The Great Air Filter Debate

[Greg Hazlett]

For those thinking about the Amsoil filter I am a dealer and will give you a great price!

Have a part #? I was looking to replace mine as well.

EaAU4090...mines a bit snug, it does rub on the inner fender at the bottom. I paid $47.25 for it in March of 2011.

I think any dry filter you pick would be fine for you. My car came with an airaid intake and they oiled it at the dealer when I picked it up. it ran fine during the test drive but after I got it it ran kinda funny. I pulled the intake to clean the maf and throttle body for a tune and the maf and tube was coated in oil. Every vehicle I've had with an oil filter has always been like that, I always buy dry now. I've never had a problem before with oil filters, I think the maf on the mustang is sensitive though.

Can you PM me a price shipped to 20180 for one that will fit a Steeda CAI?

I put a Fram Airhog filter on my 1997 F150 and after a few thousand miles I ended up with a hard starting problem. The issue was instantly resolved after cleaning the MAF. Based on that experience, I would not recommend using an oiled filter.

I run an Amsoil Ea filter on my 2007 Mustang GT which is supposed to flow nearly as well as an oiled gauze filter but it is not oiled and you can reuse it after cleaning it with a vacuum.

I took some basic dimensions of the filter that came with the JLT2 and bought the equivalent Ea filter.

What was the part number for the filter?

I checked and that price is the dealer price with zero profit and zero shipping/tax included....I also checked pricing on the EaU6080 for the whipple guys and the dealer pricing on that is $51 without any profit, shipping or tax.

This may help when trying to figure out what filter would work best for your application...if you see something that you are interested in let me know and I will get pricing info to you.

Any thoughts on paper vs cotton filter elements?
