C&L 95MM AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM FOR 03-04 COBRA MUSTANGS
 
For owners of the awesome 2003-2004 Cobra Mustang, we have several different upgrade options to increase the performance of your vehicle anywhere from 17 to 30 additional horsepower. All of these products can be installed by anyone in 15 minutes or less with standard hand tools. Do not be fooled by outrageous claims from others about filter upgrade kits.
Our $139 filter system is guaranteed to make as much horsepower as any other kit on the market. It comes with an Aluminum MAF adapter flange, and features a molded heat shield to protect the filter from engine compartment heat and to draw the cooler air in from the fenderwell. The REALISTIC gain for any high flow filter kit when installed on to your typical stock 2003-2004 Cobra Mustang is 17 HP. Slightly higher gains can be achieved on vehicles with overdrive pullies and tuning, but a 30 HP air filter swap is not realistic. Upgrading to our 95mm MAF unit will add an additional 6-7 HP over the filter kit (see dyno charts from independent testing below), and our new inlet tube will add some additional power on top of this. We will post dyno tests of the inlet tube as soon as we have charts available.
For those who have already purchased our 95mm MAF
system or our filter kit, our inlet pipe is available separately as part
#715. This upgrade is also compatible with most other cone filter kits
provided by other companies. We do not recommend the use of this pipe
with solid "cold air" tubes that re-locate the filter into the fender,
as they tend to attach to the front of the MAF in a fixed location, and
are not likely to properly line up with where our inlet pipe places the
air meter body. If you are not interested in upgrading your MAF unit,
you can purchase our filter kit (Part #X901) and our inlet pipe (Part
#715) together to replace everything in the intake assembly except the
mass airflow unit.

Another test of the 95mm C&L System on a 2003 Cobra using a Mustang
Dyno. The before test shows the vehicle with only a Borla cat back
exhaust installed on an otherwise stock vehicle. The baseline test with
no modifications measured in at 316 rear wheel horsepower.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 3/17/2006
We have received a report from a "concerned customer" who informed us that some people believe that the dyno chart at the bottom of this page has incorrect information. Apparently, people on internet web forums somehow believe that we "do not know what we are talking about" due to the fact that we state that a stock 2003-2004 Cobra made "only" 316 rear wheel horsepower on a MUSTANG dyno. Since "everyone knows that these cars make at least 360 rear wheel horsepower stock" and these people must be ignoring the first three charts on the page, we felt it necessary to explain. The first three charts on this page were tested using DYNOJET dynos, which is an inertia style dyno. The SAE corrected numbers that it delivers are what most people use when trying to compare horsepower numbers "on the internet", because it is the most commonly used type of dyno. The chart at the bottom of the page was generated from testing on a MUSTANG dynamometer, which is a load bearing dyno, and these dynos will typically read about 14% lower than the Dynojet numbers that most people are used to seeing.
If you take the baseline value that is mentioned (316) and multiply it by 1.14, you will 'amazingly' come up with a value of 360.24 HP as the "stock" adjusted value. In addition to this, if you take the peak "after" horsepower reading of 372.9 (which was measured with an exhaust upgrade and our air intake assembly) and multiply it by 1.14, you will achieve a value of 425.1 HP. If you look at the second dyno chart on this page, you will find that another vehicle with the similar modifications (exhaust upgrade and our air intake) just so happened to make 426.44 HP on a Dynojet, which is only 1.3 HP off from this adjusted value.
Even though the base values are lower when using a Mustang brand dyno, you will notice that the improvement of 22 rear wheel horsepower that was measured when testing our intake assembly was not substantially different than the gains shown in the first two dyno tests on this page.
If this doesn't make sense to you, then we strongly suggest that you do not "contribute" to the education of people in your community on the internet message boards. The caption under the last dyno chart explicitly states that this vehicle was tested on a Mustang dyno. We hope that this information will clear any confusion that might have existed in the mind of any internet "experts" who were unaware that different types of dynos exist and that they can actually deliver different horsepower readings.
