Jaime: Love the mouse pad, is that from the Shelby store?

On another subject, somehow, don't ask me how, but I was able to get the new deck lid mat installed. <chuckling> Rough work but someone has to duit.

Despite the hiccups along the way, the fellas did a beautiful job of hand painting, it's pretty remarkable, really. VERY steady hands.

​

Looks MINT buddy. I love mine, its pretty slick, and I get a lot of compliments.

I got the mouse pad from Etsy, and as you can see, he will do your chassis number.

Looks great KB. The plate is awesome as well!

Thanks, Craig. It was all Jamie, I just copied the eye deer. :-)

With the temps about twenty degrees lower than the past couple of months, I got a tiny bit ambitious this morning and installed the Outerwears air pre-filter.

I was more than a little surprised at how dirty the filter was after only 1800 or so miles. I also didn't think the pre-filter I got would fit but low and behold, it did. That's one out of the way with a bunch more on the list.

Is that for your "protection"....... You get the reference. in all seriousness what benefit are you seeking/expecting? Why not a K&N type? Interested in your thoughts.

 

[kilobravo]

I will undoubtedly replace the OEM with a K&N when it's time but I was HOPING that the pre-filter might catch gunk, bugs, and particles that would otherwise get deep inside the folds. The goal is to extend the life of the filter.

KB, thanks as always good thinking....

Jaime: I don't have the packaging and the invoice isn't much help.

The site is outerwears dot com

My invoice says:

20-1097-03 30.45
WRRD 7 1/2-5 TAPER, 8 TALL W/TOP

In the list after Ford, you'll see "Mustang Shelby"

but there isn't one for the 20 MY. I measured mine as per their instructions and learned that it was a 7 1/2" x 5" which most of those on that page are as well so I think any of them with those dimensions will work. At least that's what I ordered.

So, Tob likes AirRaid more better. I've used both but it's been awhile and I don't recall that outer screen on previous products. They're definitely going to be under consideration and I think sooner rather than later. Also like Earl's idea of just washing it out and letting it sun dry.

 

[kilobravo]

Hey Tob: After reading your equally deliciously obsessive writeup on filters, you convinced me to change mine to an AirRiad. Unfurntoately, I can't find the correct filter on their site. Might you by chance sill have a link for that filter ad, thanks in advance.

 

[Epiphany]

Certainly.

Well my BORLA exhaust arrived yesterday, but likely will be 2-3 weeks before i can get it installed, waiting on new rear valance so i can do at the same time. Man the X/H pipe whatever Borla calls it sure is sexy. Surely they didn't go to all that trouble and it not be proven....IDK looks cool

 

[Epiphany]

That pipe is certainly interesting.

 

[protraxduner]

That pipe is certainly interesting.

I had to google it and find some info. Mostly a marketing video but some science and explanation and claim is 2% increase over 'normal' Xpipes
