Cheap and easy Horsepower Do this if you own a Mustang

[@josehernandez-ni9jm]

Thank Tony, I removed the trap off too and I can definitely feel something there. At first I thought it was in my head but I took my son out for a drive and he also felt the difference. He is only 13 and didn't know about the change, so that's saying something. You are starting to be my MACH 1 go to guy. Thank again

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Jose thanks for watching! I do what I can!

[@ernest456]

Thanks for the video! I just bought one directly from Airaid for $59. Assuming I've gained +18 hp (removal of hydrocarbon filter) and another +2hp from this filter totaling to +20hp all for $59 - that's not bad at all.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Very nice!

[@ra3ta]

That's called ricer math

[@bmartin6440]

Tony!!! My Mach 1 to go guy! I installed this exact same filter and it not only pulls harder but i sounds amazing !!!! Can wait for more Mach 1 part vids ❤

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thank you sir! Glad to hear you like it!

[@risa4fun]

I changed the very same filter two weeks ago, and already faced the intricacies of the mount. Interestingly, it was not a problem to put it in, (or to remove the original filter), without removing anything else. But then I realized that I did not put the down mark really down and since I could not rotate the filter in place, I had to pull it out first and it was not that easy anymore. Managed to bend and tear the outer mesh during the extraction. Next time I may as well do it your way.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

My way takes a couple minutes longer but you know you have a good seal.

[@7P4MBH]

I added this filter as well and was pleasantly surprised!

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

It is a bit shocking. I didn't expect it to wake up like that.

[@7P4MBH]

Same here, have done plenty drop in filters in my time and not one has responded like this!

[@anthonywelborn7434]

Thanks Tony, like you my quest for more air flow will be a purchase soon. Hopefully they have one in red for our cars. Thanks For the detailed information.

Good looking car man. I used to restore classic mustangs. 69-70 was my fav year. Boss 429 was amazing. Mach 1s were always cool imo. The styling, power, and reputation. You have good taste in cars lol

[@daviduline8700]

Thanks Tony, I had this mod for a few months. I’ve also had it in my GT350. I also have a Ford Performance oil separator and resonator delete welded in. The previous videos about the carbon filter in the intake was a big help.

[@SDGT-xz7pz]

Thank you Tony

[@wesd2845]

Great video Tony! I'm interested to see how the fuel trim levels are going to be with the air raid filter. Have you thought about doing a resonator delete? I've got a Steeda H pipe at my house and getting it installed next friday. I'm hoping that'll give me a couple extra horsepower and a lot more low end torque.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I just ran some data logging over a 1,800 mile trip and everything is great less than 1% short and long term. Seems like the ECU learns to adapt. I'm not sure on the res delete. I may go headers and that changes everything.

[@wesd2845]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs if you're adding headers I would not do the resonator delete because it'll be too loud. Have a great weekend!

[@bigmacmach1185]

I just put that on my 21, looks better and the stock one was quite dirty so this will be much better.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I won't leave it on there IF I'm just cruising around. I know for a fact they do not filter as well but it's an easy swap so when the situation calls for just a bit more...

[@geoffmetituk3604]

The GT has a closed air box but there are air filters available that will breath better. K&N comes to mind. Thanks for watching and best of luck!

@@grayghost1423 I was the one that figured out that the trap was an issue. I published the first video on the topic back in August/September of 22 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGq3hGl3q7mVfdE

Thanks for watching and I'm not sure exactly what's next but I'm thinking long tube headers to see where that put's me.

[@icestang]

Every bit helps to hit the 500 mark and the good thing is they are all low cost. I wonder what the increase would be with these mods and 98 octane? I wish my car had arrived so I could help you out with testing.

Where did you say you purchased your Continental Tires on your Mach 1 from? I can seem to find you video where you spoke about them.

[@teemeaux3830]

I’m sure this filter with hct removed and a 93 tune would make a huge difference.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

It seems the first 2 helped me a good deal.

[@wesd2845]

Tony, I just got my Steeda H pipe installed this morning and love it! Quick question, I have been going back and watching your old videos and saw that you had installed a MGW shifter on your first Mach 1. I'm thinking about doing the same but wanted to ask you why you did it and how do you like it and what are the benefits?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I did because it was such a great upgrade in my S197. In the Mach 1 it's an upgrade but nearly as monumental. It has a notchy feeling that you would expect from an MGW but it's not a must have like it was MT82. I think I may go with Long tubes before I spend the $$ on another shifter. If you do go that way get the shift knob from MGW as the factory one is woefully short almost undriveable.

[@wesd2845]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs Thanks my friend!

[@aerok89]

Wondering how you ended up concluding that it does not filter as the OE paper one? I was planning to replace it as according to every text I've found, the filter actually filters as should. Can you further explain? Or maybe to create more content on this? Thanks @Tony

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching and these filters are similar to K&N filters which let through smaller particulates. That's how they let through more airflow as well. There are several tests on the web but the most in detail I have seen is from "project farm" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXuWfWB7YtqZj9E

@@stevekalesia7933 Thank you Steve! I looked hard at the GT-350's but the issues with the Voodoo scared me away from going that route. I've talked to too many service managers that have to replace engines under warranty. Apparently the later cars are not as problematic as Ford did things to reinforce the block. That said Ford no longer makes a flat plane crank and I think the warranty issues (vibration) are a big reason why. I need a car that I can count on to get me where I'm going and the last issue I want is Engine failure. Best of luck!

Airaid filters are NOT oiled. They are cleaned with Simple Green and low volume water pressure and air dried. K&N filters many times use oil.
