Performance Cold Air Intake System for Fox Body Mustang – 5.0L V8 Power & Response
This performance intake system is engineered to maximize your Mustang’s airflow efficiency. By replacing the dated and restrictive factory air box with a high-velocity induction path, this kit allows the legendary 5.0L V8 engine to pull in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and stronger power delivery across the entire power band, revitalizing the driving experience of this classic muscle car.
Tailored specifically for the 1987–1993 Fox Body chassis, this upgrade unlocks better engine efficiency without compromising the streetability of your V8. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your Mustang a deeper, more authoritative engine note under heavy load, giving the 5.0L a more aggressive character while the clean construction keeps the engine bay looking custom and purpose-built.
