Dang... Thanks for the response though! Do you know if the other issues with the clips and the maf sensor causing issues were addressed?

Hello,
What are you running the CAI for - drag racing, road racing, or a streetcar?
Best Regards,
TJ

I have a gen 2 5.0 (2016) with the stock airbox currently. Car is daily driven, but has the steeda suspension catalogue thrown at it for drag racing/total wheel hop elimination. Interested in a closed box design that keeps IATs low and allows for greater airflow than stock. I have a ported tb and ported gen 3 18+ manifold that are going to go on with the cai once I pick between steeda closed box or an 18+ oem airbox system.

I just recently ordered their closed box to mate with a cj manifold and vmr 69 Twin tb and lund tune for 93 pump gas. I have NO ISSUES. Idles, acceleration and most of all intake temps are 10-15 degrees lower than my previous set up at idle; pmas intake, 88mm tb. Car is a 19 pp1. So for anyone on the fence about what previous statements have listed/stated, I would not be afraid or worried about steedas closed box CAI.

Yes that’s correct. Steeda even mentions that.

I haven't tried it on the steeda unit, but sometimes if you glue a window screen in the opening just before the MAF sensor, it will straighten the airflow enough to stabilize the readings.

I have a 2017 GT and I'm looking to get this intake and pair it with a ported 2018+ manifold. Looking to get a 93 tune from Lund (no desire for flex tune since e85 isn't available in my area), would you recommend keeping the insert in or not for ease of tuning/drivability.

You would need to speak to Lund about their ideal conditions when tuning the Steeda CAI. For max performance, it is recommended to run without the insert. This is an aggressive intake that we use at the drag strip for best performance at max conditions.
If you are looking for better drivability & street performance, the open-element CAIhttps://www.steeda.com/steeda-555-3228-s550-open-cold-air-intake may be a better option for your consideration.
Let me know if I can help assist further.

On the 18+ cars, we can tune for premium fuel (93-91) octane, no regular. We can also do a tune for E85 but not flex.
Let me know if i can help assist furtrher.
Thank you,

Thanks for the info though. Running flex fuel tune with a ported 18+ GT intake manifold and 47lb injectors on my 2016 GT. Still on stock airbox since I want a closed box set up. Got flex fuel (e51-e84) in the tank.
Steeda closed box intake, despite using the factory lower box, is still my top pick for a closed box intake, just wanna be able to run e51-84 through it.
That is our tuning capabilities -others may have the ability to tune & refine the other options.
Best Regards,
TJ
