If eBay works for you, I went with this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARBONIZED...+Mustang+&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313S
I see similar ones now for similar prices.
Seemed well made. Installed with no problems. Snug fit.

Thanks, I was confused by the horrible foot smell considering it has a filter! LOL
I don't know that I've seen an interior air filter that wasn't activated charcoal. I just thought it was a given.

K&N fit perfect for me this afternoon. Took about 10 minutes to swap the filter. Added a Bounce sheet to the passenger kick panel and I have a nice fresh smell. The 16k mile filter was pretty clean. I wouldn't have changed it if I knew it was that clean. But I never roll my windows down. That might explain it's cleanliness.

I can confirm the activated charcoal filter works great when I drive by a sewage plant, garbage dump or a car with a smoker! I also can't smell my son's feet when he sticks them up in the passenger foot well.
This is a must upgrade!

Thanks for the great write-up and I will be donating the FP-53, that I bought some time back, to a friend.
Amazon shows the correct filter.

Just have to bump this...
The job is not difficult at all, but I will add to change it out, the design of the HVAC box and the location of the filter element is in a VERY AWKWARD position!
Who the F designed THAT????
Why would the f’n Engineer design the S550 HVAC box and the filter element opening behind the glove box so that:
1) it is pointed towards the passenger side door (US vehicles)
2) the element door is so janky that if you pop it off it’s a royal PIA to get it back into place
3) you not only have to deal with getting up and under the dash and behind the glove box area, BUT also having to needle the damn filter element past wiring harnesses
4) the freaking HVAC box element insert location is CURVED?!?!?!
5) when you finally do get the old one out of the HVAC box, any debris that the element collected is now all over the passenger side floor!
I mean for crying out loud, What-The-Royal-F?!?
In my Wife’s 2016 CX-5, all I do is open the glove box, pull off the element door and pull the element directly out towards me like a drawer and BAM - done in less than freaking 2 mins and there’s nothing to clean up!
The S550 HVAC cabin element is a piss poor design and the Engineer who designed it should have to change those elements daily 24/7 without any access to a bathroom for eternity....
F’n eh man....

Yes, just bought it for $13 prime on Amazon using the FP-78 number description says 15-18 mustang. One review said " Warning, do not forget to disengage the glove box drop arm control to prevent damage." Not sure if that was covered in the original write up? I'm not looking forward to this after all the bitchin about the location and contortion required. Sounds like goggles might be required
