C&L TrueFlow Filter Systems
are designed for those who are looking for a complete low cost replacement for
the poor flowing original factory airbox used on all 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT,
Cobra and Mach 1 vehicles. These kits are "meter forward" packages for those
people who are not interested in upgrading the mass airflow unit at this time,
yet still want the flexibility to upgrade their inlet pipe and mass airflow
units as they see fit. Purchasing other "cold air" style systems do not allow
for this, as they often change the location of the air meter, which causes fit
issues when using an aftermarket inlet pipe that retains the original air meter
location. All mass airflow units are calibrated with the air filter mounted
directly in front of them, which is why we do not reccomend using a remote
mounted air filter.
Doing so can adversely effect the MAF signal. Due to the fact that our system
comes with a molded cover that goes over the filter and helps to hold it in
place, only the cooler air from the fenderwell is allowed to enter the filter.
The quality and temperature of the air entering the filter with this system is
the same as with "cold air" kits and the factory box, as even the factory filter
assembly pulled air from out of the fender well area. Each system comes complete
with a mass airflow filter adapter, adapter hardware, conical high performance
air filter and specific molded filter cover for each vehicle application.
Installation is quite easy, and can be performed by anyone in about 15 minutes.

KITS FOR 03-04 COBRA MUSTANGS
For
owners of 2003-2004 Cobra vehicles, this kit is designed to replace everything
in front of the factory mass airflow system. It comes complete with MAF adapter,
adapter hardware, conical air filter assembly and custom heat shield made
specifically for the supercharged '03-'04 Cobra. Performance is maximized by
keeping the filter directly in front of the air meter housing, protecting the
filter with the custom shield and drawing the colder air in from the fenderwell.
This setup is a complete filter solution, and is superior to remotely locating
the air filter away from the mass airflow unit, as placing a bend in front of
the mass airflow unit can effect the sensors reading. On these vehicles, a
realistic gain of about 17 rear wheel horsepower is typical. Beware of claims of
20+ HP from a filter-only upgrade, as gains that high can not be accomplished
without manipulation of the air/fuel ratio.

C&L TRUEFLOW FILTER
KITS FOR 03-04 MACH 1 MUSTANGS
For
owners of 2003-2004 Mach 1 vehicles, this system is designed to replace
everything in front of the factory mass airflow system. It comes complete with
MAF adapter, Conical air filter assembly and custom filter cover designed to
retain the function of the original shaker assembly used on the Mach 1.
Performance is maximized by keeping the filter directly in front of the air
meter housing, protecting the filter with the custom shield assembly and drawing
the colder air in from the fenderwell and shaker simultaneously. This setup is
superior to simply replacing your stock filter with a K&N, as the physical
size of the factory replacement filter does not provide enough capacity to
maximize the horsepower gain from the filter upgrade. On these vehicles, the
typical horsepower gain to be expected is about 6-7 at the rear wheels. For an
additional improvement, and to greatly enhance the underhood appearance of the
Mach 1 vehicle, you can add our aluminum Trueflow inlet pipe (part #713) to
replace the large (and ugly) rubber inlet hose that runs between the mass
airflow unit and throttle body. For dyno test data on the Mach 1 vehicle and
information about our complete system featuring an upgraded mass airflow unit,
please look at our Mach 1 system

KITS FOR 96-04 MUSTANG GT AND 96-01 COBRA MUSTANGS
For owners of 1996-2004 Mustang GT and 1996-2001 Cobra vehicles,
this package is a low cost upgrade to replace everything in front of the factory
mass airflow system. It comes complete with MAF adapter, Conical air filter
assembly and molded filter cover to hold the assembly in place. Performance is
maximized by keeping the filter directly in front of the air meter housing,
protecting the filter with the custom shield assembly and drawing the colder air
in from the fenderwell. This setup is superior to remotely locating the air
filter away from the mass airflow unit, as placing a bend in front of the mass
airflow unit can effect the sensors reading. Performance improvement will vary
depending on vehicle, with gains ranging anywhere from a low of about 5 HP to a
high of about 8 HP at the rear wheels. For an additional boost in performance,
you can add one of our trueflow inlet pipes to replace the stock hose that runs
between the mass airflow unit and throttle body. Gains provided by the inlet
pipe vary, but owners of 1996-1998 Cobra Mustangs may see as much as 7-8
additional rear wheel horsepower due to the extremely resrictive design of the
original inlet tube.
