New Roush Vent Gauge Pods For S197 Mustangs

February 28th, 2008 by CobraMatt

Check out these new ROUSH vent gauge pods for mounting some extra gauges on your S197 stang.  They kinda remind me of when Saleen came out with something similar for the fox-body vents, it was definately the must have aftermarket option back then even if your gauges were not hooked up.  The ROUSH vent mounted gauges look oh so cool and they don’t even obstruct any airflow from the A/C system although just straight forward airflow is all you get, hey it’s something.  The vent pods cost just $29.99 and will take standard 2-1/16 inch gauges.  No cutting or drilling is required to install the vent gauge pods which install in minutes. 

After the jump I have included another photo and the press release for more information.

Press Release: 

True performance drivers want to know exactly what is going on with their vehicle at all times, but much of this detailed information is typically only available through supplemental gauges.  But at a minimum, adding an accessory gauge increases clutter and decreases visibility around the dashboard, and typically requires some form of cutting or drilling into your valuable vehicle.

The new ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod is cleverly designed to integrate in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) vent of any 2005-2008 Ford Mustang (including the Shelby GT500) or 2004-2008 Ford F-150 truck.  Installation is simple – just remove the HVAC air louvers by gently pulling outwards to remove.  The ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod then replaces these louvers with no cutting, drilling, or trimming required.  Installation time is just minutes.

Those concerned that the ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod will obstruct the air through the system can rest assured that there is no significant loss of air flow for the cooling and heating functions of either the Mustang or F-150.

The ROUSH® Vent Pod Gauge (part number 403840) carries a suggested retail price of $29.99 and will fit any standard 2-1/16 inch gauge (not included).  The unit is low profile and designed to match the interior of the vehicle.

“This is such a simple idea and gives a clean and professional looking installation, and I am really proud to say that the ROUSH® Vent Pod Gauge was dreamed up and created by one of our engineers during his free time,” said Jack Roush.  “I think this is a perfect example of how our employees are thinking about innovative ways to continue improving the driving experience virtually 24 hours a day.”
