This is the Airaid modular intake tube for the 2015 and newer EcoBoost Mustang.

This intake tube works with the factory airbox and it's gonna look a lot better under the

hood than the factory intake tube does.

The factory inlet tube is small and weirdly shaped, so this one will look cleaner and

have no sound deadening [SP] baffles on the inside.

This intake tube gives you a way to get a little bit more air to your EcoBoost without

having to buy a cold air intake.

The install for this easy.

It's a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and you can plan on spending a half

an hour getting this on the car.

Currently Airaid is the only company out there that's offering just an intake tube by itself

for the EcoBoost.

The only other way that you can get a new intake tube is if you purchase a cold air

intake and may be just install the intake tube and leave the rest of the cold air kit

to the side.

But that is going to be a waste of money.

Depending on what cold air kit you go with, you're gonna be spending upwards of $300,

which is double the price of this tube by itself.

So Airaid is giving you a way to clean up your under hood appearance, open up some sound

and float [SP] a little bit more air to the EcoBoost, without having to purchase an entire

new cold air intake setup, and all while keeping your stock airbox.

I know that there are a lot of people out there that are fans of the stock airbox and

we've seen here that the stock airbox does perform on these cars.

And just like a cold air intake with a EcoBoost, this does not require a tune.

It's a direct fit replacement and you don't have to modify anything to get this on your

car.

You'll get the intake tube, new couplers and new hose clamps too.

So this is going to be ready to go right out of the box.

As far as price, you can expect to spend just over $150 for this.

Currently, this is the only intake tube that you can purchase on its own.

If you wanted another brand, you need to purchase a cold air intake kit, which is going to come

with new filter housing setup and a new filter.

This is going to be your only option if you wanted to keep your stock airbox and change

out the intake tube without having to buy a complete cold air intake.

When it comes to the install you're looking at a one out of three wrenches in the difficulty

meter, you can plan on spending a half an hour, may be an hour to get this on the car.

You're just looking at swapping out your inlet tube and nothing more.

You need a basic socket set and that's it.

All right, so the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna loosen our clamps so we

can get our intake tube off.

There are only two clamps so we have couple disconnections to make and that's really all

it's gonna take.

So the first clamp I'm gonna loosen is right here at the airbox.

You don't have to remove it all the way, you just have to make it loose enough so that

you can slide this tube off, and then the next clamp is gonna be down there right by

our turbo.

So this is gonna be a little bit of a tight squeeze.

I added another extension onto my ratchet setup here just so that I can reach this.

Next we're gonna disconnect our PCV and our turbo bypass lines.

We're gonna wiggle the tube because it should be free at that point.

So now that everything is loose, we can just pull this tube out.

So next we have to prepare the Airaid intake tube, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna

insert this grommet and aluminum fitting into the tube.

So we'll put the grommet in first.

Basically, you can see how there is a line in the middle.

You are just trying to get that through the tube so the grommet sits on either side of

the tube.

I'm gonna take the aluminum fitting and insert that.

So now our aluminum fitting is inside the grommet and the intake tube.

Next we're gonna slide our reducer and our clamps onto the turbo side of the intake.

Gonna leave the clamps loose for now, but I'm gonna tighten this one down just enough

so that it stays on.

We're gonna do the same thing on the other side.

And now we're all ready to get this put in the car.

So now we're just gonna slide this back into place.

You guys can start with whatever end works easier for you, I'm just gonna try and get

this in there and see how it works out.

All right so this is a little bit of a tight squeeze, but basically I'm just going to be

trying to get this coupler over our turbo inlet here.

Now that I have the coupler over the turbo inlet, I am just going to tighten the clamp

down.

And while we're at this end of the tube, we're gonna plug in our turbo bypass line and our

PCV.

So we have one more clamp to tight up here and of course we gotta get our Airaid sticker

on the inlet tube.

That's gonna wrap things up for the Airaid modular intake tube for the 2015 and newer

EcoBoost Mustang.
