VMP Performance announced a new carbon fiber intake kit designed for 2024 Ford Mustang GTs equipped with Stage 1 or Stage 2 VMP/Whipple superchargers. The kit replaces the factory rubber intake tube with a lighter and more rigid carbon fiber component. The suggested retail price is $629.99.
The new intake system offers several features. For one, the primary material is gloss 3k carbon fiber providing a high-end, premium appearance. A factory-style Positive Crankcase Ventilation connector ensures the engine operates as it should for emissions compliance and dealing with any blow-by.
Complementing these features are custom silicone adaptors connecting the intake to the throttle body and mass airflow sensor housings. Finally, black hose clamps secure all connections. These components work together to provide a secure and functional installation.
This intake system is built for performance applications. It is intended for closed-course competition use only. VMP Performance explicitly states that this product is not for street use. Therefore, buyers should check local regulations before purchase and installation.
The upgrade to a carbon fiber intake offers potential benefits. VMP optimizes the bends, diameter, and flow path for better performance. Positive displacement superchargers are particularly sensitive to changes on the intake path, so the carbon tube can lead to increased power and throttle response. Beyond performance, the visual appeal of the gloss carbon fiber adds a performance aesthetic to the engine bay.
The carbon fiber intake kit is perhaps the best way to cap off your VMP supercharger install. The combination of carbon fiber construction, specialized connectors, and precise fitment offers a performance upgrade.
VMP emphasizes the importance of understanding the intended use and potential legal restrictions. Buyers should consider these factors before purchasing and installing the new intake system.
