The K&N 69-3535TP is a cold-air induction kit for the 5.0L Coyote V8 in the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. It replaces the factory air filter and intake tube. K&N's dyno testing on a stock 2015 GT estimated an increase of 19.25 horsepower and 16.75 ft-lb of torque, and the company notes that individual results vary with mileage, modifications, and the condition of the car.
Compared with stock intake parts or a cheap universal filter, this kit earns its price through reusability and long service intervals. Its oiled cotton filter only requires cleaning every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. K&N backs the kit with a lifetime limited warranty. Owners on user forums describe gains without a tune as modest, so buy this kit for the throttle response, intake note, and long filter life rather than expecting large numbers without calibration.
The manufacturer lists this kit for FORD MUSTANG GT V8-5.0L F/I, 2015-2017, while K&N's launch material refers only to 2015-2016 cars, so confirm your model year before ordering. The aluminum tube has fittings for the mass airflow sensor, crankcase and EVAP vent lines, and idle bypass lines, so the factory connections carry over. The manufacturer says a typical installation can be completed in 60 minutes or less with simple hand tools, though its launch material says the job usually takes about 90 minutes.
The manufacturer's product listing shows fitment for 2015–2017 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 models, while K&N's 2015 launch material refers only to 2015–2016 cars. Confirm your model year with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer's confirmed materials do not list a tune requirement. Owners on user forums report that gains without a tune are small, so check with the manufacturer about calibration before purchase.
Yes. The manufacturer states the intake tube has integrated fittings for the mass airflow sensor, crankcase and EVAP vent lines, and idle bypass lines, so the factory sensor and hoses connect to it.
The manufacturer describes this as a simple hand-tool installation, typically finished in 60 minutes or less, while its launch material estimates about 90 minutes, so plan for somewhere between those times. Reconnect the mass airflow sensor, crankcase and EVAP vent lines, and idle bypass lines to the new tube's fittings before clamping everything down, and check that all clamps and gaskets are seated before starting the engine.
