Do 94 V6 stangs come stock with a K&N filter of some sorts?

i just got one of those cheap cold air intakes off eBay, thinking it was gona be awesome...so I go to install it today and suddenly notice that my air filter says "K & N" on it, which made me go "wtf?", thinking it should probably be some sort of stock ford intake....

do i already have some kind of performance intake? I got the car second hand so i don't know exactly what's all been done to it...

also, I didn't install my new CAI but i did take out my current filter for shits and giggles, and noticed that my air filter is connected to this rubber thing that goes into the fenderwell....does that mean I already am getting cold air?

Looks like somebody installed it before ya already. that rubber thing is the air silencer, yank it out. Real men dont use rubber

no that is not a cold air intake you MIGHT have a mass air intake (think thats what its called) or you might just have a stock intake with a k&n filter...but you do not have a cold air intake

[chevy_killer]

i would be nice if you had pics....is it metal or is it plastic (the one that was already on there)

[El_Cangri]

does your filter looks like the one of the link the guy after me posted?

[El_Cangri]

and I mean the whole thing ( the tubes and all)

yeah mine looks exactly like that, except it says "K & N" on it. so yes it is plastic...
I don't really get how replacing this with my new CAI would make a difference though cus it seems to still be getting air from the fenderwell.

[El_Cangri]

well your intake is stock... change it for the cai then

[94stallion]

yea i have the same plastic piece your talking about n im debating whether or not to get a cai n if i shouldget a k&n one or just a cheap ebay one, any suggestions?

[El_Cangri]

I would get the the cai from ebay and use GF ram air design

[Murderjetz]

cool...thanks.
I know nothing about cars so I may return to this thread in the future for further assistance on the matter.

Actually there is something that's worrying me a bit...I live out in the boonies and so I have to drive on gravel to get home...which really sucks cus my rear bumper is pretty much constantly dirty, not matter how fuckin slow I drive on it.....
anyways, my concern is that because I drive on gravel every day, is that gona fuck up the air filter at all? with all the dust getting in there and stuff?

not stock probably a previous owner drop in

will this new CAI that I got actually be any better than this one then?

[GreenFaleen]

I swear I already posted, but yeah it is less turbulent and will flow more air, keep both filters so your not out of commission when you are cleaning one

[Murderjetz]

how do you clean an air filter?

[GreenFaleen]

k&n cleaning kit, rinse it off with the cleaner and water, and reapply oil

[crazyjones]

I think what he's talking about is his stock intake? Thats how mine was...

the ruber in that picture is kinda short. mines is pretty long.

[mikethetigerrr]

the one in the pic is short cuz its outta fox.

in my opinion use ur cai tube from ebay and put the k&n filter on it.
