Thinking about installing cold air induction on my 2012. The system is reasonably priced but dealership wants $260.00 to install. Some people I have talked to said install it yourself. Well first I am definately not a mechanic however I believe I could manage the install. The dealer stated that once the o2 sensor was installed on the system, if the car was not put on their machine to make necessary adjustments the car would go beserk. Is this true or just BS. Any help would be appreciated.
It looks easy enough. Maybe the dealership meant it was $260.00 for the tune job once it was installed, but if there is no substantial performance gains, its probably not worth the expense. Thanks for the help.$260 to install what exactly?? To me a cold air induction is an intake tube and filter, 15 minutes 20 tops.

Its a 2012 - v6. Im not real sure, I know there are alot of different ones on the market. I have been told different things about rather are not its really worth it for the amount of extra hp you would get. I posted earlier that the dealership wanted $260.00 dollars for install. I think what they were explaining is that its not so much installing the kit, I can do that, it must be for the tune up after its been installed. I dont know how true that is. Im not a mechanic so I woudnt know.Is this a 2012 Mustang? If so, 3.7 or 5.0? Which cold air kit are you thinking about installing?
Okay, let me see if I have this straight. I can install the system myself, however I will still need to have a tune done ? About how much will it cost to have this done ? I know this sounds like Im simple, but I know absolutely nothing about doing this kind of mechanical stuff. Thats why I seek advice from people like you that do know what you are doing.There's no way they're tuning the car for $260. The tuner costs more than that. Anyway, a good cold air (like AirAid) & tuner combo is worth noticeable power on a 2012-V6. We've had good results with them.
You'd have to be magnificently incompetent to not manage this one on your own. It's a few turns of a screwdriver and a socket wrench. Should take about a 1/2 hour total. That said, you're wasting your money putting this on as there's pretty much zero performance there, unless you tune.
"O2 sensor" lol...that's stuck in the exhaust pipes. The mass air flow sensor is in the intake. Idiots. I wouldn't let them touch the car.
