[Now Available] AWE S-FLO Carbon Intake for 5.0L S650 Mustang GT & Dark Horse

[DevilDog]

Ordered one yesterday, I don't know how long before it arrives.
Maybe not a lot of power but add an exhaust and custom tune and the combo should be solid.
I have the double H-Pipe with resonators and a tune ordered, once I install the intake, I'll install the custom tune.
I bought it for power gain and the looks as well.

Thanks. Please let me know what you think. I've got the Ford/Borla Performance Extreme AVE exhaust system with x-pipe on my car.

How you like the H-pipe with the resonator is built in?

 

[fvinazdesert]

When I bought the Resonator H-Pipe it was part of a performance package I wanted to put together, sound was secondary but still important. My nephew's mustang with the resonator delete H-Pipe is too loud for me, what I wanted was the performance gain without that much sound.
This worked out really well, it does increase the sound but not as much and it's not as deep. No drone inside the cab at all.
I call it a more refined sound that "I" really like.

That’s exactly what I wondering. Trying to decide between regular H-pipe or the one you purchased.
Thank You

We built quite a few of these prior to launch. You should be receiving an email with your tracking information as soon as it leaves our facility. DM me if you have any questions during installation.

Any updates on your CAI?

Any updates on your CAI?

According to FedEx the intake will arrive today, and I'll install it after work.
I'll take a couple of pictures, a test drive and I'll get back to you later this evening.

 

[DevilDog]

Will do

Thank you.

Thank you.

Intake installed,

Took about 2 hours to remove and install.
The only advise I would give is to follow the instructions provided. The only thing I did different was put the rubber mount that goes on the mount post on "after the box is in place," you need every mm to install it and removing that rubber mount makes all the difference. It's easy to put on the rubber mount after the box is in place.
This only applies to the passenger side.

Looks good.

Taking it out for a test drive I notice:
It brings out the exhaust sound in a good way, enhances it. I would describe it as a "crisper sound" if that makes sense. You can definitely hear more exhaust Pop, and more often, I would think that has to do with more air flow.
Speaking of air flow, you can definitely feel the difference in throttle response. The car accelerates sooner and I feel the additional torque. The rear tires broke traction sooner, there is definitely a performance difference.

For me the installation of this intake was worth every penny. It's not cheap and maybe not the best "bang for your buck" but that's not what I was going for.
A supercharger is always going to be the best upgrade if you are looking for the most performance out of this engine, but I want a Naturally aspirated engine that gives me the low-end torque I need for cornering and still have traction.

Did I mention it looks good?

I have my suspension setup where I want it, the intake with my exhaust was the next step, tuning will be my next modification.

Great write up. Thank you. My car is still in storage. I plan on ordering one in a couple of weeks.

These really do look good! I love that the boxes are also CF, something I wish the Whipple Comp boxes were as well. Plus...I really like the green filters! Great write up!

 

[fvinazdesert]

Thanks, if you have any questions just let me know.

FYI, I ordered two extra filters with my order so I could change them without having to wait for the filters to dry after cleaning them.

Ordered the AWE CAI yesterday. Looking forward to getting it and installing it. I also ordered a Mishimoto aluminum coolant expansion tank. Not a big fan of the plastic tank.
