Cold Air Intake for Ford Mustang LX GT (1989-1993) 5.0L V8 Engine

Unleash the Windsor 302: High-Flow Performance Intake for 1989-1993 Ford Mustang 5.0L V8

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Fox Body Ford Mustang owners running the legendary 5.0L Windsor High Output (HO) V8 who want to maximize throttle response and restore the aggressive induction growl that factory plastic piping mutes.

The Oxygen Starvation Headache: From the factory, your 1989-1993 Mustang was equipped with a restrictive, baffled air box designed for silence rather than speed. Over decades, these plastic components become brittle, heat-soaked, and clogged, effectively choking the Windsor 302 engine. When you mash the pedal, the engine struggles to pull air through the narrow factory snorkel, resulting in sluggish acceleration and a muffled exhaust note that doesn’t do the V8 justice.

The Engineering Solution: Our Cold Air Intake system replaces the entire restrictive assembly with a mandrel-bent T304 lightweight aluminum induction tube. By creating a high-velocity, direct path for oxygen to reach the intake manifold, we effectively reduce turbulence and lower intake air temperatures. This allows the 5.0L V8 to breathe freely, unlocking up to 10% more horsepower and a significantly sharper throttle response that you can feel the moment you leave the line.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers a measurable boost in both horsepower and torque by maximizing airflow through the stock manifold system, unlike restrictive paper filters.
• The Material Grade: Constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping. Unlike cheap plastic aftermarket kits that warp under engine bay heat or low-grade steel that corrodes, this system is built for long-term durability.
• The Install: A true direct-fit solution. This kit is engineered to utilize factory mounting points for a 60-minute installation using only basic hand tools—no drilling, cutting, or fabrication required.
