The K&N 63-2589 AirCharger air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on some Ford Mustang models. K&N air intakes are designed to dramatically reduce air intake restriction as well as smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine’s RPM range. The 63-2589 air intake comes with a chrome-topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the original air box space. Air is directed through an aerodynamically engineered intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for guaranteed power gain. The tube accommodates the factory crank case vent hose and air inlet temperature sensor as well as the blow-off valve. The oversized cone-shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed, depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less using your vehicle’s existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, ratchet set and an Allen wrench. This air intake cannot be sold in California. It is not legal for use in California or other states adopting California emission standards.

  • Guaranteed horsepower gain
  • Designed to improve throttle response and engine sound
  • Free-flowing high density polyethylene tube
  • Replaces entire factory air intake system
  • Easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less
  • K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty

Max Energy™…The Best Hand-Held Performance Tuner on the Market!

Max Energy Tuning extracts every bit of energy possible out of every molecule of fuel, giving you more miles at part-throttle and more power at wide-open throttle. In order to increase engine efficiency, horsepower and torque, our engineers first optimize the spark and fuel curves point by point over the entire RPM band. With the additional power and optimized transmission functions, drivers use less fuel to accelerate and maintain cruising speeds without the torque converter unlocking or transmission down-shifting. The results are maximum power and fuel mileage.

  • Optimized engine tuning for premium octane (+34 Hp, +19 Tq)
  • Lower or raise the top-speed limiter to match the speed rating of factory-approved high-performance tires
  • Speedometer/odometer correction for tire sizes from 24″-30″ & rear gear ratios from 2.56:1-5.13:1
  • Disable 1-4 skip shift (Corvette w/manual transmission)
  • Adjust rev limiter +/- 500 RPM in 100 RPM increments
  • Read, display & clear DTCs

Hedman’s Standard-Duty, Uncoated Headers are manufactured using 18-gauge, mandrel-bent primary tubes (some models built using thicker 16- or 14-gauge tubing) and 1/4 flanges (some models use 3/8″ flanges).

Attention 2015 Ford Mustang 5.0L owners: If you’re looking to add some oomph to your ride, consider the simple, bolt-on performance upgrade you’ll get from AIRAID’s Modular Intake Tube (450-932).

Airaid Ford Mustang 5.0
Airaid Ford Mustang 5.0

Factory setups don’t always give you what you need to get the most out of your engine. Accordion-shaped walls, undersized tubes, and sound-cancelling baffles can all diminish airflow. The AIRAID MIT provides a straighter intake channel while improving the position of your Mustang’s mass-air sensor.

Working with your car’s factory throttle body and intake box, the AIRAID 450-932 features cross-linked, high-strength polyethylene material; stainless steel hose clamps; and a silicone coupler and hump hose. The American-made Modular Intake Tube was designed to accommodate all your factory sensors and fittings. And if all that weren’t enough, AIRAID’s no-hassle warranty makes the final decision easy.

Head on over to your local Parts Pro retailer to grab an AIRAID Modular Intake Tube for your 2015 Mustang 5.0. Or find your closest affiliated store using our dealer locator.
