Opinions? Anyone hear anything about these yet?

 

Looks good,didnt say anything about a tune or not needing one.

 

I have several comments and observations. Firstly, K&N is a fairly high profile company. Secondly, unlike 30 years ago, nowadays EVERYBODY has access to a dyno. It would be a simple matter to make back to back runs to see if their claims are true. My best friend is a lawyer and he would LOVE to sue a large company over false claims. As for the dyno report itself, they tested a 2014 Mustang on 3/20/13. Were the 14's even available then, and if so, is it possible to already have accumulated almost 11,000 miles as stated? Notice how low the power was: 278 in SECOND gear. Who dyno's in second gear? The first two sentences of the description are interesting. They refer to the original ponycar being introduced in 1964 and now, "over 50 years later," it's still the leader. Sounds like fuzzy math. Lastly they talk about how the latest 5.0 makes over 400 "break" horsepower. Minor points? Maybe, but it doesn't instill me with confidence. Give K&N a pass? I'll let you decide.

 

Yes on a '14 Mustang around in March.
11k on it? if you drove the hell out of it.
2nd gear dyno? moronic.
over 400 BHP? yup 412 in the first two years, 420 now.

 

He's was referring to the "break" instead of "brake" hp. Just more marketing bs, and people who know nothing about cars writing the ads. There's enough data out to show there isn't that to be gained on our cars from a CAI.
