    CAI Question

    From what I can tell by checking the CARB website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/amquery.php), K&N is the only street legal intake mod. Currently it's only certified for the '05, but given the fact the '06 is basically the same car it should pass when the results come out next...

    Need info .. V6 manual MPG

    I think mileage on cars is a lot lower than most people think it is... You realize exactly what it is when you've got the MPG gauge in front of you. Anyway, for what it's worth, I've been getting about 18.5 MPG with my V6 auto. For comparison I got about 20-22 MPG with my 2001 4 cyl Accord...

    Hello all! Looking for advice. :)

    Thanks for the answers :) So it sounds like I should be able to install the K&N FIPK (I checked and it is currently the only air intake mod that is CARB certified for the 05), then the muffler and then the headers and the stock tune should be able to handle it. I can then take it in for a...

    Hello all! Looking for advice. :)

    Good question :) A lot of it depends on numbers I don't have... I was looking at an article where they upgraded the headers, muffler (single axle-back) and air intake and retuned to use 93 octane gas http://www.jbaheaders.com/articles/50Mustang_306.pdf. In this article, the torque...

    Hello all! Looking for advice. :)

    Thanks for the opinions. I probably will stick with the K&N filter due to the strict requirements in CA, but I'll check and see if the others are street legal. I'm definitely not expecting miracles, but 3 mpg increase is a 16% gain given that I'm getting 18.5 now... that seems worthwhile to...

    Hello all! Looking for advice. :)

    It's my understanding that any mod you do that makes your engine more efficient (increase intake efficiency, exhaust efficiency, combustion percentage) will increase MPG if it is driven the same. The net result will be greater torque and as stated by a gentleman at Steeda in an article I read...

    Hello all! Looking for advice. :)

    Hiya all, I bought a V6 about 2 months ago. It came from the dealer as a 'Southern California Special'. Basically Pony Package, Interior Upgrade, Rally Stripes, Chrome exhaust tip and 'SCS' gas cap emblem on the back. So far I absolutely love it. I drive pretty mellow on the whole, but I...
