I'm looking for an oil filter recommendation for my recently purchased 04 cobra. I'd like to stay with stuff that is readily available. I have access to baldwin and fleetguard filters, then all the regular auto parts store stuff wix, mobil 1, k&n, fram etc. I had planned to try mobil 1 for a 5k oci. any recommendations on that?

While the Mobil 1 is a very high quality filter, it's also way overpriced, unless you can get it as part of an oil & filter "deal" from a FLAPS.
IMHO, the "best" filter on a value-for-money basis for a Ford product is the good ol' Motorcraft FL820S, available at most FLAPS and even at Wally World for under $4.00.
I have a good friend with a supercharged '07 Shelby GT that's been extensively modified and has 760 RWHP, and that's the filter he uses.

Sorry, what is FLAPS?
As to the OP, anything Ford I would not stray from Motorcraft filters. They're just too good and not that hard to pay for, even from dealerships in Canada. In the US they must cost half what I pay here like everything else
They are some of the best filters I've ever used on anything. My Ranger will never see any other brand unless they change something and go downhill.

They are all pretty comparable, and all have a silicon ADBV which is good. Of those 3, the PureOne has the best advertised filtering efficiency.

is there any concern that finer filtering would hurt the flow any? or is that a nonfactor. it will routinely see 6500 rpm.

Used Nothing but Motocraft on my 03 from 14k when purchased to 105k when I sold it. The car ran like a top.
Although people will deny it, FRAM is a great filter as well. We have used nothing but FRAM OCOD and High Milage filters for almost 90K without an issue. One went close to 10K without an issue. JMO though.
I'd go with MC.

FLAPS was invented here, but not by me...
This place is the KING of acronyms: PP, PYB, M1, VWB, MC, UOA, ADBV, etc...and my favourite: PU.
