Does the tune void any warranties? Or is it dealers decision?
For everyone wondering about the sound tube and what to do with it- you remove it fully. Roush also gives you a plug for the firewall in the bag with the screws
My question is what is the sound tube... and is it important 😅 and why does it need to be removed?
@@goldenmyth3499 not sure what it does but you don’t “have” to remove it, unless you want some random tube jingling around in your engine bay.
Love your channel People, but I gotta say, the dyno numbers tell us nothing about the $400 intake value, because you RAN IT WITH A TUNE. Get the picture??
The entire point is you'll see almost no power gains without a tune. That's just common sense.
Lethal5.0 Common sense would be if they did the tune first, dynoed it on the oem intake, THEN swapped for the Roush intake, and dynoed it again. That's the only way to know how much hp the $400 intake gives. They failed to do that, so the dyno run was pointless.
@@shinymike4301 a tune is required to see gains for the new increase in flow, otherwise you just have sound. all tuners know this
@@shinymike4301 Obviously, the point of their video is to sell you a Roush intake....
@@lethal5.0 Then the intake is worthless.
Why dont you dyno test the CAI without the tune first ? So we customers can see the difference!
because the gain you get from the CAI without tune is 3hp to 7 hp and 4tq to 8 tq not that impressive for $400 dollars o and trust me i have a 2019 5.0 i already sold this cai to one of my friends for 300 so i lost 100 bucks and my car didn't go any faster from 0 to 60mph.
coyote gen 3 so what woulf u recommend my guy have a 2019 PP1 I really want to change my oem intake whats ur opinion ? Should I get a cai with a mod ?
@@Coyote.five.0 so essentially it's the tune and not the cai?
@@Fernando-fg2gt get a performance drop in filter like the K&N or if he really has deep pockets get a tune and a intake just make sure is like this one a close system so hot air doesn't get into your engine.
@@tonytebliberty the tune accounts for the extra air provided by the cai
I get they work better with a tune but since the point in this one is NO TUNE REQUIRED, everyone expects a no tune dyno. Really shady practice.
Yea I was thinking the same thing. Why not dyno it without a tune first??
@@nathanjualin2118 because they want to sell you something that does nothing so they can profit . Hence why you rarely see a 1/4 mile test before and after . The factory box is superior in every way . You think ford would go through all of these things like direct injection , changing the cylinder liner and raising redline for like 30hp if all they had to do was put a $200 piece of plastic ?
You guys are awesome. Mine should be here next week. Can't wait to put it on!
So what happened to the sound tube?!?! You disconnected it from the stock air box and then never mentioned it again.... Just left it dangling in the breeze?
Yeah, no mention of the sound tube????? What did you do, just throw it on the floor????? Bob H.
Yo what happened to the sound tube ?
What car are you dyno‘ ing in this video? Your stock numbers and after tune numbers are both ridiculous. Cmon AM I expect better. And you didn’t specify whether the air restrictor was taken out.
Ridiculous as in to low or what?
@@forgot2wipe high. The stock engine doesn’t dyno at that number and an intake and tune doesn’t add that power. They have since corrected the numbers in future videos. They knew this was silly. Full bolt on Mustangs barely make that on pump gas. Remember you’re watching a stores channel that’s selling you products.
@@TheCdM1981 yea very true they are tryna sell a product. So Ford says it makes 460hp. But in reality on the dyno it's a decent amount less?
@@forgot2wipe 460 engine is equal to about 400 wheel which is what a dyno reads. The 18 mustang is slightly under rated and produces stock about 410-420 wheel. Which is about 465hp engine. It does not produce 435+ wheel. And an intake does not make it 475 wheel. I had this intake with the air restrictor removed before I put my blower on. This intake is legitimately the exact same as a stock intake with the area restrictor in. You can call Roush and ask them to confirm what I just said they will.
Next time do one with out a tune that’s why we are here because it’s a no tune required
What tune did they use with cold air intake , Roush?
hi stef what exhaust were you guys useing because the vid where you guys was using the jlt intake and corsa full extractor exhaust system you made the same power 474
Yeah with a tune on 93! How much does it add after a tune with the stock box?
Does anybody know if you can add the intake cover on the 15-17 roush intake? I really want to get that specifically.
Didn't they make 474 to the rear, with a 18 Justin tested. With full bolt ons?
Kevin Washington yea, so basically this video just says that aftermarket exhaust/long tube set up is pointless lmao
Is this better than jlt?
