Just talked to K&N and they need around 5 GT's for R&D. They have one right now and will be using mine next week. But they still need a few more. You get to keep the kit of course and get your old setup back, plus a dyno sheet of your stock setup and when the kit actually becomes available to the public they will mail you the dyno sheet with new K&N kit.

You can bet K&N will make a filter for the stock air box soon.

They want you to have at least 1000 miles on your Mustang before they will let you give it to them, just to give you a heads up. I got about 970 miles on mine now, so by the time I would get the car to them, it would be good to go.

Also, they want to keep your Mustang for a week. Incase you think you might have seperation anxiety.

The development work would probably be for a new FIPK vice just a filter. Any boob can make a square filter

Hey Gang,I have been talking to a K&N Rep named Dino and the new filter for the GT is now available. Summet told me not until January so I called Dino and he gave me the Name of a shop next to K&N that has the Filters. They are called Fox Performance,The filter is 37.70 with FREE shipping and no tax outside of Calif. I ordered mine a little while ago and the Guy on the Phone was really a nice guy. I hope this helps you as much as the Mustang Source has helped Me. Later Driver

I heard from somewhere that the 05 Mustang GT K&N replacement filter will hurt your performance - I'm not sure if this came from a reputable source.

Sounds like the claim is horse manure. I ordered a K&N replacement filter for my 05 GT.

Can any one prove or disprove this?
