2017 Ford Shelby-Gt350 Air Filter in Mesa, AZ

The engine air filter sits in a sealed intake air box inside the engine bay, upstream of the mass airflow sensor.

On the 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 with the 5.2L V8, the air box is mounted ahead of the engine with ducting feeding the V-shaped intake. Access typically requires unclipping the air box cover and loosening intake clamps. If you prefer professional service in Mesa, our technicians can inspect and replace it while checking for debris or leaks.
