Cold Air Intake for Ford Mustang (1999-2004) 3.8L 3.9L V6 Engine

Give your V6 Mustang the airflow upgrade it's been asking for. This 3.50" cold air intake with heat shield delivers improved throttle response and enhanced induction sound—no tune required.

More Air, Better Response, Zero Complications

The SN95 Mustang V6 has earned its reputation as a reliable daily driver and a solid platform for basic performance upgrades. But Ford's factory intake system wasn't designed with maximum airflow in mind—it was built to meet cost targets and emissions standards. That restrictive setup limits how efficiently your 3.8L or 3.9L V6 can breathe.

This cold air intake system replaces the factory restriction with a 3.50" powder-coated tube and includes a heat shield to help draw in cooler, denser air. The larger diameter means your engine can pull more freely across the entire RPM range. You'll notice sharper throttle response, smoother acceleration, and a more aggressive intake sound when you press the gas. Best of all, it's a true bolt-on upgrade—no tuning or computer reprogramming required.

Key Features at a Glance

• 3.50" Powder-Coated Intake Tube: Larger diameter reduces restriction and improves airflow throughout the RPM range.
• Includes Heat Shield: Helps isolate intake air from engine bay heat for denser, cooler air delivery.
• Dry Flow Filter: No oiling required—clean maintenance with excellent filtration performance.
• No Tune Required: Plug-and-play design works with your factory ECU calibration.
• Improved Throttle Response: Feel the difference every time you accelerate—quicker, more immediate power delivery.
• Aggressive Induction Sound: Enjoy a deeper, sportier intake note that brings character to your V6.

Installation & Fitment

This intake is designed as a bolt-on upgrade and typically takes under an hour to install with basic hand tools. You'll need to reuse your factory MAF housing and some of the original airbox hardware (bolts and grommets) to mount the included heat shield. Instructions are not included, but the installation follows factory mounting points. If you're not comfortable working under the hood, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and secure connections.

Durable Construction for Daily Driving

The powder-coated finish isn't just for looks—it protects the intake tube from corrosion and stands up to underhood heat and vibration. The dry flow filter requires no oiling, making maintenance simple: just remove it, clean it, and reinstall. The included heat shield helps keep intake temps down by separating the filter from engine heat, which means denser air and better performance consistency.

What You'll Gain

• Better Airflow: The 3.50" tube reduces restriction and lets your engine breathe more freely.
• Sharper Response: Improved throttle sensitivity makes your Mustang feel more alive off the line.
• Enhanced Sound: A deeper, more aggressive intake note under acceleration.
