Awesome, I could use some advice here. I did get the firewall plug just in case I do decide to get rid of the sound tube. Can you elaborate on what difference it made?
Inside the car I can barely hear the intake even with the sound tube. Once I crack the windows is when I hear it.

Why the frowny face? The 302s grills look good. I am considering one just for the looks, since at this point I don't have an overheating problem.

Installed my Steeda intake last night! Just have to load up the tune now...
Also took the car out yesterday on the suspension. It's firm but but as harsh as I expected. Can't wait to dial it in!

Maybe they changed something between 2011 and 2014. In my car, the extra airflow increased the fake engine sounds coming from the sound chamber under the dash. It was annoying to me, so I removed the sound tube, plugged the firewall and capped the fitting on the CAI. You still hear the additional airflow from outside the cabin, just not the fake tinny sound from under the dash. The rubber seal from inside a master cylinder cap fits the hole in the firewall perfectly and it was like $4. I don't remember the exact part number. I would disconnect the sound tube and cap the nipple on the CAI and take it for a drive to see if there is a noticeable difference. Then you can decide if you want to leave it on or not.
I am not experiencing the same thing with the sound tube in place. In the cabin with the windows closed I can't her the intake. Only with the windows down
Also I still can't believe how crazy stiff your springs are. My car doesn't roll either. But that is because the steeda sway bar
But I get it ... different use case.

Thanks, for the feedback!

How do you like the intake tune??

Finally figured out my oil leak, it was from the hoses going into the AN fittings for both hoses. I watched YT and recut the hose/AN connection (tape/cut/rethead/connect). I also installed new SVT fan and the biggest happy news is the fan TURNED ON! :-) before that I got to drain the radiator fluid and used 2 water setters and all DI water. When the car was warm I went for a quick test drive and no issues.

Do they sell a kit to hook up an accu sump to these cars, or are you having to put it together yourself?
Great products I ran one in my last off-road race truck.
I had it mounted next to me in the cab and would control it with the manual lever.

Not a specific kit for the Mustang. They sell the accusump kits, but it's all generic installation. I've mapped out my planned installation, so it should be pretty clean and simple. I'm using the pressure sensor control unit so it automatically discharges when oil pressure drops below ~30psi, and it refills quickly as well to support road racing. I'll post up pictures of the installed product and the installation procedure if I actually remember do capture photos along the way for once...

I should have known you have run with them already lol. I've been watching your YT vids at LRP...so fast. A few questions, the uphill, are you waiting to power throttle till after the front compresses on the other side? and additional question but for last right corner (waiting for compression before adding throttle)?

Also, I started grabbing 3rd before the left handed. That helps a lot I found. Just started doing it. Gonna play around on Monday, I might not be able to grab 3rd with the aero, wider tires, and new suspension. It should carry more speed everywhere as long as the driver has the *****!

Yes I hold on applying full throttle until after the car settles over the uphill. It's slower but it's safer. I may have had a minor incident there once
Yes, downhill is no brake, quick snap in at compression then power power power. Enormous grip there
