Get back some of that high end horsepower and torque with a Mustang Intake Manifold and Plenum from AmericanMuscle. Your 5.0 2010-2014 Pony engine was designed to perform well at the low end, but chokes off the air supply to the motor once you start laying on the RPMs. So by adding a Mustang Intake Manifold and Plenum, along with other great Engine Parts like a Mustang Shaker Systems and Mustang Alternators, you can add some big time HP and Torque numbers to your Stang.
Benefits of Installing an Aftermarket Intake Manifold
The exhaust manifold is responsible for sending clean air to your engine, and evenly distributing it amongst the cylinders. While stock intake manifolds often hold back a little bit of power so that they can reduce sound or maximize space, aftermarket intake manifolds have no such concerns. By installing an aftermarket intake manifold on your fifth generation Mustang, you can maximize the airflow to the engine. That means that you’ll likely see a performance boost. Increased airflow means increased power, so you can expect to see more horsepower and torque when you smash your right foot to the floor. And even though there will be more power in your Mustang, you’ll also likely see a fuel mileage increase thanks to the improved efficiency of the airflow.
What to Know Before Upgrading Your 2010-2014 Mustang GT Intake Manifold
While intake manifolds are a great way to increase power output in your Mustang, there are a few things that you should be aware of. Usually when an aftermarket intake manifold is installed, it will need to be recalibrated. Without a proper recalibration, you might not actually get any of the performance benefits of a new intake manifold. Installing a new intake manifold is also likely to void your vehicle’s warranty, though if you have a 2010-2014 Mustang, then it’s highly unlikely to be under warranty. In some regions, aftermarket intake manifolds can keep your car from being street legal, so always make sure you’re staying within the law.
What Is a Plenum?
The plenum is the reservoir at the top of the intake manifold. It essentially stores all of the reserved air, so that it’s ready to be sent to the cylinders. In general, intake manifolds with larger plenums have greater airflow, and thus greater performance. Some aftermarket intake manifolds have split plenums, which can aid performance while also making the intake manifold easier to clean. If you’re ready to see a power boost for your 2010-2014 Mustang, then it might be time to consider an aftermarket intake manifold.
