Roush vs Injen Evolution CAI

[Htk084]

^^^ lol. Little late Lethal as his post was October 2019.

Really lookin forward to your data.

PS, id put my money on an Injen car vs a JLT car any day of the week. Much easier to tune as well.

Well mine has E85 tuning, ported 88mm tb, and a couple other tweaks. Planning to have my tuner review and see what we can do. Best looking design (almost factory) by far. Thanks, and I will update this thread.

I don’t know how adding a bigger tube brings in more air to the stock throttle body. I know it makes power on the dyno with the hood open.

I have been running and a believer in the stock box E85 tuned for over 2 years. Can it be improved, yes.

Does a big open intake (JLT/Pmas) make the most power, yes. Does it heat soak, yes. I have run a JLT cobra jet intake. The Injen can run on stock tuning which is a plus for some people.

I will post data for both.

Picked this up brand new $275 shipped to my door. Super easy install. Quality build and oem like finish.

I have ported tb and E85 tuning already and it feels like it picked up some torque in the 2-5k range. Car effortlessly accelerates with very little pedal pressure in 94 degree heat high humidity. Did not get to feel a 7500 rpm drag shift yet. IAT’s in idling traffic no higher than 103. So far impressed.

I've been running mine for a few weeks now and I'm seeing lower IATs over stock box. Cruising is about the same....3-4 degrees over ambient but much lower while idling.

Great read on CAI's and how to calculate performance increases.

I’m feeling a nice increase in torque in the useable 1500-4000 rpm range. Intake likes the corn. ;).

Corn FTW!

So what’s the verdict on this intake worth it or not? I have a jlt laying around but not sure if I’m wanting to get the revision atm with all this epa crap..

I liked it, and the IATs were nice and low. But I've since switched to the no-tune PMAS (PMAS MAF) and while the IATS are way higher, it feels like it pulls harder, sounds a lot better, and actually runs smoother especially when shifting which is weird.

I really enjoy all the pro-stock box people and their arguments. Nobody cares about the stock box. That thing is butt ugly, hideously ordinary, and it is a cheap run of the mill generic plastic thing that they put on every Mustang from the factory. Even if it is 100% efficient, is a cai going to LOSE HP? No. Is it going to harm your engine in any way? No. Will it take your ordinary regular looking engine bay and make it look a thousand times nicer and not like every other Mustang that rolls off the assembly line? Yes. So the looks and individuality alone is worth the price. People spend thousands of dollars on paint treatments and interior pieces and that for sure adds nothing in the way of performance. But a $300 intake to spruce up the engine bay? Oh Heaven's no. Absolutely not. You wasted your money and are stupid. The stock box is the best thing ever for anything. LOL!! GTFOH with that BS. No Mustang I ever own will ever retain the stock box under any circumstances. I don't care if the stock box can handle 1200 horsepower. It's got to go.

OK, so I installed the Injen unit this past weekend. I had the Lund E85R tune loaded the week prior. With just the intake change (Lund verified no updated tune was needed) there is a very noticeable difference in both throttle response and power. I can very much feel both. While I do not have quantified verification I have a pretty sensitive butt dyno. For me, it was WELL worth the money. Oh, and it looks what I would call OEM Plus.

So Lund confirmed that you can use existing E85 tune with Injen intake ? I have Lund E85R and Flex tunes with stock airbox and AFe high flow filter. I'm debating about getting this Injen Evolution intake

 

[Scooter MGee]

Yes sir, I can confirm that the email I received from Lund asking for an updated tune for the Injen intake stated there was no need to modify anything.......and you will feel a difference upon installation.
