"2005 Mustang Cold Air Intake Kit (05 V6)

Gain horsepower and torque with this straightforward upgrade. Lifetime filter can be cleaned and re-oiled, but the big news here is that Steeda streamlined the airflow in the 05 Mustang to the point that a computer re-flash isn't just an option, it's required! Check out the SCT Xcalibrator - the perfect tool for the job!

The kit is supplied with a stainless steel air box with built-in velocity stack and CNC billet aluminum mass air meter. It mounts in the factory location with the supplied rubber trim to seal it against the hood & fender to keep the hot air out. Steeda's tests showed inlet temps a mere 10 degrees above ambient temperature. The Steeda Lifetime Filter can easily be cleaned and re-oiled, making maintenance a snap. All hardware required for installation is included in the kit.

Steeda found between 16 -20 more rear wheel horsepower with this kit.




Availability: Usually ships the next business day.

Does this mean i cant reach a 20 horse power gain with out the computer reflash?......Sorry about the question but im fairly new to all this

Martimus

Actually quite the opposite. The Steeda intake absolutely REQUIRES a custom tune. Without it you'll likely have a check engine light (CEL) soon after installing it.

Did you not read your post?

EDIT: My bad, you are correct, you cannot reach that w/o the flash. The car will likely not run correctly without the reflash. Mess up the A/F

I have the Steeda, it's great. You need the tune. You want the tune, trust me. The tune is more important than the CAI, IMO. I recommend BamaChips for the SCT-2.

I also have the Steeda intake and the X-Cal2.

I got mine in a package deal from BrenSpeed.

It amazes me.

Did you guys get +20Hp with the steeda?

and by the way how is the X-cal used?

Thomas S

I haven't had my car dynoed. You plug it in below and to the left of the steering column and follow the directions. Very simple.

Like Jimp said, the X-Cal 2 is very easy to use, and I don't know about the 20 HP, but I do know you will be able to spin the tires VERY easily with the intake and a tune...
