Vortech Carbon Fiber Air Inlet Duct (2011-2014 Mustang GT 5.0L) 4FQ012-013
Carbon Fiber Air Inlet Upgrade for Vortech & Paxton Supercharged Coyote Mustangs
The Vortech Carbon Fiber Air Inlet Duct (PN 4FQ012-013) is a premium, direct-replacement inlet designed for 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L vehicles equipped with Vortech or Paxton supercharger systems. Constructed from vacuum-infused real carbon fiber, this inlet duct delivers a striking under-hood appearance while offering strength and weight advantages over the factory plastic duct.
Carbon fiber has long been favored in high-performance applications for its combination of durability, lightweight construction, and visual impact. This inlet duct enhances airflow presentation at the supercharger inlet while giving your Coyote engine bay a true show-quality finish.
Vacuum-Infused Carbon Fiber Construction
This inlet duct is manufactured using a vacuum infusion process to ensure consistent resin distribution and structural integrity. The exterior features a clear-coat finish with UV protection, helping maintain its appearance over time while resisting discoloration from engine bay heat and sunlight.
For builders looking to further customize their setup, the duct is also paintable, allowing it to be color-matched or accented to suit your specific build theme.
