No C.A.I. for 2013 Boss 302
Spent 2 full days in my garage, F******, with American Muscle Airaid CAI, and it DOES NOT fit or work, at all. As far as I can see, there is no, aftermarket CAI for 2013 Boss 302. Sent it back for refund, cost $72.00 to return it. Ford Racing has the correct CAI, next time I'll get it from them.

Is this the one you purchased?

You will need a Boss specific intake as the tube goes up and not down like the 5.0

I'm sorry to hear about the bad luck with the Airaid CAI. That kit should fit with the Boss manifold, we've test fit this set up a few times. However if you're interested in a different CAI I can definitely help you out with that. We would hate to loose you as a customer over a small Mistake. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make things right!
As far as the shipping cost goes, shoot me an email and I'll reimburse you for that. You shouldn't have to pay for a Mistake that you didn't make.

What made you look into a CAI?

Yes, American Muscle is second to none with customer service. I have dealt a great deal with the other big vendors. While I have nothing bad to say about any of them, AM just blows me away with their overall service.

If you see his older posts after he just got the Boss, he's said it repeatedly that the K&N filter would give him something like 40 horsepower or something like that ...
Personally, I tried it and put the paper one back in.

Well, AM did not refund my return shipping, they did issue a refund. I never claimed 40-80 hp gain, I quoted Ford Racing, 4-7 hp. After talking to Airaid and Hillbankmotorsports, I finally found the correct CAI for Boss 302. Airaid Part# 451-174, $607.90. Hillbanks has tried several, BBK, Roush, and Airaid. Airaid works best.
12-17 H.P. You can start with factory tune, then change to Bama, and pick up 20-30 more H.P.

Why don't you buy a quality proven CAI from the get go? Steeda makes one for the Boss, and you can make the JLT unit work with the Boss and both will make more power than that Airaid unit.

No effin way would I ever spend that kinda money on a CAI ... I don't care if it is carbon fiber, it could be made out of gold, I'm not spending that kinda money on a CAI ...
