K&N Panel Air Filter

Just dropped it in today to replace stock air filter...obviously not a hard core upgrade, but pleasantly surprised with increase in engine note and pedal responsiveness. $60 well spent

Dropped one in last night. I ordered it from the K & N website since they apparently just came out and Autozone didn't have them yet. I've got the FR (Borla) touring exhaust on the car and a Bama tune. I may upgrade to a CAI in the future but for now, I'm going with the stock air box and the K & N.

I agree that the induction sound is a little more agressive and the car seems to be a little more responive. A few more HP and a little more torque? I don't know. Hard to tell. But I want to believe so.

I just got mine in today as well. Feeling and hearing about the same! Also yanked the sound tube!

Looks like I am going to have to order mine!

Did pulling the sound tube make a noticeable difference inside the car? BTW, Gig Em.

I was surprised at how nice the stock Ford air filter was...def not your typical cheap air filter.

It wasnt a night and day difference. I think i can tell the difference, but that may just be in my head! It wont matter after today since the SW catback is going on today! WHOOP!!!

Ordered. It can't hurt!

I've been using K&N's for years in many different cars/suv's. I currently have them on my '14 GT and my Acura RDX...V6. I find they seem to help throttle response. Noticed it on the RDX right away. Get's up off the line just a tad quicker due to the extra quick response of the throttle. GT seems to be similar. Engine intake sound is a little different too. K&N has their own dyno at their facility in Riverside, CA. Recorded results show HP gains too.

Ditto...... A great product......... John

Got mine today! Will install right after driving it with the stock filter, probably this weekend when I'm rested and perceptive enough to notice any subtleties in power/throttle response .... (if they exist !!!)

As posted in the "what did you do to your Mustang today thread":

Installed K&N Drop-in filter and drove the snot out of the car through the back roads and canyons of Ventura County. It is as others said: a tad snappier throttle response and improved eagerness. Installation was about three minutes. And it really rocks on wide-open throttle!

Awesome! I have still been babying it, about to roll past 1000 miles so looking forward to seeing what she can do. Also just ordered the FRPP X pipe, cannot wait to get that installed.
