  Great After Market Air Filter

  Flows a lot more air. You could feel when you hit the throttle.I love this air filter because you could service it time after time.

  Great filter for my 2008 Bullitt

  If you're looking to replace that old, warped, ugly, dirty filter from the factory, then this is the filter to buy! This is cheap (price wise), and it is also a direct fit, reusable filter, and on the big plus side, it looks great under the hood. I have not noticed any performance gains at all, but the induction noise is just a tad bit throatier, hardly noticeable but it's there. The extra rubber bumps at the end of the filter is a little off from the factory heat shield cutout, but a little twisting of the filter kept that to a minimum, but it is still slightly off. I've always bought my filter from K&N, and they have not let me down!

  Fits V6 Power Pack

  Bought this to replace the disposable paper filter (M-9601-B) than came in the Ford Racing 05-09 V6 Power pack (M-2007-FR1V6). The filter is a direct fit, and only slightly more expensive than the stock paper filter. Didn't feel a drastic difference in performance, but highway fuel mileage got a slight increase, and I can really hear it at WOT. Looks better too! Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

  Fit is difficult

  It looks great and may perform well. I found it difficult to install. There is not enough room to fit the filter in the space provided. I finally ended up bending the filter a little (not on purpose) in order to get it on. I hope the filter is not damaged.

  Before you try to install, read this review.

  It takes 24 hours or so to properly clean and prepare this filter. I'm buying a second so I can change the filter and clean the dirty one and reapply the oil to it at my leisure. That way my GT isn't down for a full day or so while I muck with it. NOTE: You cannot just remove the hose clamp at the filter and then change it! You need to loosen the hose mounting as well, so you can pull the entire hose end up out of the housing, then remove the filter, then apply the new filter and reset the hose in the housing. It is only a couple more screws, no biggie. Don't bend your filter trying to force it in! Loosen the hose mounting and pull the end of the hose up to change it. As for the filter itself, it runs a bit more air than the Ford Racing blue paper, and gives a bit more throat to the exhaust as a result. Reusable, a smidge more power, and a bit of extra grumble.. what's not to like? Vroooom!

  Better than stock ford racing filter

  I have a v6 with the ford racing cold air intake and didn't want to pay $35 every time I needed a new air filter, and I've always used the KandN brand. The fit of the locating tabs is not exact, but with some finesse and patience, it will drop right in. Makes a nice noice when you get on it and when you let off the gas. Good option versus paper filter.

  Bullitt Replacement Filter

  The filter would be great if it fit. It is too long for the filter box in my 2008 Mustang Bullitt. When I tried to fit it the filter kinked so because I damaged it I know you will not allow it to be returned for the correct filter. I thought a company that has so much focus on Mustangs would have a better research before making fit claims. Oh well, it was only $59 down the drain. Thanks

  • Response from AmericanMuscle

    This filter is designed by K&N specifically for your Bullitt application. Many others have installed this without any problems. I'd like to find out more regarding what didn't fit with your factory cold air and get a replacement shipped out to you!

  Great Filter

  I have a 2008 Bullitt. the Previous owner had put a small spectra filter on it. This filter made a big difference in response.. I have had K&N filters on other cars I have owned and was always satisfied with performance.

  Bullitt Filter

  If you own a 08-09 Bullitt this needs to be your first purchase. Ford wanted to charge me $ 100.00 bucks for an unwashable filter. so after you wash it twice, This K&N filter has already paid for itself, and it looks alot cleaner than the stock filter.

  K N Air Filter

  I found it a lot easier to take off the entire CAI system from the TB, it allowed me to instal the filter outside of the shield and install the entire system in one piece. It also made it so I wouldn't bend or damage the filter. This installation was so much easier and I recommend doing it this way to avoiding the struggle.

  PERFORMANCE BETTER THAN EXPECTED

  Replaced the Ford Racing Cold Air Kit filter with the KandN because it gives a cleaner under the hood appearance. Installation took 10 minutes by loosening the two bolts holding the bucket assembly and installing the filter with clamp. Surprisingly, I feel a slight improvement in performance with the KandN over the Ford performance filter.

  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  I recently purchased this product for my Mustang Bullitt 2009 & i have to say, the overall performance of my ride improved! I mean you can really feel the difference compared to the stock Round Air Filter. P.S. to those having a hard time with the fitting, just loosen the clamp before fitting the filter to the duct (make sure the bolts that holds the duct to the case is removed so that you fit the filter easily to the case). I actually had to problems at all with the fitting, like what the description says "Perfect Fit!"

  K n N upgrade for Ford Racing M-9603

  Was time to replace the element in my Ford Racing M-9603. Chose KnN because it is reusable and a fine looking unit. Install was effortless and very easy. I saw elsewhere that a customer had difficulty with the install and kinked the filter in the process. I removed the old filter and also removed the two hold down 10mm bolts that secure the air tube to the filter box. This provided lots of room for installing the element. After aligning the index tabs, tightening the band clamp and reinstalling the 10mm bolts the job was completed. Great Product Highly Recommended..

  Well worth the money

  This filter is well worth the money since I'll never have to buy another filter. It looks great along with all of my other dress-up additions under the hood (see photos). I show this car a lot. The Ford Racing OEM filters are dark gray and everyone always thought it was dirty and needing replacing even when it was brand new. Very easy to install in about 10 minutes. Fits just like the OEM filter. It's hard to say for sure but the performance seems better, more responsive. When you hit the throttle you can hear a rush of air being pulled in that I didn't hear before. Haven't had a chance to run out a tank of gas to see if I get better gas mileage. Was getting 24-26 MPG mixed use before. Should have bought this a long time ago.

  Nice!

  This is a total glam mod. I was tired of replacing my stock Bullitt filter every 5k or so, in order to keep it looking new. This filter looks a ton better.
