Looking to install this filter on the GT350
Intake but some high flow filters let too much dust in vs OEM Yellow filter, anyone run this filter for a long time and checked the intake tract?

This same filter is marketed as the blue ford performance as well…

Thanks

I've been running a mix of these "high flow" air filters for the past 14 years on various cars (including the Mustang and airaid) and I've never seen dust on the intake tract. I've seen oily deposits and stuff, but never dust. I think you've overthinking it.

If you’re worried about dust/debris clogging the conical (or smaller particulate matter getting past the pleats, oiled or dry), then review this thread:

I saw a bit of dust on my throttle body blade when I replaced my whipple filter.
