AIRAID direct replacement filters are designed for the 2015-2017 Ford Mustang

The AIRAID 850-344 and 851-344 are designed for the 2015-2017 Ford Mustang

There are times the engineers at car companies have to make decisions they’d rather not. Those compromises are necessary to get a design out the door, into production, and on the showroom floor. We may come across one of these compromises from time to time, and think to ourselves “what sort of so-and-so designed this.” In fact the engineers are incredibly intelligent and clever individuals. It’s that they’re held to incredibly tight requirements, like the necessity to meet corporate objectives to bring a new car in within a dollar or less of company expectations. Seriously.

And while you may not have anticipated it, understanding that the team at Ford had to bring in an all-new Mustang for the 2015 model year on time and on budget, you now can envision why all three motors, the 2.3L EcoBoost, 3.7L V6 and mighty 5.0L V8 all were assigned the same air filter.

The AIRAID 850-344 is a highly-effective oiled cotton filter

AIRAID has two solutions for these Mustangs that will improve breathing, and result in increased horsepower and better response. There’s the 850-344 SynthaFlow oiled cotton gauze filter recommended for those who frequently encounter dusty driving conditions and the 851-344 SynthaMax dry synthetic filter media which is recommended for everyday street driving.

These AIRAID direct-fit replacement filters are a drop-in replacement for your vehicles’ stock paper air filter that are designed to improve horsepower and acceleration by improving air flow into the engine. With more air, the engine computer recognizes it can add more fuel, the result being more energetic combustion and an increase in power. The air filter is constructed to provide significant improvements in air flow and filtration compared to typical replacement filters.

And there’s no need to purchase a new paper filter each time the old one gets dirty when you can upgrade to a serviceable AIRAID direct-fit replacement filter for often less than the cost of two stock replacements. Installation takes only a few minutes and is as simple as replacing your stock filter.

The AIRAID 851-344 is a dry synthetic filter that requires no oiling

The 850-344 is both washable and reusable. Cleaning your AIRAID SynthaFlow air filter restores full air flow efficiency and maintains optimum engine performance. Best practice is to clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving and more frequently if your travel off-road or in heavy dust conditions. The best and easiest way is a quick, three-step process with the AIRAID SynthaFlow air filter cleaning kit which contains a 12 ounce pump bottle of cleaner and an eight ounce squeeze bottle of special filter oil.

The 851-344 is also washable and reusable. Cleaning your AIRAID SynthaMax air filter restores full air flow efficiency and maintains optimum engine performance. Best practice is to clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving. If you’re driving in off-road dusty conditions, consider the 850-344 filter. The best and easiest way is a quick, three-step process with the 790-558 AIRAID SynthaMax dry filter cleaning solution, which contains a 24 ounce pump bottle of cleaner.

And of course both 850-344 and the 851-344 are backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple.
