AIRAID Jr Kit for 2011-2014 Ford Mustang Helps Boosts Horsepower and Acceleration

The AIRAID 451-745 Jr. Air Intake System for the 2011-2014 Ford Mustang.

The AIRAID 451-745 Jr. air intake system includes an air filter and high-density polyethylene tube

Originally introduced five months before the normal start of the 1965 production year, the Ford Mustang ushered in the era of the “pony car” also known as the “muscle car.” Soon after its initial success Chevrolet, American Motors, and Chrysler released their own versions that included the Camaro, Firebird, Javelin, Barracuda, and Challenger. The Mustang is also identified as the car that inspired the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri.

A 200-cubic inch six-cylinder engine that delivered 101-horsepower and a 260-cubic inch V8 that produced 164-horsepower were available to power the initial models. However, the car was upgraded in time for the traditional opening of the 1965 model year to include two new engines - a modification of the six-cylinder, which offered a boost to 120-horsepower and an enhanced V8 that jumped the horsepower to 210.

Starting in 1969, Ford added new performance and decorative options including functional and non-functional air scoops, cable and pin hood tie downs, wing and chin spoilers. Performance packages were also unveiled including the Mach 1, the Boss 302, and Boss 429.

The fifth generation started off with a redesigned model that was similar to the late 1960s styling. A cast-iron block 4.0-liter SOHC V6 engine delivered 210-horsepower and an aluminum block 4.6-liter SOHC 3-valve Modular V8 with variable camshaft timing produced 300-horsepower for the GT.

The 2010 version went through an exterior enhancement that included sequential LED taillights and the introduction of a revised 4.6-liter V8 that produced 315-horsepower at 6000 rpm and 325-lb-ft of torque at 4255 rpm. This Mustang also featured new spring rates and dampers, traction and stability control system that was standard on all models.

A new 3.72-liter aluminum block V6 engine that weighed 40-pounds less than the previous version was introduced to power the 2011 Mustang. The engine delivered 305-horsepower and 280-lb-ft of torque. It featured 24 valves and Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing and a new dual exhaust. GT models got its boost from a 32-valve 5.0-liter engine that produced 412-horsepower and 390-lb-ft of torque.

The AIRAID 451-745 Jr kit is designed for the 2011 to 2014 Mustang with the 3.7-liter V6 engine. It is constructed to replace the factory intake tube and paper filter to create a straighter path for clean airflow to reach the engine.

The intake kit includes the AIRAID 851-500 dry synthetic direct-fit replacement filter and low restriction polyethylene intake tube. The washable and reusable air filter features a two-layer media of SYNTHAMAX® material. The inner filter media has two distinct layers featuring synthetic materials that have separate performance characteristics. The outer layer made of synthetic needle felt polyester material catches contaminants. The inner layer of wet-laid/chemical bonded rayon and polyester captures any contaminants that may have penetrated the first layer.

AIRAID offers an air filter cleaning kit that is specially formulated to cleanse and recharge the air filter after each 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving. So if you properly clean the filter when you are supposed to, then it will perform for the lifetime of your vehicle.

The air intake is custom made to fit 2011 to 2014 Mustangs. It is easy to install using common hand tools. Drilling is not required.

The AIRAID 451-745 Jr. intake kit is designed to fit the following vehicle applications:

AIRAID Air Intake fits vehicles with 3.6L V-6 and the 5.7 and 6.4 liter V8 engines

AIRAID Air Intake fits vehicles with 3.6L V-6 and 5.7 and 6.4 liter V8 engines

Owners of many 2011-2016 Chrysler 300, Chrysler 300C, Chrysler 300S, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger models can add power and torque with an AIRAID® Air Intake System using common tools in no time. AIRAID Intake Systems feature a computer-designed Cold Air Dam that isolates a massive AIRAID Premium Air Filter from hot under the hood air. The cold air charge is drawn through the filter and into the engine with a cross-linked high-density Polyethylene intake adaptor designed to further optimize airflow. AIRAID engineers really did their homework, as our in-house chassis dyno measured significant gains on the 5.7L Hemi as well as on the 6.4L SRT8 engine. When combined with the exceptional fit and finish typical of all AIRAID products, it adds up to performance with good looks to match!