What size is the MAF without the insert tube
Is this hotter Than stock closed box ? I heard mixed answers . I have mustang gt 2019 and thinking of getting this vs just changing my stock filter to air aide filter any suggestions?
How to clean up this dry filter?
Any one know we’re I can get that gromet? I lost mine
can you sell this intake to california everywhere i read nobody sells to ca
0:35 "we wanted to show you guys the full power potential behind the intake" No you didn't. You just conned thousands of people. This shows NOTHING about the potential behind the intake. It shows the potential of the tune. Disgusting con.
What's the numbers without a tune ????
HELP!!!! I bought this part and installed it but for some reason the piece that connects to the throttle body and the other piece where the mass air flow sensor goes has three ports for three hoses. But you only disconnect 2 so I was confused. Both American Muscle people told me to plug the port. But I highly doubt I’m suppose to. It’s actually the same as the piece for 2016-2017 model part. Which is weird cause all parts are exactly the same as the 2018-2019 model except for that one piece. I don’t know what to do anymore :/
Is your car Auto or manual? -Justin
Looks like I’m just going to save my money and supercharge my car.
Same lol
I thought this car made 435 stock when y’all first got it? Now it makes 440? If the car makes 460 crank then that accounts for 5% powertrain loss. Most people see 470 with full exhaust and e85 through the 10 speed. This is bs. You expect me to believe that a manual makes that much more power with just a tune and cold air? Either these numbers are fudged or they aren’t corrected and it’s a happy dyno.
Alex Marentes research. These 18 cars make closer to 490 stock. They underrate from the factory in the 18. They are making 430ish wheel bone stock. You really think bigger displacement higher compression and a better flowing manifold along with di is only good for 15 horse? Get a clue dude
Eric Pugh I own a 2018 gt. I do research lol. Has a jlt and Lund tune. Lund made 440 with tune and jlt through the manual. American muscle is just trying to sell parts and is fudging their numbers. Most other companies dynoed their cars in the 420s. Just another blind sheep who believes what these companies say. The 460 hp number from the factory is certified. Cars are not underrated from the factory anymore like they used to be.
Alex Marentes then don’t watch the video crybaby if your worried their scamming you
Knightmare5.0 lol the sheep will believe what they want to. You’ll be disappointed when you put a no tune cold air on your car and make no more power. Cold air and tune 18 cars usually make around 440. More than your car with full bolt ons lmao
@@alex.marentes crazy people believe these cars have 490hp , that makes them the slowest 500hp cars on earth , since nobody has tested more than a 12.5 -12.7 1/4 mile at 114-116mph . They aren't underrated at all and are about the same speed as the 2nd gen off the line thank to 2 overdrive gears.
That shit looks like a sink
Will this fit my 2015 GT that has 2018 manifold?
It may, but there still may be some clearance issues when you go to install this in the engine bay. We wouldn't be able to confirm fitment sadly! -Zach
I'm going to try it and report back.
Ryan did you get this intake? I have an 18 manifold as well.
10 mm socket? Oh no!
Like what a joke.. no tune required" after paired with tune" do you like treating people like they are stupid....
Shy not put the filter and the tube in the housing before sliding it into the compartment? Looks liek she don't know what the Fu** shes doing?... Kinda
Naw, it is easier to install the housing first then the filter after. Look at how the air filter sits under the lip of the inner fender structure. It's faster if you install it after. Not to mention it's not like you can't install the filter after the housing is already in the car....so does it really matter? Potato-potato or tomato-tomato. - Stephanie
Schooled!
Mega clickbait. I thought from the thumbnail that the CAI would produce all that extra horsepower, not because of the tune.
My experience owning Mustangs and Challengers is there was never more than 3 to 5 hp gain from just a cold air intake, you always need the tune, tbh, the cai is more of s show piece and looks good under the hood.
@@powerboatguy2308 That is wxactly right .Drop in a k&n filter and get the same gain for a sixth of the price.
camirocz wait what. Are you serious. So this is over priced and is the gain in Horsepower rally that much?
@@YNCX Yes i am dead serious.
@@YNCX He's correct. This is why I've always used K&N. Modded a V6 and got it to 367 wheel horsepower and just got a V8. The intakes don't do magical stuff like they're shown. Any intake really with a good tune will do
It’s crazy how fake your numbers were in the early release of the 18 S550. 470+ on an intake and a tune. Lmao. I have this intake along with full bolt on. And my air restrictor is removed and custom dyno tune. That’s the most ridiculous results I’ve ever seen. You should remove false advertisement vids like this. There’s absolutely no way some one can reproduce those numbers with just the Roush intake and tune even with the restrictor removed. For any one interested. Expect more realistically numbers around 440 wheel with the intake maybe. The car on average dynos 410 wheel stock. I have a full bolt on like I mentioned and I’m just hitting 470
Wheel.
