There will be your normal ones that are easily replaced but there also may be 1 or 2 bronze filters that are hidden. You may need to call the local mustang service agent and speak to their service department and see if they will tell you (some companies will not give out any information).Hopefully there are other people on the forum that know more than i do about these machines.Ooh, you are running the machine at full or near full throttle rite? you really need to have the revs up when the machine is operating or it will really groan and stall.I hope this is of at least some help. Good luck!</blockquote>
