99-04 Mustang Engine Air Filter Replacement

[@genericdude6551]

Make sure you get the right filter. I bought an Ecoguard XA4878 that Amazon said fits my 02 GT but it doesn't. I bought a STP SA8039 from a local auto parts store and it fit perfectly. Like this video pointed out, you have to make sure that latching ring fits properly - it is somewhat keyed

I have found it’s easier for me to remove the whole airbox and rubber intake hose as one assembly by removing airbox to fender bolt like you did and then loosen hose clamp up at throttle body along with disconnecting PCV hoses that insert in rubber intake hose. Also I disconnect the wire harness clip for the MAF sensor too. It makes it easier to get that metal clamp off of airbox and get air filter out with the whole thing out of the car . Then I install it all as one assembly back into the car once finished changing air filter. I use to try to change it while in the car like this and it was always frustrating. Just passing along some advice that might make it easier on you in the future. Great videos by the way!

I think I’ll do that next time or just waste money and upgrade to a CAI for the sounds.
