Most people remove it so I don't know that you'll get much input on how to retain it. Typically aftermarket Cai manufacturers recommend getting rid of it too.

Well, thanks for reply. I hope there are a few like me out there. Lol. I can tell u, after installing the roush CAI without tune, because I dont wanna ruin my warranty that the stang is slower than when running stock box w a K&N panel filter. I'm ripping raoush off and sending it back. No thanks

Oh niceeee. I love JLT, vin is the man over there. I just added his oil catch can to stang. The CAI's dont add power unless your tuned. I really want to, but I'm not voiding the warranty for that, ya know.. I'm contemplating swapping in 3.55s in a week as well, but once again they have to update/flash the computer and that's warranty voiding again. I only have 450 miles on the stang.

Yeah I have their catch can as well. Good products. I told myself I wouldn't mod and keep my warranty when I bought the gt. I made it to 5k and everything went out the window.

If you're going the Roush road, as I have. Never gave the warranty a second thought.

Reason? Ford installs AND sells Roush out the front door.

Follow the directions, if installing and tuning your car.

Roush suggest using DashBridge CX vehicle network interface (AKA dongle), windows compatible.

Is pricey, you can install the hardware and let Ford bump the data end.

The price, i think will be the same . Owning the dongle or paying Ford to use theirs on your car.

However there is a slight catch there, the venturi of the ram with the tune. Does not use the insert that is smaller, included in the CIA kit

Chose to own, as with any of my tools. Just saying, it is better to know ALL the facts going in.

So plan ahead

Cheers & enjoy that car they "R" awesome
