An intake with a tune will not grenade your engine. If you want to waste your money on a no tune intake then by all means, go for it. Since you are just looking for appearance mods. There is a section for that on the AM page.

I have the Airraid CAI on my 2011 and really like the look of it and how it sounds under WOT. I also like the added power it provides but I have a performance tune. I think you would be real happy with the Airraid CAI and you should pull the trigger. You won't regret.

And yet again you fail to grasp the point of this thread. I am trying to find mods that do not require a tune but will be beneficial once I tune it

I also like the look of the chrome colored body and blue in color filter head on the BBK but can you use them with no tune? I was under the impression the BBK require a tune! Any thoughts.

onequickstang

I think they do...

Oh. I grasp plenty. You know you the stock intake with K&N drop-in flows very well and can support upwards of 400 wheel horsepower right? There have been numerous comparisons showing that with a tune, OR-X, and K&N drop-in the stock intake can really hold it's own against other CAIs.

In the end you're going to most likely buy the Air Raid anyways. So I'm wasting my time typing this. I was 20 once too. I owned an SRT4 back then. Great little car for what it was. I also bought useless mods that really didnt add to the performance aspect of the car.

Have fun modding kid.

I got to use that quote for the Wifey. She asked me "who buys a brand new car and pays extra to put parts on it?". I'm just getting started - LOL

In this case it's like buying an X-Box (Car), then buying games for a PS3 (no tune intake), and then buying the actual PS3 (tune) when the warranty on the X-Box runs out.

I am all for modding. I guess my approach is a little different than others. I like to "fix" where the factory cost savings went. The little things that could be better is where I always start. For example, our stock MT shifter really blows.. First thing to go in is an MGW. Our two piece DS really sucks too... Guess what? Time to replace it with a nice aluminum piece.

I think the new 5.0 makes enough power for most owners. It would be the last thing I mod. I am happy with the horsepower in stock trim.

I read you paid 2300 dollars for a warranty. Just curious, how long is your warranty for? How many years or miles does the warranty cover? I purchased my car new however never opted for any extra warranty. I only had the factory 3 year 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty and the 5 year 60,000 powetrain. Of course that's thrown out because I began modding with less than 5000 miles. This October will end my 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.

Thank goodness I have close friends who are mechanics and can fix stuff for free labor should it break on me.

I thing we have the same approach for the most part. Only mod thus far was a SLP exhaust. Should have gotten the MGW first. Will deal with the speakers next - my premium set you truly blows. The sub in the driver side door vibrates the plastic.

I paid $2300 for an extended warranty? No, I don't think I did. If I posted it somewhere please link me. I have no recollection of ever posting that information. Just because you modded at less than 5,000 miles doesn't mean your warranty is void. Familiarize yourself with the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.

I have the standard warranty. 3/36,000 and 5/60,000. I just went past my 3/36,000 so all I have left is my 5/60,000.

2011 Kona Blue

Sorry. I meant that for one quick stang. He said he paid 2300 for warranty .

Ibnzmonkey

I just noticed he bought a $2300 warranty to cover damage during break in... That is hilarious. Any of those issues could be brought up under the standard 3/36 or 5/60. You got swindled.

2011 Kona Blue

Well I thought maybe the 2300 dollars was for an extended warranty and curious as to how long that coverage was too. If someone got a 100,000 mile extended warranty that's a long time not to mod. Lol

Ibnzmonkey

100,000 miles and no modding? I couldn't do that. OP must have some serious patience.

I award OP with (1) Cool Spot...

2011 Kona Blue

I didnt last but only 5,000 miles and power mods began. I couldn't resist.

You won't gain anything from the Airraid with or without a tune. You're just wasting money.

And yet another person throwing around the MM Act but has no clue what it was actually put in place for.
