unlatch clips on stock air box, remove top lid, remove filter, grab rubber cone type thing on side of air box. pull our said cone piece, replace air filter, replace top cover, relatch.

Im not really sure why its called an air silencer. I took mine out on every Mustang Ive owned and noticed absolutely no differences whatsoever.

FREEBIE!!!!!!!!!!!! [/MonsterGarage]

Get a Sawzall and just chop that puppy off...!






I'm just kidding!!!! :SNSign:

Seriously, remove the airbox like you are replacing the filter and then pull the rubber piece off and reinstall your air box. (What... 1 screw...?)

It actually does quiets and slows down the rush of incoming air a bit. You probably won't notice it if you have an exhaust system or other mods. But when I took mine off, I could actually hear the difference. I think i read somewhere that Ford had to put the silencer on there to pass some kind of sound decibel test that it has to pass administered by Big Brother...

removing the air silencer wont do sh1t for your car man. A CAI won't do much either. Buy some gears or something..

Free, but a waste of time. You won't gain any HP.

Hey, every little bit counts, right?

I do anything and everything to my car I can, with and without money. I've done just about every freemod to my car I could, like the speed sensitive volume, recline mod, legroom mod, IAC mod, etc. It's just the 'working on your car' aspect I like of them. That, and the cost.

Air silencer mod is not about hp it is about sound.

Then why in your Mod list, the first thing under it is K&N FIPK???
The guy knows you want get the HP effect if you put in gears or throw on a SC, but every little bit counts. It's all about unrestricting your breathing system. Tests have shown that removing the air silencer and installing a K&N frees up a few HP. Of course it's probably not a SOTP feel like you would get from installing a 4.10 gear, but what the hell.

If I don't get the KB supercharger, i'll probably get the JLT CAI. It's probably the best CAI on the market. I guarantee you'll see a HP difference by using that CAI....

I made the mistake of buying one for $100. I wish I had saved that money for something else.

Like what? A week's worth of gas....

What's $100 to a Big Baller like you? You're a Mustang owner. You're rich....
