How 2010-2014 Mustang Cold Air Intakes Work
Whether you’re looking at a basic 2010 V6 cold air intake or a more complicated system, air intakes all serve the same purpose – pulling air into the intake manifold. From the factory, Ford tends to favor intakes that are buried in the engine bay under a heat shield with a square air filter design. Sure, this is functional, but it's not very fun and doesn't sound that great unless you’re getting a GT500 or Boss 302. Cold air intakes help by being located above the engine, which looks and sounds cooler than your average stock airbox. Aside from looking and sounding great, what makes a CAI unique is the filter and its location. Due to its further location from the heat produced by the engine, more cold air reaches the intake manifold, which is more dense and better for combustion. Cold air intakes also come with better filters that maximize airflow while limiting any debris.
Benefits of 2010-2014 Mustang Cold Air Intakes
Cold air intakes for a Mustang offer a lot of performance benefits, especially if you pair them with a new Mustang manifold, tune, and exhaust. Regardless, a simple 2010 Mustang intake can improve your horsepower by 5 to 20 depending on the engine size, and they sound better than stock airboxes because you can actually hear the air flow in. Cold air intakes also improve fuel economy, so you will save money at the pump. Since the intake is pulling in more dense air, the fuel injection system doesn't have to dump as much fuel into the cylinders for combustion. It's also important to note that cold air intakes are easier to work with than stock options, and even a total beginner can install one in about an hour, so it's a great way to hone those wrench skills if you want to start tinkering. Another subtle benefit is that air filters on cold air intakes last longer than the stock options. Looking for something specific like the best 2010 Mustang GT intake?
