Here is a pic of my setup.




Here is a link to a few of several threads about aftermarket intakes on the new mustang 5.0's...

Also to note per k&n's filter test, the stock airbox with an aftermarket drop in filter provides more airflow than the engine requires. This engine requires 721 cfm at 7500 rpm (most of us will never see that rpm), and according to k&ns drop in filter test, their filter flows 783.7 cfm through the stock airbox http://www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/33-2385.pdf giving us more than enough flow for our engine airflow requirement.

Here is a link to calculate engine airflow requirements...

Per ford, these engines operate at around 110% efficiency.
