@robvas .... agreed. We tore down many engines in my youth at my grandfather's shop. You could easily see who ran their engines with longer oil change intervals and cheaper gas (valve damage) The minute you turn the key after an oil change acids, water vapors and contaminants build. use 91...
@Starship Enterprise ...... well' I'll be - just proves there are dumba$$es everywhere. We built a 383 stroker, marine version (different cam), for a guy. He called back a few months later said it was "running like shit" . It definitely was off when we ran it. Dumba$$ was using cheapest...
......that is just utter incompetence. I would love to see the PDI checklist that all Ford dealers are required to complete. They once checked-off proper clutch travel on my checklist and it was an automatic.
......any modification's beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I never expected to get more HP but thought I might get and believe I did get better airflow .... but to repeat my original post, I bought the kit because I thought it would look good, it was just that simple. Don't overthink it...
@m gunter ..... I do not believe the jacking rails will work on a convertible as they are not compatible with the factory frame stiffening rails that start at/under the trunk area and run forward to each side of the underbody. I would recommend you contact Steeda before purchasing.
@JimC[/USER] ..... filters are not oiled and air flow is better (measured it with a anemometer). IMO it's a nice look too. If $550.00 is too steep for anyone that's a valid opinion. It wasn't and isn't too steep for me.

Up-date on the Roush kit. Drove the Mustang about 150 miles, part of it a construction zone with a lot of dust. Got home and fingers crossed, lifted the hood hoping the fit of the Roush Kit lids would prevent dust from getting around the contact with the Ford bottom half of the air box. Happy to...
@RC53 ..... when the retailer told me they had no idea when the Corsa cold air intake kit would be ready I asked for my deposit back and bought the Roush. I tried to contact Corsa multiple times by phone and always got voicemail. Corsa used to be very responsive by phone.
Dealer disabled mine and it has never come back on. Start/Stop is very harmful to vehicles (many reasons already mentioned) one really bad on engine like. Unused gas gets dumped into cylinders and dilutes the engine oil reducing its effectiveness over time. Disable the stupid program a.s.a.p.
@Tarz825 ..... I agree and really liked Corsa products. We used their marine through hull switchable high performance exhausts on a lot of the marine HP engine builds we did. Great products 5 star appearance and longevity. My problem was neither Corsa nor their dealers seemed to have any idea...
@EgoBoost ..... Contact Info Roush performance. I emailed Sarah R (Senior Agent Customer Service) at [email protected] attention Sarah R, several times. She was awesome. Sent me cleaning instructions and knew what she was talking about. Imagine that.....a customer rep that actually...
@the713project ..... good information for us but a PITA for you. I have a convertible. maybe a different sealing process as I have never noticed moisture in that area - of course I will now REALLY check it. Must have been a hell of a leak to corrode your BCM so fast. Geez you have a 25 - mine is...
@Sinthor 5.56 ..... great question. I too did not want a "tacky" look that detracted from the appearance. I did get some stickers from Roush but IMO they were more for the rear window and that doesn't appeal to me. When I asked Roush they told me there were a lot of aftermarket "badges" etc...
@CT22 ..... was out with a friend who has a DH earlier this summer later at night. Some $hitty little rice rocket with 4 baby teens were in it. He ran it hard off 6 stop lights in a row. On the 7th pull the $hitty little rice rocket blew up, shooting parts and oil all over the road. Most of the...
@Stanzi ..... beautiful Mustang. The red Brembos look great with the body color. Why didn't you just pull a "gone in 60 seconds" - they wouldn't be able to catch you! :cool:
@Joe_Stang .... agree 100% and almost certainly better airflow. I think several manufacturers are/will offer aftermarket air intake tubing too and that's next on my list.
@Sconn1971 .... They might but these were the only ones I could get that were "dry" so if blue they would likely be oiled - which I am sure you and the rest of the forum would treat properly because of the knowledge base here. I have read that Corsa will soon have their version of clear air box...
