AEM Air Intake Gives Street Legal Horsepower Boost to 2011-2014 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6
- May 19, 2015
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 3.7L V6 models. AEM 2011-2014 Ford Mustang V6 air intake, number 22-686C, differs from the alternate AEM cold air intake system available for 2011-2014 3.7L models because AEM designers retained the use of the stock air filter box. Designing AEM cold air intake 22-686C 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 V6 3.7L 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 3.7L V6 models. Included in the AEM 50-state legal air intake system for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Ford Mustang V6 3.7L 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 22-686C has a smooth and consistent internal surface for reduced airflow turbulence. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow allows the Fifth Gen Ford Mustang V6 engine to work more efficiently. To complement the under hood appearance of the 2011-2014 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 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 V6 models a more aggressive engine sound.
In-house dyno testing shows that the AEM 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 50-state street legal air intake system produced a surprising estimated 6 horsepower and 7 lb-ft of torque maximum increase at the rear wheels of an otherwise stock 2012 Ford Mustang 3.7L with manual transmission. By simply reducing restriction, and improving airflow the AEM performance 2011-2014 Ford Mustang V6 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.
