I was informed by my service rep the last time I had my Mustang in for service that the air filter for my Ford Racing intake is discontinued and I need to look into replacing the intake... I was wondering if anyone is using a K&N style filter or is there a way to clean the filter in the intake now? I heard they can be taken out and cleaned? Any good replacement filter ideas? Thanks for any input or help!

Hmm, Sounds Like Your Advisor Gave Up a Bit Quick!

I Believe it is the Same as the 08-09 Bullit. Any Ford Dealer Should Be Able to Get Filter by Oem or Motorcraft Number. Sounds Like FRPP Stopped Selling Them But FORD Still Supplies Them It Appears!

The Old FRPP Number Was M-9601-B.

Ford Bullit Oem Filter is 8R3Z-9601-C.

Here is Motorcraft! FA-1895 Pictures Vary on these on Ebay for Some Reason. I think its Just Angle of Pic Makes One Look Way Tapered!

If you Want to Go K&N

Assuming it is the standard K&N oiled filter, yes they can be cleaned and re-oiled. You can get the K&N kit with the cleaner and the oil at most auto parts stores.

But first make sure it is a washable oiled filter, because I am not sure.

 

Replacing the entire intake is not necessary... As posted above, all that is required is just replace the filter... If the air filter is the original OEM included with the Ford Racing intake? It cannot be cleaned or reused, therefore you'll need to replace with either a K&N, Airaid or S&B replacement filter which is similar to the size of your current OEM filter element... If the OEM filter was previously replaced with an aftermarket unit? the manufacture's logo and model number should be stamped on either the inlet housing or on the very top where the cap is located... If you locate a K&N, Airaid or S&B logo? these can be cleaned/re-oiled with their cleaning/re-oiling kits... If however you don't wish to purchase a replacement filter which requires re-oiling? Airaid offers their dry synthamax air filters that can be cleaned and reused without requiring any oiling...

I've attached a link below if you happen to be interested...

It is the OEM filter that came with the intake, been having it replaced by the dealer since I had it installed years ago. I'm going to check out Airaid and see if they have one that fits. Thanks for the help!!
