Nobody makes one for the 2.3L but there are some you can adapt to fit.

Look in the tech articles sticky...

It Depends on what year your mustang is. If it is a 91 or newer then you wont be able to use a cold air intake due to the MAF sensor that has to be there.

I saw today some piping from Spectre at Autozone, that supposely lets you build your own custom CAI for any car. I've been wandering if this stuff could work on MAF'ed 2.3Ls.

Hi,

I tried it on my DP 2.3 and i couldnt get it to work. Im probably just going to do the Air Box mod and remove the silencer for now.

Hi,

Theres a few threads about removing the silencer/baffle from the inside of the intake tube that sits between the TB and the Air Box.

Hi,

It is a good idea seeing as airflow is restricted. The more air the better

being that there is a inner fender there would it be better just to leave it inside the engine compartment or somewhere up front? I had a gt front bumper before on another car and I stuck the air filter where one of the fog lights was....just a question
