I wanted to clean my K&N air filter. __________________ 1999 Mustang 3.8L V6 auto with custom blue paint Current mods: K&N air intake,sct tuner, and dual magnaflow exhaust.

The K&N air filter is more of a pain than I thought it would be to get off though. May not happen today, since I live in a apartment and don't have a garage or anything just a flat head screwdriver. __________________ 1999 Mustang 3.8L V6 auto with custom blue paint Current mods: K&N air intake,sct tuner, and dual magnaflow exhaust.

I don't feel like messing with it all day. I thought it would come right off with the clip loosened. __________________ 1999 Mustang 3.8L V6 auto with custom blue paint Current mods: K&N air intake,sct tuner, and dual magnaflow exhaust.

the lines on hoods work on a tension system, if they come lose from where they originaly are routed, then they wont work, make sure you put it back to where it is suppose to go and make sure its slightly taught before you shut it
