Is there an CAI that you can put on that does not need a tune?

What about the 05-08 Mustang GT C&L Trueflow System with the no tune insert?
Anyone use this?

I know there are a couple, but I would really get a tuner with the cai. It makes the biggest difference, and you'll need one in the future if you do any significant mods, change gears,etc. I know it costs a bunch, but out of all my mods so far the cai and tune was the best! Good luck!

I have a BBK cai on my 05 GT coupe that doesn't require a tune.It does not have much of a power increase but it looks good.

Western Motorsports (WMS) intake is supposed to be great, and the Granatelli CAI does not need a tune either.

Roush doesn't require a tune but why bother? If you're not going to make most power stay stock.

Exactly. Just save your money so you can purchase the tuner and the intake. My personal recomendation is a VMP 93 octane tune and C&L with 88mm maf tube. I've seen the best numbers with this intake and Justin's tunes.
