Are you looking to install gauges in your Mustang, but don't want to drill into your dash or a-pillar? ROUSH Performance, the company known for its ROUSH Mustangs, has released a new set of vent gauge pods for 5th generation Mustangs (2005-2008). The ROUSH Vent Gauge Pod (part number 403840) is said to offer up an easy installation with no cutting or drilling required.

Here’s how it works. The new ROUSH Vent Gauge Pod is designed to integrate in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) vent of any 2005-2008 Ford Mustang (including the Shelby GT500). The company says you remove the VAC air louvers by gently pulling outwards. Then you insert the pods. In all, install is said to take just minutes.

ROUSH reports that the pods will not significantly obstruct the air through the system. In a press release detailing the product ROUSH said, “Rest assured, there is no significant loss of air flow for the cooling and heating functions.”

It should be noted; the ROUSH Vent Gauge Pod does not come with its own gauges. The set up will accommodate any standard 2-1/16 inch gauge of your choice, which must be purchased and installed separately.

In all, this product was designed to be low impact and 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.”
