The major attention when it comes to aftermarket parts is given to the Mustang GT and Shelby GT500, but fortunately, now upgrades are starting to be offered by many companies for the Mustang V6 as well.
The cold air intake system from AEM featuring their patented Dryflow air filter and a direct bolt-on design is the latest. A mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube finished in gray (part #21-8123DC) or polished (21-8123DP), an air box with removable top, heavy duty 3/16? brackets and double-wound hose clamps are also included in the system.
According to AEM its intake flows more air than the stock system and appearently, they have the dyno numbers to prove it. Their testing shows that the AEM intake provides a max gain of six horsepower @ 3500 rpm and 9 lb-ft torque @ 3400 rpm. Interestingly, the AEM intake doesn’t provide any benefit at higher rpms, with the dyno showing identical horsepower and a loss of two lb-ft torque @ 7000 rpm.
A limited lifetime warranty is offered by AEM in order to back up the intake for the Mustang V6.
Retail pricing is listed at $499.00.
