Roush Cold-Air Intake For 2011 Mustang GT 5.0
Roush Performance was one of the first companies to offer a cold-air intake package for the 2010 Mustang GT. And now news comes that the same system will bolt into your new 2011 Mustang GT, offering you additional power and efficiency right out of the box.
The new cold-air-intake replaces the stock 2011 Mustang GT filter housing with a true open element filter. The system uses a unique air shroud that seals against the bottom of the hood to assure that fresh, or “cold” air is breathed in by the engine.
Looking as it would have been designed by Ford itself is no surprise coming from Roush. The company is well known for its OEM level of fit and engineering. The new filter will have a retail price around $199. Installation will not require a re-tune in most cases either as the stock ECU can handle adjustments for the small variations this part provides.
The stock MAF sensor will bolt into the new system which we can expect will give your 2011 Mustang GT somewhere in the neighborhood of 10hp extra. Not bad for $199. It is an easy modification that most people can do in under an hour with standard tools.

The bullitt has a rubber seal all the way around except for the front.
When the hood is closed the cai is sealed and this keeps hot engine bay air from getting into the filter.
Only colder air from the front (outside) can get in.
Also, most of these setups use a rubber or composite intake tube instead of a metal tube to reduce heat soak which increases the temperature of the air as it enters the throttle body.
They state the Roush gives 10hp which is usally a best case guess and is likely only at the crank. No tune required cai's don't usually give much in the way of gains.

I haven't seen this particular Roush cai so I would only guess that it is a similar type of design as the Ford Racing bullitt cai.
