AIRAID Jr. Kit Air Intake System Makes 5.0L Ford Mustang Performance Affordable

Feb 15, 2017

Costs are kept low by replacing only the most egregious components

The AIRAID Jr. kit specifically targets the most restrictive elements of the Mustang’s OE intake

When the 5.0L Ford “Coyote” V8 was introduced in 2011, everyone in the business of making OEM stock cars faster could see that the Blue Oval engineers had allowed for improved air flow in their design. Then in 2015, the engine was updated further. The cylinder heads feature sizeable 193cc intake ports along with two 37mm intake valves and two 31mm exhaust valves per cylinder, each activated by roller finger followers. Even the head bolts were upgraded to handle additional combustion pressure. The composite intake manifold features an 83mm inlet and 80mm throttle body.

The engine is built to rev as well, exemplified by the forged steel crank good for (over) 7000 rpm. High engine speeds need plenty of fresh air to continue to deliver power at those speeds.

Finally, the V-8 Mustang is fitted with a large diameter exhaust system. A key to making power is to get spent gases out of the combustion chamber as quickly and efficiently as possible and the dual exhaust goes a long way to help the cause.

To improve the inflow of air into the engine, AIRAID has developed the AIRAID 451-732 Jr. intake kit, which replaces only those components in the intake system that most limit performance, while leaving the other, less critical, parts in place.

While the AIRAID Jr. kit is a more affordable solution, you won’t achieve quite the same power gains as a full-on AIRAID kit. Though it’s a great starting point for enthusiasts on a budget or for those who’ve never installed an aftermarket intake system and want to see what kind of difference one can make.

Installaton is simple as only the stock filter is replaced and the OE air hose is swapped

The AIRAID Jr. kit comes with detailed instructions and can be installed on a Saturday morning

The application for this AIRAID Jr kit is the fabulous 2015 – 2017 Ford Mustang, equipped with the 5.0L V8. With its four valve per cylinder, high-capacity fuel injection, and sophisticated ECU an engine with the breathing ability of the 5.0L V-8 could make good use of a larger quantity of intake air. And this is where the AIRAID 451-732 Jr. kit comes in.

The AIRAID 451-732 Jr. kit specifically targets the most restrictive elements of the Mustang’s factory intake system, the intake tube and the paper filter, in order to help boost power and acceleration. The AIRAID Jr. kit consists of an AIRAID premium dry synthetic direct-fit replacement filter and an AIRAID modular intake tube.

The 451-732 kit is custom made to fit 2015 – 2017 V-8 Ford Mustangs and is easy to install, comes with detailed instructions, can be installed in a morning with only common hand tools, and requires no drilling.

And of course the 451-732 is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple.
