Unhappy 2008 mustang v6 supercharging & air intake concern

I have a question um the thing is i want to add a supercharger to my 2008 mustang v6 and i was wondering since this is a supercharger kit from explorer express x charger they use 80mm airbox mass air housing stock 4.0 airfilter inhlet hose and comes with a bamachip to reprogram the computer for the supercharger but since i already have a aftermarket k & n airfilter aircharger i was wondering if i could use it with the supercharger without using the one provided since they both are 80mm housing

If the MAF housing is the same diameter you could probably get away with it...

The X charger uses the factory rubber pipe and a custom airfilter. The supplied tune only works with that filter setup...the Steeda looks similiar but will not work with the tune that comes with the kit. If you fab your existing K&N, plan on some dyno time and a custom tune.

Agree that he should use the supplied parts, especially on a canned tune.