I've seen several videos of people getting 430 rwhp stock.
Bullshit video.The title is misleading the intake without a tune gives gain of how many horses?Maybe 5.
Steph, you look great but you need to lose the belt buckle or use fender to protect the paint! And get a tool cart!
Or put the buckle on your hip.
Why you lying
patriot 21 lmao
The whole time I'm watching this, I'm more focued on her belt buckle scratching the fenders than the product and install lol
What about the sound tube? I’d like to see you remove it!
Does anyone know the fitment issues with these being out on the 2016 GT??
Almost 500 HP with just an intake and a tune?? Bro what the fuck...these projected intake numbers are misleading it’s the tune numbers.
Dude clickbait at it's worst lol you can't honestly believe these gains when the only thing close to gains like this na are the switch from 91/93 to e85, a cobrajet manifold or longtubes. Everything else is bullshit.
Shady test, if it doesn’t need a tune then why did you dyno it with a tune 😂😂😂
so they can sell more to suckers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, if you are running a tune, you remove the insert that goes into the MAF. Correct?
I just got a tune and have this cai, I've been trying to figure out what exactly it is I have to remove.
How do you show the power potential of the intake when most of the gains come from the tune?Shady way to feature your intake.Never does this tell us what the gains are from the $400 intake .
Dyno it with the hood close like the way you drive 😂😂😂. Power potential on a 18? NONE. You might even lose power.
Is there any real reason to not take that engine cover off?
No its for show
Where is the stock numbers with tune only? Dislike 👎

Is this intake CARB legal?
Yeah best to just leave that stupid looking engine cover off. That's what I did with mine so I'd never have to fool with it again. All it does is trap heat. The Mach 1 doesn't even come with one. They're just stupid.
quick question, can i do the cold air intake with a tune to beginwith? then add the long tube hearders in the future.
Great instructional video. Thank you AM... waiting for my order from you. 🏁
Did you end up getting this? Heard it's hotter than stock?
So I just installed this today and have some lessons learned for the next person who installs it. Don’t over torque your nut installing the intake to the car, I split the bolt in half so now I have no anchor screw there (which is fine because once everything else is installed it doesn’t move), and for removing the sound tube, use a ratcheting 10mm wrench. You can get it off manually (as I did cuz I don’t have a ratcheting wrench), but it’ll take you more time. I haven’t gotten my tune delivered yet so idk how the performance will go but I’ll update later.
yeah I did the same thing but for my ignition coil. I had to but a whole new valve cover
Does doing a tune affect warranty? I would prob. get tuned from an authorize ford tune shop.
When you give hp numbers I’m assuming that’s wheel horsepower
Bogus!
There is no way a stock mustang with a cold air intake is going to make 474hp at the wheels assuming its 15% loss thats a 540hp mustang basically stock with a tune either the dyno guys messed up or someone is lying
How much power would this add without a tune?
zero dude. Air intakes don't.
Three questions:
Why kind of dyno is this?
Are these SAE or STD numbers?
What were the dyno numbers before adding a tune with the intake?
-Cody
О чем тут говорят ??? Что нулевик это убийца поршневой ???
base line was with factory box with tune and 2nd was Roush CAI and tune?
Those baseline numbers are not accurate 18s make 410-420 at most stock. You’re telling me I can make close to 500 crank hp with just an intake and tune? These 5.0’s are an impressive platform but you aren’t getting close to 470 + wheel with just an intake, tune alone throw in some e85 and headers and now we are taking.
440hp and 396tq STD on my 2018. Bone stock. Sooo yes they are putting down those numbers man. All this with 98degree weather! 6sp manual as well. Now I don’t know what the automatics puts down but I assume it’s a bit less for obvious reasons.
440 wheel ?
Yes to the wheels.
I do agree with you that I doubt an intake and tune would add that much though, especially since their are several people who have done testing on the factory air intake and shown that it flows damn near as well as any aftermarket air intake.
@@wildfirewoodandmetalworx2409 440rwhp and yet no publication can go faster than 12.6 in the 1/4 mile in the 6speed . Generous dynos.
