2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 Gets Boost in Ponies with a K&N Performance Intake
- 8 Feb 2016
When the Ford Mustang was first introduced, the Blue Oval marketing department decided to give young buyers something they'd never had before: Choices. Prior to 1964, a vehicle's equipment was determined by its trim level. The 1964 Mustang on the other hand, came with a huge list of options that could be ordered ala carte. For the 2015 Ford Mustang, designers tried to capture the spirit of Ford’s original pony car by giving it iconic styling cues, and a laundry list of exciting options. One of these choices was the 300-hp 3.7L V6, which offers budget-minded buyers the thrill of a Mustang, and the fuel economy of something more practical. 300 horsepower is nothing to scoff at. But if you’re wishing you had V8 like performance, K&N can help increase the horsepower in your pony car by installing the K&N 63-2594 Performance Intake System. An engine makes power by igniting a mixture of fuel and air inside the cylinders. The resulting explosion forces the piston down, which turns the crankshaft and sends power to the wheels. Introducing a large volume of oxygen-rich cold air into the cylinders, causes the fuel to explode with greater force, and allows the engine to make more power using roughly the same amount of fuel. The K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System is engineered to feed your 2015 Mustang V6 engine a steady supply of cool air. This helps you get more horsepower, more torque, and faster throttle response. K&N installed this air intake system on a 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L, and dyno testing showed an estimated 7.49 horsepower increase, and 7.72 additional foot-pounds of torque. Of course, your individual results could vary due to the mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific car. But even coming close to that number will make a significant difference in the way your 2015 Mustang V6 drives.
To turn your Mustang into a thoroughbred, the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System does several things. First, it ditches the narrow, restricted factory intake for a wide diameter K&N intake tube that has been aerodynamically designed to straighten out the airflow path, and reduce turbulence. The K&N 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 air intake also has fittings for the factory EVAP and crank case vent lines, which means you won't have to make any modifications. Using just a few sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers, you should be able to install this entire K&N performance kit in about 90 minutes. The photos in the detailed installation guide will walk you through each step, and the K&N technical support team is available to answer any questions that may arise. The final and most important part of the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Air Intake System is the high-volume conical K&N air filter. It's mounted behind an application specific air filter heat shield to prevent the warm engine bay air from mixing with the cooler air that's coming into the system. This reusable cotton gauze air filter can capture dirt particles that are smaller in diameter than a human hair, and it can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings (depending on road conditions).
Many famous V8-powered Mustangs didn't make anywhere near the horsepower of a 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 and adding a K&N 63-Series AirCharger Intake will give your pony more power than a 1995 Mustang SVT Cobra R (300-hp), 2007 Mustang GT California Special (300-hp), or a 1970 Mustang Shelby GT350 (300-hp). The K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake comes with a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty, and will not void the manufacturer’s factory warranty. But that's just the start, because K&N makes lots of other Mustang performance parts that are guaranteed to give your pony car a lot more giddy-up.
