Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Ford Shelby GT350?
The engine air filter protects the 5.2L V8s intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans the air your HVAC sends into the passenger area.
On the 2017 Ford Shelby GT350, the engine filter supports combustion efficiency and helps maintain power by keeping debris out of the intake tract. The cabin filter traps dust and allergens for interior comfort. Each filter lives in a different housing and uses distinct media tailored to its job.

- Cabin filter = HVAC and passenger air quality
- Different locations, service steps, and media
