K&N Air Filter?

[BeauxXL1200]

It is now on their site!

I just happened to check today and, Bam, it was on there.

I'd just as soon have driven to my local Autozone to pick one up (excuse to drive the Stang), but Autozone's website isn't showing it yet. So, I ordered one.

I've no illusions about being able to really tell any increase in performance, but I ran K & N's filter in my G37s for the five yeras I had the car, and I was pleased with it.

Just read K&N test results on their new filter. Would love to see a study on the stock filter by a unbiased entity. Ford did a good job with this filter. Very large folds. Any company can create more air flow.

I would still love to see a performance study done on the stock filter.

installed mine a few days ago, throttle feels more responsive. Can't tell if any HP power was gained then again I want to believe that it has ($60).

I just installed one. If nothing else, the smoother breathing sound is worth the money. It does feel like it revs up a little more freely. Just adds that little bit extra.

I've used them for years on many things (the most dramatic improvements were on cars with carburetors), but it's a well-known fact they allow more super-fine grit to pass than an OEM pleated paper filter.

I recall reading a post on an SVT Performance forum a while back where they tested filters on a dyno on an S197 Coyote and the K&N actually cost something like 2 HP versus a stocker. Can't seem to find the link at the moment.....

Me, I'm leaning toward keeping mine stock until I add a CAI and tune.

One mod I will NOT be going with.
K&N was not an improvement over factory paper filter in 2011-2014 5.0s

I'm with you laztug. K&N filter not better this time.

I have no intention to go KN panel this time around. Have on on the ranger only because I go off road and I would have to replace a paper filter more often. Had one on the Focus too. Just doesn't seem worth it this time. I will only mess with the intake once i'm ready to forgo the warranty and get a tune.
