Great addition to my car
The biggest difference is the extra purr the engine make. I did notice a bit of throttle response which is always good.

Wake up your V6
I bought a Volant CAI for my previous vehicle and was pleased with it, though I had to make some personal mods to get the tone and performance I wanted while eliminating the very annoying drone around 2,800 RPM. Then I bought a 2014 Mustang V6 and decided to go with another CAI and after some research I decided to give this Airaid a shot.Even though from past experience I realized the install is pretty straight forward, I was careful to follow the step-by-step instructions. This box went in MUCH easier than y old Volant and fit perfectly. The only tough part was the very tight fit of the rubber tube onto the throttle body, but you want that to be tight so it was worth it. Like another person said, just rub a fingertip of oil around the lip and it will slide right on.Total time for install was roughly 40 mins, but a good portion of that was me trying to find some lost bits. In the end the fit is excellent and the look is very professional and high grade. So after I got it installed and double checked all connections and fired her up. At idle there is literally no difference, which is good IMO. But once I fed her air... WHOAAAAAA!!! The sound difference is night and day. So I took her out for a test run and normal driving, no noticeable difference. But once I gunned it, it sounded like a sports car SHOULD sound. The engine tone alone was worth the money.As far as performance I would say I felt a slight gain but I'm realistic enough to know it's not going to be anything you can really notice. I will track my fuel EPA and report back later, but I expect a 1 MPG gain which doesn't sound like much but when you do the math on what that saves you over a year, this baby will pay for itself.I could not be happier with this product.

Instant Power Increase
Finally bought this for my 2014 Mustang V-6. Only have 1100 miles on it as of right now. Instructions are pretty clear, taking out the old air box is really simple. Putting in the new one had a few tricks. its nice you re-use the old rubber grommets on the air box. if you cant get the one with the screw on it to mount in the box, do it from the opposite way, cant remember if top or bottom to put in new box, it will squeeze into the hole. i have read some cut out the box to make it fit, but its not needed. The kit did not come with allen keys needed to put the TPS onto the new tube, just the torx to remove it. I already had this so it was fine. It was a little difficult to put the tube and box all in and have it fit. its really tight fitting! I put on the rubber on the intake, used a little motor oil on it to slide on easier, then i had to unbolt the box and slide the tube in the box, once in, then put tube onto rubber at intake, then bolt box back down, finally then bolting the tube to the box. was a little difficult but not impossible, just tight fitting. once all on, it is nice.went for a drive, instant throttle response picked up. when you give it a lot of gas, around 2000-2500 rpm, you hear it growl like it should. when driving normal, its nice and quiet like it was before. Claims 13 HP increase, could be, but i dont have a dyno. if so, that puts the 2014 at 318 HP for the V-6, only 2 short of my 99 cobra i just traded in on it with 320 HP, so im right back where i was! All and all, very nice, look good under the hood and seems to be really nice. Ill know more for sure after driving it more and getting some miles on it. Also wanted to add I have the 6 speed automatic in it as well.

Total Headache
The item was shipped on time, which was great. The item sounds pretty good in my car and seems to be working okay. The problem was the installation was a complete nightmare. I've installed two intakes on two other cars in the past, so I've got at least a bit of experience, but this one I had such a hard time with. I installed it in my 2012 Ford Mustang. None of the pieces seemed to really want to fit together all that well, couldn't get them to stay together, the hoses didn't want to stay connected well, and ended up having to cut out a piece of plastic in the engine compartment to get the MAF sensor back on. Terrible experience with the installation. Would probably recommend a different brand for anyone considering this product (strictly off the troubles I had with installation).
