If you’re looking to really wake up your Ford Mustang, the Blackhawk Induction air intake system is a solid choice. This isn't just any intake; it's designed with some serious thought and engineering behind it. First off, the oil-free synthetic filter media is a game changer. You get all the airflow you need without the hassle of oiling it up—just clean it when it gets dirty, and you’re good to go. The layered DRYFLOW synthetic filter does a fantastic job of keeping your engine safe while letting it breathe better.
Now, let’s talk about the build. The intake tube is made from black powder-coated aluminum, which not only looks sleek but also stands up to the heat. With a steel heat shield in place, you can trust that the air coming in is cooler, which is crucial for performance. Speaking of performance, you can expect an estimated horsepower gain of about 10 HP at 7002 RPM. That’s a noticeable bump when you hit the gas.
Installation is straightforward, too. You can typically get this system up and running in under 90 minutes. Just make sure you check the CARB status if you’re in California—some intakes aren’t legal for use there, so it’s worth a quick look before you dive in.
For those who like to tinker, all the necessary ports and hardware are included, so you won’t find yourself making extra trips to the store. Plus, it’s got a mass air flow sensor adapter, which is always a nice touch.
Just a heads up, this system isn’t street legal in California, so if you’re cruising the streets there, you might want to consider that before pulling the trigger. But for the rest of us, it’s a fantastic upgrade that delivers both in performance and ease of use.

This intake fits a range of Mustangs, including the 2018-2023 models and the EcoBoost version, so you can get that extra edge no matter which pony you’re riding.

K&N, formally known as K&N Engineering, Inc., is the world’s leading manufacturer of washable performance air filters and cold air intake systems. K&N manufactures over 12,000 parts for a wide range of makes and models of motorcycles, cars, SUV, trucks, industrial applications, and more. K&N was founded in 1969 and is headquartered in Riverside, California in a complex of 10 buildings compromising approximately 400,000 square feet. K&N also operates facilities in China, England, and the Netherlands.
In the early 1960s, two motorcycle racers, Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (K&N) developed a revolutionary idea for an air filter—one that could perform under the demands of dusty, dirty off-road environments. After experimenting with different types of filter media, they discovered that an oiled cotton design allowed the filter to capture contaminants efficiently, and also be washed and reused. It was right then and there that the original K&N High-Flow Air Filter was born. Fifty years later, K&N is still dominating the industry with leading filtration technology and innovative products that offer extraordinary protection for virtually every application out there.
What Makes K&N the Best?All K&N products undergo rigorous testing to make sure they adhere to and exceed demanding quality standards. These tests include power, torque, and airflow tests to confirm that the intake products are maximizing power boost while retaining engine safety. The company stands behind its product 100 percent with some of the most extensive warranties in the business – a Million Mile Limited warranty. K&N’s performance air intake systems are designed to improve airflow to the engine by replacing the restrictive factory system with a single aerodynamic tube and highly efficient filter media. The systems are available in two materials. The first is Polyethylene, which is used to produce 57 and 63 series intake systems. The second one is aluminum, which can be found on the 69 and 77 series intake systems.
Advantages of K&N IntakesThe benefits of adding a K&N intake system to your car are plenty. Firstly, it will increase your vehicle’s horsepower and torque, while also improving fuel economy and the appearance of your engine bay. What’s more, it will deliver a satisfying, more aggressive exhaust note at higher RPMs. Each K&N intake includes an oversized filtering unit, which can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, unlike paper filters that can become clogged easily and cannot be washed or reused. In other words, with K&N products, you will never have to replace your air filter again.
Why Install an Aftermarket Intake?Internal combustion engines all work as large air pumps. Air goes in, fuel is added, combustion occurs, and air goes out. This means there are two ways of increasing power: getting more air into the engine or making it easier for air to get out of the engine. Your air intake is responsible for filtering air before it enters your engine. Dirty air can damage the engine cylinder walls, so a high-quality filter is a must-have item. With a K&N system or filter, you increase airflow through the filter, which means more air is pulled into the engine. K&N does this without reducing filtration qualities, so your engine will live a long life.
