Cold Air Intakes come in all different styles and materials but, BBK Performance has done it again for the 05-09 Mustang. These Cold Air Intakes are constructed from Aluminum, with Integral Mass Air Housing. This cold air intake gives you the HP that you were looking for your Mustang. These air intakes work fine with factory computers, and will give you a gain of 15-16 Rear Wheel Horsepower, with no add-ons and stock computer tune.
Before you go off to buy your BBK cold air intake there are a few things you should know about air intake systems. The air intake system supplies necessary oxygen to the engine for combustion. Most of the time OEM air intakes restrict the oxygen flow into the engine. Aftermarket intakes are designed for optimal air flow and draws cold air from the engine bay rather than hot air around the engine. In order to get the most performance the engine needs cold air because oxygen is in the most dense form when temperatures are low.
BBK cold air intake system are designed to direct cold air into the engine with minimal restriction. The first step BBK kept in mind is the simple cotton element filter which filters our the dust and dirt from your engine while still allowing the air to freely flow into the intake tube. To ensure the intake is sucking in cold air, BBK has supplied a heat shield to go around the filter to protect the cold air around the filter from engine heat. Last but not least is the cast aluminum intake tub which sends the air into the engine. The cast aluminum gives this BBK air intake a very sturdy and solid feel compared to the OEM intake tube.
Horsepower increases vary from application to application. Some applications have even improved gas mileage due to the engine working less hard to take in the air.
BBK makes great automotive parts and this is another one to go along with their great selection of parts. From Cold air intakes to Exhaust Pipes, BBK produces quality products backed by their warranty.
