Increase 2005-2014 Ford Mustang Cabin Air Filter Efficiency with a K&N Cabin Filter
- Apr 28, 2016
The original idea behind the Ford Mustang was to give young buyers a sporty car that could be customized by the factory. Prior to its arrival in 1964, a car's equipment was determined by the model line: Custom, Deluxe etc. This new pony car however, could be had with all sorts of exciting options, and it literally introduced the idea of ordering equipment a la carte. One of the available features was the "Ford Air Conditioner" for $277.20 ($2,129.36 in today's money). This rare luxury item sucked air in from the outside, forced it over a chunk of ice the size of a glacier, then blasted cold air into your face--bugs dust and all. By the time the 5th generation Ford Mustang came along in 2005, the engineers in Dearborn (the Detroit suburb where Ford is based) had replaced that antiquated HVAC system, with a modern ventilation system that used a paper filter to keep dirt, dust, and other allergens from entering the cabin. However, if you don't change said OEM cabin air filter regularly, you could be breathing in years of accumulated gunk.
Every 2005-2014 Ford Mustang GT, Shelby, V6 is fitted with a thick paper cabin air filter that lives behind an access panel on the firewall. It's designed to remove contaminants from the air before it flows into the cabin. Problem is, these filters collect the dirt on the folded paper surface, and over time, all of that caked up dirt will reduce the amount of air that can flow through the filter and can even create a musty, stale smell in your Mustang’s interior. A K&N VF2020 cabin air filter on the other hand, uses a special synthetic filter material that's been electrostatically charged to attract and hold dirt. As air flows through the K&N cabin air filter, dirt and allergen particles become trapped in the synthetic fibers, and the electrostatic charge helps hold them in place. This design allows for increased airflow, even when the filter gets dirty. Then it can be cleaned simply about every 12-months or 12,000 miles (depending on road conditions) using the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. During allergy season, you can also use the Cleaning Spray and Refresh Spray to quickly remove dirt and allergens and restore the electrostatic properties of the filter.
Because of its increased filtration efficiency, the K&N VF2020 cabin air filter traps dirt, dust, pollen, mold, spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens. If you suffer from allergies, then you know how important it is to remove irritants from the air you breathe. Each K&N cabin air filter is also covered by the 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so you know it will continue to work for a very long time. And don't forget, K&N makes an entire line of Ford Mustang performance filtration parts that can help turn your pony car into a real thoroughbred.
