This high‑flow air filter is an OEM‑quality upgrade engineered by Ford Racing and K&N to replace the restrictive stock paper filter in 2010–2014 Mustang GTs (5.0 L), 2011–2014 V6 Mustangs, and 2012–2013 Boss 302s. It delivers enhanced airflow and protection without requiring PCM recalibration, making it a smart upgrade for enthusiasts seeking more performance and unchanged drivability.
