Airaid 453-326 Mustang MXP CAI Blue Synthamax EcoBoost 2.3L 15

Today we are installing Airaid's MXP Series cold air intake kit with a blue SynthaMax filter on our 2015 EcoBoost Mustang. We have had a lot of success with Airaid's cold air intakes on some of our previous Mustangs and couldn't wait to try one on our EcoBoost project car.

The new intake features a specially designed one-piece rotomolded intake box that draws cool outside air from the factory air duct location while having a unique shape that will promote airflow around the entire surface of the SynthaMax filter to help feed your turbo properly. The new air box design also utilizes a lid with a Plexiglass window that will add to your underhood styling while keeping the filter isolated from hot engine compartment air and will allow you to keep tabs on filter condition.

Installation is pretty straight forward, but it was a little tight around the turbo area. Airaid's cold air intake can be installed in about an hour with only a few basic hand tools. Once installed the system looks great, the plexiglass cover gives a nice custom look under the hood and you can really hear the turbo spooling up. The best part, once installed, your 2015 EcoBoost will not require a tune.

Great info Steve (except that the 2.3 is speed density). Airaid makes great products. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

I installed mine in my gt pp a few weeks ago. Very high quality piece but no power gains even with a custom tune.

Great job on the video! It is very detailed on the installation and a great resource for anyone that wants to know exactly how the kit goes together! The one additional thing we'd like to point out is that the intake tube is actually oversize compared to the turbo inlet and we use a reducer coupler to connect the two. This way, should someone go to a bigger turbo down the road, all you'd need is a different coupler. :rockon:

It is a very nice piece and it has a different sound than stock....albeit very subtle. I don't think it did anything for power, even with a tune.
