Cyber Orange "Marigold" Maverick build w/ side exit exhaust, CAI, 20" wheels, stripes

Always nice to see individual mods. I will say that without a airbox you will entrain warm air (from engine compartment) and reduce any “cold air intake” potential.

Wheels are 20x9 et40 and tires are 255/45r20

Freaking nice man. Looks great. Glad to see some people doing performance mods. Since you modified intake/exhaust do you see yourself doing a tune down the road? I've been debating keeping it stock but after this I may do similar performance mods.

Yes probably the race chip tune.

Cold air intake for a turbo is wasted money. When turbo compress intake air it heats up (a lot). It needs to be cooler between turbo and MAF.
High flow is goal for increased EB performance.

Really awesome mods. I think the black stripes are keepers!

Actually just on Amazon! It’s a mustang kit. I’m leaning towards taking these black ones off though and ordering a grey kit instead. Decisions decisions!

The strips look badass, think you could drop the Amazon link? Nice build so far! Glad to see you’re loving the Mav.

Some of us have money to "waste". Not everything needs to be for sheer performance. The love of the automobile is more that pure function. This is fine. We will each trek our own course here. OP is only sharing not asking. Your point is however noted. (Goes to install my cai)

Great looking mods! Here's a question I have...when you make mods to a vehicle still in warranty, will Ford come back and try to claim you voided the warranty by doing the modifications if you actually need warranty service? I have no idea how that works.

And I was making a factual point not an opinion on what to spend money on. I love a well appointed engine bay and I know it will not help performance.

imo depending on the routing a CAI can maybe net you a few ponies, certainly less than NA, and nothin the good ole butt dyno will notice. it wouldnt be worth it, only thing to be gained may be noise & throttle response if at all. but i suspect you could gain 1 or 2. just my opinion however one thing we all know: you need the k&n stickers, and they add 20 hp under the hood, 50 when on the exterior kidding!

To each their own... however, show me one performance car that doesn’t have a cold air intake.

My “wasted money” as he called it was very minimum. One piece of pipe and a filter that did make a noticeable difference. The noise was just a bonus And yes, stickers are everything

I’m not too concerned. If I did need to put the stock exhaust back on, it would take 5 minutes. I didn’t drill any extra holes underneath either.

It is a mustang decal kit!
