Steeda CAI Review and Install Notes:

[Evolvd]

Just installed my steeda intake and tune. Wow it definitely woke up the car. Pushed it hard out of my friends development and got loose in second gear. Very responsive. The air inlet temps were about 7-9 above ambient but if I was at a red light it would get very hot like 20+ above ambient. I know there was some talk about this here I'll have to re-read, but if something is off I should know about let me know. Think it looks great under the hood and wasn't too bad to install. I did yank the sound tube when I did mine so I'll have to pick up a plug for the firewall

Yep that'll happen and your numbers are just like the rest of us.

Looking forward to tuning mine. I picked up some power without it so it should be even better with one.

Just finished installing mine .. Based on the pics in ops original post seems my fittings are the same and don't fit snug like oem. Seems the elbow needed to extent the holes for the pcv so they're not stretched and on an angle.

Had a question about the hole in the front of the box .. Was one of the plugs for that hole ? I used one on the firewall, the other after cutting off the oem piece, and the last on the sound tube connection on the elbow. I ended up putting the cap over the plug too but think that plug was for the box ?

My pcv fittings.. At their best.. They slowly move back to position where they're almost falling out .

The lock ring will keep them from falling off. They are just breather hoses so no worries about them blowing off.

There should be three plugs and one cap. A small plug goes in that hole in the box. There is no cap for the sound tube, just the rubber piece you already have on the elbow.

Hmm it wasn't the lock ring end it was the rubber grommet end in the elbow.. They slide right out. I ended up putting that cap for the box on the sound tube hole then the rubber over it .. I'll get a cap for the hole tomorrow from the hardware store.

Uploaded my tune and will go for a boot later and maybe record some runs

just push the fitting until it's flush it won't move.

The angle and fitment is off when I put it in it slides Almost all the way out. I tried loosening the silicone connections and moving it around but still the same. I'll eventually just add some hose and connections later so they're nice and flush.

Uploaded the tune. Car drives nice.. Feels like it revs much easier and the corsa exhaust definitely got quieter !

Your car will be fine. We have areas of the United States that get well above 40c.

That's good to know. It's just conditions here can get pretty harsh during the summer, and that's when usually "American" vehicles start to break down. I've had no problems whatsoever last summer though, but my car was bone stock as well.

Either way that's not going to stop me from modding. I just hope everything goes smoothly.

Yes, more than I'd like really. Mustang owners here are the worst. They know nothing about the car, and most of them just buy it for looks, and of course, the cheapest Mustang money can buy.

you don't have it installed right some where if it all just doesn't line up perfectly

Anyone here have Steeda tune for MAK cat deletes? I have an email to Matt doing their tuning but just wondering if I could get a quick answer while we let these guys get a couple of hours of sleep before being bombarded with questions lol

Where can we get a waterproof sleeve for the cai filter? Has anyone found one yet?

No need for one, but you could contact Steeda or S&B. Otherwise a universal one from K&N would suffice.

I went through a touch less wash yesterday .. Filter was wet and there was a puddle at the bottom
