AEM Air Intake Gives 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L a Street Legal Horsepower Upgrade
- Mar 24, 2015
The Ford Mustang has been synonymous with performance since its introduction in 1964 and since 1994 AEM Induction Systems has been synonymous with improving horsepower through innovation. In an effort to improve horsepower and meet the needs of AEM cold air intake fans nationwide, AEM offers two performance air intake systems for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 models. AEM Ford Mustang GT and Boss 302 5.0L V8 air intake, number 22-684C, differs from the alternate AEM cold air intake system available for 2011-2014 5.0 V8 models because AEM designers retained the use of the stock air filter box. Designing AEM cold air intake 22-684C around the stock air filter box allowed AEM Intake designers to retain all factory connections, including stock emissions control equipment, to create a 50-state street legal air intake system. Installation of the AEM 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L 50-state street legal air intake is incredibly easy compared to the alternate AEM cold air intake and only requires minimal tools with reduced installation times.
The maze of accordion like intake tubing, and noise baffling installed at the factory adds a significant source of restriction to stock 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L and Boss 302 models. Included in the AEM 50-state legal air intake system for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Ford Mustang 5.0L V8 models is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube. This new aluminum AEM air intake tube is designed to overcome the restriction found in the stock air ducting. Restriction isn’t the only trouble with the stock air intake as it also creates turbulence in the incoming air. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube used in 22-684C has a smooth and consistent internal surface for reduced airflow turbulence. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow allows the Fifth Gen Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 engine to work more efficiently. To complement the under hood appearance of the 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 the intake tube is protected with a durable charcoal gray powder coat finish that will look great for years to come. An added benefit of the AEM mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube is that it will eliminate the stock intake noise baffling system. This will give 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L and Boss 302 V8 models a more aggressive engine sound. In-house dyno testing shows that the AEM 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 and Boss 302 50-state street legal air intake system produced a surprising estimated 9 horsepower and 11 lb-ft of torque maximum increase at the rear wheels of an otherwise stock 2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0. By simply reducing restriction, and improving airflow the AEM performance 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 50-state street legal air intake system is able to improve horsepower and torque delivery across the RPM range. Making usable horsepower increases in common RPM ranges is a design goal at AEM as this yields a performance upgrade that can be used even during normal driving situations.
AEM Dryflow air filters are performance designed to reduce restriction over typical paper air filters. The AEM 2011-2014 Ford Mustang 5.0L V8 50-state street legal air intake system includes AEM Dryflow replacement air filter 28-20431. Using an AEM Dryflow replacement air filter helps to reduce the restriction inherent to stock disposable paper air filters. AEM Dryflow air filters are built with a robust synthetic air filter media designed to help increase airflow, and provide outstanding engine protection without the need for air filter oil. AEM Dryflow replacement air filters are washable and reusable and can go up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under normal highway driving conditions. When it’s time to clean the air filter, it can be easily completed using the AEM air filter cleaner 1-1000. Cleaning is performed by following a simple four step process.