350-210 & 351-210 Cold Air Dam Intake System

350-210 & 351-210 Cold Air Dam Intake System

AIRAID gives you two choices when adding power to these muscle cars. The first option is the AIRAID 350-210 Cold Air Dam Intake System that comes with an oiled cotton gauze & non-woven synthetic air filter. The second option is the AIRAID 351-210 Cold Air Dam Intake System that comes with an oil-free non-woven synthetic air filter. Both air intakes provide great air flow and filtration. Both of these air intakes fit the same vehicles which includes those with a 3.6L Pentastar V-6 base engine. The Pentastar engine has closed the power gap with its Hemi-powered big brothers better than previous V-6 engines were able to do. The AIRAID 351-210 and 350-210 intakes don't ignore the new V6 engine as there is coverage of this engine along with the 5.7 and 6.4 liter V8 engines. See the list below for specific Chrysler 300, Chrysler 300C, Chrysler 300S, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger models these intakes fit.

AIRAID Offers Air Intake Tubes for You Build It DIYers

The AIRAID 100-025 intake tube set for construction of custom air intake systems.

The 2 1/2-inch outside diameter, one-piece tube is roto-molded and offers many lengths and bends

Whether you are a car enthusiast who wants to achieve better performance from your car or whether you are a car enthusiast who wants to build a high performance car from scratch, AIRAID offers a variety of air intake components perfect for completing the task.

If you are inquiring about an air intake system, then you probably know what they do. However, for the small chance that you don’t, the air intake system draws air into the engine to assist in giving the proper balance of air/fuel mixture and the best possible performance and fuel mileage. The system includes a mass airflow sensor that monitors the amount of air that goes into the engine and controls the amount of fuel that is mixed with that air. That data is fed to the car’s computer, which serves as the power control module balancing everything out to ensure the best possible performance and fuel mileage of the engine.

You need to be certain that the air filter is clean. So it is advised that you check it every time you change the oil. AIRAID air filters are included in AIRAID air intake component kits and can be washed and reused. So there is no need to buy another filter when you discover that it is too dirty to perform properly. AIRAID also offers air filter cleaning kits that are formulated to clean the filter so that it can be reused.

If you want to construct an air intake system for your car, you may want to start off with the AIRAID 100-025 UBI (you build it) air intake tube set. This one-piece air intake tube includes a variety of bends and straight pipes you need to construct the intake piping for a custom air intake system. The 2-1/2-inch outside diameter one-piece free-flowing tube is roto-molded and can be cut to lengths or bends your project requires.

30°, 45°, 60° and 90° tube bends have been accomplished on the polyurethane tube that has a total weight of 5 pounds. You just measure off the size you need and cut off the piece.

The AIRAID 700-540 is a high performance, high airflow tapered conical air filter that is designed to boost horsepower and torque of the engine. Featuring multiple layers of cotton gauze and non-woven synthetic media and AIRAID’s filtration technology, this filter will efficiently block dirt particles in a way that ordinary cotton-gauze filters are unable to do. The flange inside diameter is 2.5-inches (65mm) making it ideal for the 100-025 tube. Its base outside diameter and large end diameter are 5.375-inches (137mm). Moreover, it is washable and reusable. If properly cleansed when necessary, this filter could be the only one you will ever own.

AIRAID offers intake tubes in a variety of sizes including 3-inches 100-300, 3.5-inches 100-350, 4-inches 100-400, 5-inches 100-500, and 6-inches 100-600.

It's Back to the Future for a Ford F-1

The Stone Custom Fab F1 includes a Wagner Tuning intercooler and AIRAID air intake system.