LOL! Pretty much everybody knows aftermarket air filters are like racing stickers. Imaginary horsepower increase.
474 hp just on tune and CAI? So no other mods? I’ve seen other 2018s with full bolt ons making 472. That car must have full exhaust already. Lol
Mine made 436 wheel bone stock. So I dont think your seeing the right thing lol
What do you mean by "full bolt on's"?
All generous dynos . No way the car is putting out 560hp at the crank when it was rated at 460hp stock with just an intake and tune . And before people tell me its underrated from the factory , let me remind you of its 12.6 1/4 mile at 115mph , which indicated about 460hp . It's all bullshit to sell useless parts .
Spiritcr1jsher you have a shitty tuner, plenty of videos out there to show mustangs in the 500whp with simple bolt ons like LTH, intake, cat back and tune.
@@JohanSalvattore it's called, I have real dyno numbers , not inflated ones . Not 500rwhp and a 12 4 1/4 mile time .
Overall my son and I thought the video was very helpful, but definitely not perfect. One item NOT mentioned is the fact that the wiring harness for connection to the MAF is very tight and that TWO plastic clamps holding the wiring should be cut to allow the wire to reach.
IMPORTANT: Does this fit on 2015 gt mustang? Especially that I can’t find airbox lid for roush intakr on 2015 mustang GT. I need the airbox lid so bad for 2015 roush intake any tips?
What tune did you guys use?? It never said what company and device was used for the tune.
Anyone know what tune this is?
Do you just leave the sound tube dangling like that? I seen other videos where they remove it and Roush provides a rubber seal for the firewall
Dammit test these with no tune first!!!
How will they steal money if they dyno what is actually advertised?
Watch some get this instead of getting better tires
Engine cover fits perfect on top intake. Actually better because it will make for a snug fitting intake
So is this better than the jlt intake
How do I take the engine sound tubing off
Whats the size of the cone
Wow this stock 18 make more wheel horse power than previous model crank horsepower !!
Steph is the best
I agree this is a shady practice from people who push CAIs. The HP gains are attributed to the following practices: 1) Running the dyno after installation with a tune. 2. Running 87 octane with the stock and 93 octane after CAI installation. 3. Running the dyno test with the hood open which allows the filter to get a maximum air flow. Come on, no one drives around with their hood open. I want to see a apple to apple comparison. Run the dyno before and after installation with the same fuel and close the hood.
This is a sealed intake
I’m glad you tested this on a manual transmission car
Thanks for watching! -Zach
I installed the cold air intake it gave me limp mode and check engine light came on
Check if the clamps are all the way clamped down and your connections are secure. Hope this helps!
Take the insert tube out works like a charm you don’t need a tune
Does Roush cold air intake need a tune?
No but if you want to maximize power gains it's best to tune.
Does this make more horsepower than the JLT intake with tune?
I have this set up on my 18 (JLT) and i have better throttle response and more power down low...altho it feels like i lost just a little up top
i was going to comment on this, they put out a video last week with a JLT and tune at 461hp. seems like this is a better option if wanting more whp.. which is why you do these.. still think they should do a tune on an otherwise stock car
Thomas Clark which one made more power?
Eric Pugh they claim this did 474 to the JLT 461 I believe. Lund shows a tune then tune with CAI and it was 9whp about 4-5 more then a drop in air filter which is the way I went. 350-400$ for 5-10whp isn’t worth it to me and the fact later on I plan on a whipple
How often do you have to take the whole thing out to clean or change the filter ?
You really don't have to take the whole thing out to change or clean the filter as far as we could tell. Anyone know otherwise?
@@bryanphelan1104 I'm late but to clean it all you have to do is un-clamp the one clamp to the cone of the intake and the cone itself pops right out. I modded a V6 for couple years and had one and just got a GT but this is how you clean the cone. And usually these can go without cleaning anywhere from 50,000-100,000 miles. Depending on brand and area you live in. Hope this helps!
Does it makes it extremely louder? I live in a residential area. I have a 2020 gt cs. I'd rather have a regular 5.0..
No. The intake doesn't add noise. To get a louder car you would need to modify your exhaust - which you're not doing at all here.
Engine covers are stupid anyways.
warrior5223 no they arent
@@steevemccloud5841 yes they are
no they aren't
What were the gains without a tune?
Cold air intakes are more of a show piece, you might get 3 to 5 HP at best, it is the tune that is driving the HP up.
Mark Tarver right, I’ve been told often times that after market intakes are pointless
