Hi guys I dont have the best price on just the K&N but a heads up. If you are going to get a programmer we have packages with the X-calibrator and K&N on brenspeed.com. These are custom tunes we developed specificially for your Mustang. If you are already a current Brenspeed X-calibrator customer and you picked up a K&N get a hold of me because your stock air box tune is not optimized for it.

Have a good day!

I payed $260 from a K&N Direct Supplier, lowest I've ever seen, I really don't trust buying parts from Ebay, no offense. But I got free shipping on the $260 purchase.

I got mine from Ebay from Mike's Performance. He had 100% positive feedback, which is why I paid the $4 more than the one mentioned above. He emailed me back and forth and the box was clearly from the warehouse, even to the seal on the top of the box. I was worried about ebay as well, but you don't need to worry about Mike. (I'm not affiliated with him or anything, I was just impressed by his customer service and speed.)

The guy Dustin got his from is the cheapest around. If anyone can find a better price than $212.95 including shipping, I'd like to see it.
Be careful though. He sells the EXACT same product for higher prices. I guess he's trying to catch somone off guard and make a little extra money.
(BTW, I'm not trying to put the guy down as I plan on buying one from him also)

John Bleakley Ford has a ffrp/K&N cai for $181 + around $20 to ship...looks a lot nicer than just K&N, IMO...bad news, back ordered from Ford until 12/31 : ( I'm waiting on it.

That's the S&B kit. It has nothing to do with K&N. :scratch:

[attachmentid=33858]I stand 100% corrected. I guess I made an assumption...could have sworn I read that somewhere. Anyway, the S&B sight has a lot more info than frpp, so if anyones interested, I really like the look of this part v. others I've seen...my preference only. Thanks for looking out for me StangNut...sorry for any confusion

2005 Mustang GT 4.6L;
ISO 5011 Test Result Summary*
Air Flow: 54% less restrictive than stock
Filtration Efficiency: 99.34%
* Testing was conducting based on the ISO 5011 Test Procedures

Dyno Results & Product Features
Dyno Results: Generates 17 added HP at 6,000 RPM.
Product Features: The S&B High Performance Intake Kit generates 54% more air flow than the stock setup resulting in an additional 17 HP at 6,000 RPM. The S&B kit generates this additional power without any additional tuning or programming changes. All this additional power and S&B still protects the engine by stopping 99.34% of the dirt.

In retrospect, I wish I got the S&B. Does anyone know if you have to drill a hole in some tube to install the K&N on every Stang or just some Stangs?

I really hope I don't have to drill any holes. My whole reason for getting the K&N is so that I can revert to stock and have warranty work done. I don't want the dealer to see any weird hole's drilled...

Anyone want a brand new K&N for $216 shipped?

Thanks for the numbers.
I didn't think they had posted those yet.
Does it say when the S&B version will be available since the FRPP one won't be out for a while?

Clockworks - I have PM'd you with information about the drilling thing with the K&N. Very simply, you only have to drill if K&N forgot to drill out the nipple that the breather hose (the small rubber hose) connects to on the K&N side. Shine a light down there and if the hole isn't as big as the inside of the nipple, you'll have to drill it out. It's soft plastic, you can use a cordless drill. It's not a big problem, and I bet most K&N's don't have the problem. Alternately, contact K&N support about the defect and get a good one from them. I drilled mine out and it works great, as some other people on the board have as well.

Mind you, I think most people didn't have to drill because K&N properly made most of the intakes.
