K&N Mustang Intakes by JD

When I was in high school I had a friend put a K&N air filter in his car and all that we knew about it was that it made that car go faster off the line and boosted the top speed as well. After a little research I have learned that not only was it a fun product for us but it was also one of the best economical decisions he made for his vehicle. A K&N Mustang Filter improves mustang performance in more ways than a high school kid's dream of going faster. My best definition of Mustang performance is more horsepower, improving gas mileage and low maintenance. K&N Mustang intakes take care of all of those needs.

Let's talk about a K&N Mustang intake improving your horsepower. Making your car breathe easier is the key to improving the amount of power your Mustang can put out. Your engine runs by combusting a mixture of fuel and air with a carefully timed spark. So in part, the more air your engine can take in the more horsepower ends up coming out. K&N Intakes come with a high flow cone filter which has far more surface area to take air in through than a stock air filter does. Also increased air intake will improve the throttle response. That improved throttle response is what I was talking about when we were in high school, a very fun element to the K&N Mustang intake.

Improving gas mileage is everyones dream now that gas prices are sky high. The K&N Mustang intake boasts up to a 10% percent on your MPG's. They improve the air flow to the engine by using high flow cotton air filters. Your engine needs to breath and just like improving horsepower with more air the same can be said for fuel economy. The easier your engine breathes the less it has to work which means less gas being guzzled and every last bit of power being extracted from the fuel being used. Oh thank heaven for...better gas mileage.

The final section of the K&N Mustang Performance is the low maintenance factor. While replacing a factory air filter can take too much time finding the right one a K&N Mustang Filter replaces the factory filter and never has to be replaced. They come with a limited 1,000,000 mile warranty. Cleaning is as simple as taking the filter out and washing and re oiling it, letting it dry, and then putting it back in. They still have to be cleaned as often as a stock filter has to be replaced, but you can do it at home when you have the time to, and again, they never need to be replaced.
