Stock intake question

Quick question... Is the stock intake for the manual and auto the same? I am going back to stock bc my check engine keeps coming on but don't have my stock intake anymore. I am trading someone my JLT CAI plus cash for their intake.

The tube is different for the 2, 1 extra port on the automatic than the manual.
Manual

Auto

Take the Mustang out and hammer it. You get the same tunes, (and the same airflow as 99% of the CAI's being sold for the V6) with your stock air box setup.

I did it. Works great. Even use it with my 93 octane MPT tune.

I have FRPP Sport axlebacks. It's loud enough.

I've read your other posts Bucko and am following your advice... I'm sticking with the stock intake and K&N filter (after old one gets dirty).

You got an auto or manual?

I was trying to find a solution to modify the stock tube as well but didn't find any(SLP is making that kind of replacement for the Camaro, but not for the Mustang)! I am not sure, if cutting of the silencer really does the job. I ordered the K&N and I am going to paint it, I don't like the look of it. But I think without the silencer it will outperform the stock system. The disturbence of the airflow kills some power, about 3-4hp, and that will be eliminated by the system. If you wrap the tube with some kind of insulator you might improve the intake temp even further.
