Cold Air Intake for Ford Mustang (1996-2004) 4.6L V8 Engine

Maximize Breathability: 1996-2004 Ford Mustang 4.6L Modular V8 Cold Air Intake System

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Ford Mustang owners running the 4.6L Modular V8 who want to restore lost performance, improve throttle response, and achieve a deeper, more aggressive engine note during daily driving or spirited weekend runs.

The Plastic Breath-Strangler: Your factory air box was engineered for silence and cost-efficiency, not raw speed. The stock 4.6L V8 intake system is plagued by restrictive baffles and corrugated plastic tubing that creates massive air turbulence. Over time, these factory rubber and plastic components become brittle, often leading to heat soak that robs your Mustang of the horsepower it was born with, leaving you with a sluggish, flat response when you step on the gas to pass.

The Engineering Solution: We have replaced the entire restrictive assembly with a high-flow, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum induction tube. By smoothing the air path and utilizing a high-efficiency conical filter, this system delivers a consistent, high-velocity stream of cold air directly to your throttle body. This isn’t just a filter swap; it’s a complete overhaul of your engine’s breathing capacity, engineered to unlock up to 10% more horsepower and torque while giving your engine bay a professional, sporty aesthetic.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers up to a 10% boost in horsepower and torque, providing a noticeable difference in acceleration and "off-the-line" punch compared to the restrictive factory box.
• Premium T304 Aluminum: Constructed from lightweight T304 aluminum piping, which dissipates heat faster and lasts significantly longer than generic plastic intakes or cheaper aluminized steel that is prone to corrosion.
• True Bolt-On Install: Designed to use OEM mounting points for a direct fit. Installation takes less than 60 minutes with basic hand tools—no cutting, drilling, or custom fabrication required.
