With all the recent talk of air filters letting go causing stuck throttle blades and ect.. ect... i took the time to check mine.

These are from Ford and i just put them in last summer, they have 490 miles on them. Can some one chim in with a part number for an alternative filter? Im not shopping price im more concerned with the quality on this matter?

Subject: Filter for a Ford GT

Do you make a filter for the 2005 Ford GT (GT40 Supercar)?

I found several old posts on the subject { sorry i guess i should have done this first} and it appears there are a couple options.

NO- on the K%N's in my opinion!!


Fram- # CA8958
Napa- 2572

If someone has a better idea i would love to here it.

Thanks Fubar, I thought you might shed some light on the subject.

Please let me know what becomes of that.


I might add one thing.

When i handle the edges of these filters they crumble and fall apart like the foam has somehow been efficted over time, mabie from heat?
They literally just fall apart. I did not have to trim them when they were new as some people have said, they fit great, they just crumble as you handle them.

Pretty disheartening!!!! they are not even 1 year old.
