K&N 63 Series Intake 63-9030

FastEddieTRD · 04-13-2007, 03:36 PM

I just installed the 63-9030 into my FJ as well. It looks, and sounds great. I'll still need some more time to evaluate the performance and mileage improvements.

The install was straightforward, and relatively easy except for step #23. The crank case vent fitting just does not fit with the hardware K&N provides. We tried to finesse it, by lubricating the grommet... no go. Then we tried brute strength, the weight of two men. After much effort the vent fitting broke!?!

I’m not exactly sure which of the 3 components is too small vs. large, but when I called K&N and described the problem; they quickly offered to send me out a new grommet. Seems like they may have included a grommet #082000, which is too small for its specific application. I'd urge anyone who has bought this kit to call K&N's 800 number for clarification, and possible replacement parts.

They should have straighten that out before they put it on the market. I read others with breaking the crank case vent fitting!

Does this air filter void the warranty? I am thinking of putting this on my FJ that has the TRD exhausted already installed.

thanks, david5272

Keep your old hardware, and swap it out come smog day, if need be.

Yes I contacted K&N with the same problem last week with the CIA I purchased 2 months ago. Explained that when I went to Toyota they informed me I would have to buy new air cleaner system for 800+ and that I had Jerry rigged it. Rep said he knew that Toyota sold that part alone and advised that he would call back that day with a Toyota dealer Phone# with the part available!!!!!..............................Havn't heard from him yet??????????

Keep calling them. They didn't return my calls, nor do they want to acknowledge the (THEIR) problem. Said that they didn't have customer complaints (BS!). I guess they just hope it "goes" away.
Too bad to... a good product, aside from the minor flaw... $h!tty company managment/ customer service! BUYER BEWARE... LOOK TOWARDS ALTERNATIVES!!!