Stone Custom Fabrication's Ford F1 pickup truck with 3.5 liter Ecoboost and AIRAID intake

The Ford F-150 pickup truck has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1981, best selling pickup since 1977 and the best selling vehicle in Canada. The truck is equipped with a Ford 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost engine and a 2.7-liter version is now also available.

The F-150 is part of the F-Series of pickup trucks that started with the F-1 in 1948.

Serendipitously, Henry Bueno, General Manager of Wagner Tuning North America in Fresno, California, discovered an old F-1 parked in the lot of a Falken Tire shop next door. Wagner Tuning, which is headquartered in Germany, manufactures engine and performance products including intercoolers. The intercoolers have been used to improve the performance of EcoBoost engines.

Stone custom fab and Wagner Tuning 1951 F-1

The 1951 F1 debuted at the 2016 SEMA show

“The intercoolers we make are designed to replace the stock intercooler of the EcoBoost engine. Ours is a larger intercooler than the factory one and allows more air to go through for cooling purposes resulting in more power coming out of the turbo, “ explained Bueno.

The intercooler has been used to improve the performance of EcoBoost engines in the Ford F-150 and Expedition. The modified engine delivers 375-385 horsepower. That is an improvement of 20 to 30 horsepower over the stock EcoBoost engine.

“We wanted to perform an engine swap that would be one of the first to include an automatic transmission,” continued Bueno. “We wanted to change the game.”

You can see how Stone Fab basically had to shoehorn that engine into this truck

So when Bueno discovered the F1 truck, he notified Wagner Tuning in Germany. He sold the executives the idea of using the F1 as the platform that would showcase a Wagner enhanced 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost integrated with an automatic transmission. Once Wagner approved the project, Bueno asked Jacob Stone, owner of Stone Custom Fabrication in Fresno, to construct a chassis for the vehicle and perform the build.

“The goal was to have a 1951 F-1 built around the EcoBoost platform,” explained Stone. “Wagner found the products they wanted in the build and I called the companies to confirm that they wanted to participate and to arrange for the products to be sent to me.”

Besides a stock 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine, the products Stone collected included an intercooler from Wagner and a 400-338 air intake system from AIRAID that they had to modify to make it work with the engine swap.

Thanks to a ton of frame, suspension, and body work, the old F-1 sits hard on the Las Vegas tarmac

Stone and his crew began the project performing modifications on the F-1. They fabricated mounts for the engine and constructed a fuel cell with pump from scratch. The bed and fenders were modified, the rear was sectioned and raised about 3-inches and an inch was chopped from the bottom of the truck.

When inspecting the engine compartment of the F-1, Stone concluded that fitting everything in would be a difficult undertaking and he discovered that there wasn’t much room between the firewall and the dashboard.

Stone had to commission another shop in Fresno, Painless Wiring, to make a wiring harness to accommodate the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and to make certain that it worked properly with the transmission.

The AIRAID 400-338 air intake system.

The AIRAID 400-338 air intake system offers an estimated boost of 33-horsepower.

Despite the limited space, the crew was able to fit in the modified engine, the Ford automatic transmission, and custom hoses for the transmission and radiator into the engine compartment. They removed the stock firewall and items under the dash and constructed and placed a custom firewall.

With the area under the dash now vacant, many of the vehicle’s components were placed there including the brake and steering system, the front controls, the vehicle computer and fuse box. The crew also constructed a full chassis, control arms and suspension in-house.

Eduardo’s Upholstery in Fresno wrapped the entire interior including the doors in leather, Kool Hand Luke performed the exterior paintwork while Homie Paint Shop did the task in the engine compartment and interior.

Although Stone Custom Fabrication had the truck for about one year, the project took about four months. The vehicle debuted as a Wagner Tuning feature vehicle at the 2016 SEMA show.

Other products that are in the build include:

• Wagner Tuning Intercooler

• Dakota Digital Gauges

• AIRAID Cold Air Intake

• K&N Oil Filter

• Painless Wiring Wiring Harness
