Roughly a year after the release of the Mustang in 1965, Ford made the decision to “toughen up” the Mustang line. Enter – Carroll Shelby. Ford tasked him to make their pony run alongside Chevrolet’s Corvette and nearly six decades later, the Shelby GT 500 remains the high performance muscle-car of choice for Mustang lovers. When the Mustang was given a little redesign in 2011, all 5,500 units sold faster than one could say “Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.” Minor changes were made for the 2012 model, and those that missed their chance in 2011 can rest assured that the GT500 will gallop for at least one more year.
The Shelby GT500 distinguishes itself from the other Mustangs in the line-up with a more aggressive exterior look, featuring a signature coiled Cobra badge on the front grille and front fenders. It also stands apart with a unique aluminum power dome hood with functional heat extractors and unique Shelby front and rear fascias, rear diffuser, deck-lid spoiler, and supercharged motor pushing out 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque. And by simply replacing the disposal factory air filter on the GT500 with a K&N E-1993 replacement air filter, drivers can further distinguish their Mustang with high flow performance.
In 1969, only four years after the Mustang was introduced, K&N began engineering and manufacturing high-flow air filters for enthusiasts looking to maximize horsepower and acceleration. K&N invented high-flow air filter technology, and their filters have been thoroughly tested both in-house and by independent laboratories. The result is a precise balance of filtration efficiency, air flow, dirt capacity, and longevity.
The E-1993 filter is designed for a lifetime of power and torque. It is washable and reusable and has the capability to run up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required, depending on driving conditions. K&N stands behind the E-1993 replacement air filter with their industry leading Million Mile Limited Warranty, making this the last air filter Mustang enthusiasts will ever need to purchase for their GT500.
