HIGH IAT's. So here's my fix.

Even clears the 17 engine cover. Modded to fit my 2020 intake manifold.

Love that DiabloSport display.
Thats just one of a infinite amount of configurations. You can customize each gauge. And DiabloSport has so many PIDs to choose from its mind boggling. Data recording is second to none. 😀

Thank you! That’s very comforting to know it fits well. I’ve been less than enthused about the jlt’s fit. I know it’s not jlt’s fault, but still

Did the K&N drop in filter today
Kept hearing it messes up the MAF signal. 100% false. Only thing I notice is fuel trims relearning. Other than that.. My journey outta the hot air intake is complete. Couldn't be happier with the 18+ air box + filter.

Hard to argue it kinda does everything well. It flows, keeps iats down and smooth maf curve.

A lot of stuff I read before I got my car suggested that was the best combination for ‘most’ people and ‘most’ circumstances :like:

As much as I would have like a fancy looking intake, I ended up with :
  • Big mouth.
  • 18+ air box (standard for me).
  • Pulled the carbon trap from the lid.
  • Plugged the sound tube.
  • AEM dry filter.

I'm guesstimating 2.5% increase in hp for the K&N drop in (based on everything I've seen on engineering explained), and .05% (probably less cause it's not really in the way of anything) for removing the charcoal filter. Let's face it.. that stock filter is twice & probably twice as restrictive as thick as the K&N .

As for the big mouth.. I couldn't justify spending a hundo for some formed plastic. So I made my own haha.

I have absolutely no idea of how to check that ... lol

And if I did, would it be relevant / comparable based on mine being a UK car ? i.e. it runs a different tune to the USDM cars with GPF's and different exhaust manifolds with correspondingly different HP and torque ratings ?

Following instruction, I am up for checking if its easy to do - I have the OBD Link MX+ dongle with the app on iPad and iPhone and ForScan :like:

I have a Bullitt which uses the GT350 intake and TB. I did install a big mouth and checked for proper sealing to the hood, and it does. Would there be much of a benefit to replace it with a stock 18+ airbox and tube? Would the tube fit the larger TB?

I have no idea. As I never used the gt350/bullitt air induction so I can't give an opinion.

You just have to look at your data log. Shouldn’t matter that yours is a Euro car since all of the cars use MAF and not MAP, regardless of US/Euro spec. I’m not sure if you have a program that shows you detailed sensor information for data logging but on pretty much any mail tune, you can see those three factors very easily. The Maf lbs/min is a decent way to show flow potential of different intake setups as long as you correct for the fuel trims. With the trims considered, an increase in maf lbs/min usually correlates with a power increase due to more airflow. Especially useful for ram air intake setups like the factory mustang cold air since having 70+ mph of air on the front of the car does change how the intake flows and isn’t replicated on a dyno
