Cold Air Intake System for Ford Mustang (1994-1998) with 3.8L V6 Engine Chrome Red Silicone

Maximize Airflow for Your 1994-1998 Mustang Essex V6 with Chrome & Red Performance Intake

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1994-1998 Ford Mustang Base model owners running the 3.8L Essex V6 engine who want to wake up their SN95’s performance and sound profile.

The Problem: The stock intake on the Essex V6 was designed for silence and cost-cutting, not airflow. It uses a restrictive plastic airbox and pleated paper filters that starve the engine of oxygen, especially as the RPMs climb. This results in a "lazy" throttle feel and a muted engine note that doesn’t match the Mustang’s pony car heritage.

The Solution: We engineered this system to eliminate the factory bottlenecks. By utilizing mandrel-bent T304 lightweight aluminum piping and a high-flow washable filter, we provide a direct, high-velocity path for air to reach the throttle body. This setup corrects the factory air-starvation issues of the Essex V6, delivering sharper throttle response and a much-needed aggressive growl under acceleration.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Efficiency: By smoothing out the intake path and increasing volume, you can see gains in horsepower and torque by up to 10%, depending on your existing modifications.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Unlike cheap plastic tubes that retain engine bay heat, our lightweight aluminum piping helps dissipate heat faster while providing a show-quality chrome finish that won’t crack or fade over time.
• 60-Minute Bolt-On Install: This is a true "driveway upgrade." Using basic hand tools, you can replace the entire factory assembly in under an hour. No cutting or permanent modification to your Mustang is required.
