C&L COMPLETE MAF SYSTEM
FOR 2005 MUSTANG GT
C&L is pleased to announce ANOTHER
FIRST for Mustang enthusiasts. Owners of the cool new 2005 GT Mustang will love
the complete package that we have developed for these vehicles. So much more
than a "cold air" kit, this is a complete system that truly addresses every
aspect of improving the air intake on the all-new Mustang. As a complete
throttle-body forward package, the entire factory air intake assembly is
replaced with all new components. While others will try to sell a "cold air"
package that consists of a cone filter and an exhaust pipe tube based mass
airflow housing, only our package comes with an all-new (patent pending) cast
inlet pipe and a CNC machined aluminum mass airflow housing.
Dyno testing the
2005 GT has shown that the computer is so sensitive to airflow changes that a
computer modification is necessary in order to control the air/fuel ratio at the
proper level. Installing this air intake assembly on a 2005 GT without any
tuning will result in a leaner-than-ideal 14:1 air/fuel ratio. While certainly
not lean enough to cause engine durablility concerns, it is leaner than what is
desired for optimum performance. Even when replacing the air filter ONLY to a
higher flow assembly, the air/fuel ratio leans out at an alarming rate. This
means that any 2005 Mustang owner who is interested in modifying their new car
for better performance will have to use some form of tuning, and we feel that we
have found the best solution.
To make
things as easy as possible for the end user, we have worked closely with
Diablosport to offer a simple computer adjustment and tuning option for the 2005
Mustang GT. Effective immediately, all 2005 capable Predator handheld tuners
will feature a profile setting specific to our new air intake assembly. With
this tuner, you will have the ability to not only make the adjustments necessary
for the new air inlet assembly, but also control the air/fuel ratio and timing
level based upon the octane quality of the fuel that you are using. By simply
slecting the octane quality that you will be running in the vehicle, the tuner
will automatically re-flash the processor with the appropriate fuel and timing
adjustments. Most importantly, what also makes this system superior to other
options is that you have the personal capability to make further adjustments in
the future to both your air/fuel and timing levels as you make other changes to
your vehicle. This means that any changes that you make in the future can be
easily compensated for using the tuner without the need to rely on someone else
to "re-flash" your handheld tuner. This keeps you from having to rely on others
to make future adjustments, and puts YOU in control!
Installing
the tune from the Predator is as easy as 4 simple steps...
- Plug the tuner into the service port and select "Performance" from the main
menu.
- Select the octane level of the fuel that you will be running in the vehicle.
- At the next screen select "Modify" and then select "C&L Intake Assembly"
from the menu.
- Hit "escape" and the tuner will ask if you want to install. Select "yes" and
the rest is done automatically!
Notice the dyno chart provided to us
by Diablosport testing our inlet assembly and development of the 2005 capable
Predator. This chart shows the actual HP and Torque gain realized from the
installation of our air intake system only, with no tuning adjustments made to
increase timing or fine-tune the air/fuel ratio. With adjustments for the higher
octane fuel, you can expect to see a respectable horsepower gain above and
beyond what is shown in the enclosed graph. Since the use of a tuning device is
vital to upgrading these vehicles, we are offering our intake assembly two

numbers for your consideration but we were really impressed with the
'uncorrected' figures, as that is how much actual power was being applied to the
rear wheels during the testing. |
ways. For those
who are interested in having their vehicle tuned by a shop that is convenient to
them, you may purchase our complete air intake system at a suggested price of
$389. (Click Here) For those who want to purchase this intake system with the new 2005
capable Diablo Predator as a combo package, they are available together for
$749.(Click Here) If you already have another filter kit installed on your vehicle and would
like to purchase our inlet pipe separately (which shows a 5-6 HP improvement
with no tuning adjustmens necessary) it is available for $159, (Click Here) but we cannot
guarantee exact filter shroud fit quality when using one sourced from another
company. If you choose to purchase the intake system without the Predator tuner,
we strongly reccomend that you have the vehicle tuned in person on the dyno by a
competent shop.
Both our new air intake system and the 2005 capable Predator are in
production, and are available now for immediate purchase. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact us during our regular business hours at
