would it only fit a GT or can it fit a v6 also 1 answer

• Hello Louis, This will only be for the Gt model because the intake systems are different for both cars.

i have purchased a 2003 MAF sensor that comes with IAT in it, so since theres no place for the the separate IAT sensor in the k N tube, can i just connect the cables to the MAF sensor connector ?? 1 answer

• The computer would not be able to correctly interpret this if wired in this way. You would need to drill a hole in the tube and insert a grommet for the sensor to ensure an accurate reading from the IAT sensor.

this might be a dumb question but then again I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars will this fit in my 95 mustang gt 5.0? because i don't want a CAI that goes in the fender i want a short one and if not where can i find one 1 answer

• Hello, unfortunately this K&N FIPK Cold Air Intake (96-04 GT) does not show fitment for the 95 GT, but if you would like a CAI for your year range and not have it go into the fender, then I would advise C&L Cold Air Intake w/ 76mm MAF Housing (94-95 GT) http://www.americanmuscle.com/cnl-76maf-cai-9495gt.html just remember to choose your correct LB Injectors.

I bought the car and it had a K/N filter with stock intake. How much difference does the whole intake make? is it worth the money for performance, or can I use the money elsewhere. Dont have a lot of extra cash, but would like to improve the performance. Cant seem to win any of the contests, so I need help. Any advise will help 2 answers

• I installed this kit in my 2004 GT. Since I make a habit of recording mileage, I can tell you it gave me almost 3 miles per gallon more travelling on the interstate. These trips were about 2400 miles each (round trip), so it was relatively easy to gauge. Since my daily commute in the city changed around the time I installed the intake, I can't qualify the difference in mileage - more stop and go on the new commute.

• mine was the same way. I bought it anyways. You wont notice giant gains or anything but it will idle smoother because that restrictive intake tubing is replaced. Definitely makes the bay look better

Filter Is the filter reuseable or do you have to buy a new one rather then be able to clean and reuse ? 3 answers

• The filter is designed to last for at least 100,000 miles, and K&N sells recharge kits for their filters, which do work great. When you buy any K&N Filter, it should come with a warranty card that you're supposed to keep with your vehicle, giving you the details and a guarantee. Their filters are really reliable, the only reason you might have to buy a replacement is if it's torn or been through some really extreme conditions.

• Yes the filter is reusable, and is rated to last over 1,000,000 miles if you use the "recharge kit" every 50,000. However, I suggest using the recharge kit every 20,000 miles or so or whenever the filter visually appears to be dirty. My father has a 2007 Mustang GT and has 120,000 miles on the car, he added a K&N filter after 1,800 miles, after cleaning it every 15-25,000 miles it looks, and preforms like new. It is a very good investment.

• It's reusable. You use the K&N Recharge Kit to clean it.
