    Finished Installation
  16. Start the car and listen for any air or vacuum leaks, a vacuum leak could cause the check engine light to come on. If your check engine light does come on double check all your connections and make sure they are tight. A nice feature of the BBK CAI is that it doesnotrequire a computer retune for use on the 2005+ V6 Mustangs like other brands do.
  17. Now just admire the good looks and extra horsepower your new BBK cold air intake has to offer.
