So after just under 90 minutes my Roush Cold Air Intake was installed and ready to go on the mustang … with very little mechanical experience I have to say, I have exceeded my own expectations!

Up to 29hp gains … no tune needed … 74% less restriction … all the reasons why it had to be a Roush Cold Air Intake! Let’s start with the install …

I started by disconnecting the factory air kit, remembering to save the gromits and inserts from the factory air box. The Roush airbox slots together easily and is easy to be installed where the stock airbox used to sit. Now time for the fiddly part, the harness for the IAT sensor just about fits around the Roush airbox, you have to remove a few clips to give enough slack to carefully manoeuvre around the airbox – this part is very time consuming but eventually manageable. Once the IAT sensor is connected and the rest of the air kit connected at the turbo you are good to go.

Performance wise, I don’t notice much difference but realistically I wasn’t expecting anything major, at least not until I get a tune. The woosh sound coming from the engine bay as the turbo kicks in is a nice difference and let be honest … it does look pretty cool!

Although Roush claim ‘no tune needed’ and ‘up to 29hp gains’ I look forward to seeing how it performs after a tune in early 2020! Will keep you guys posted, but all in all, I am very impressed, easy install, looks great and sounds great, I would give it a solid 4/5.
