K&N Air filter

MuddyFJ · 05-06-2008, 07:16 AM

I installed a K&N air filter and I noticed that there is a another paper element
on the throttle side of the plastic air box. Does this filter need to be changed also to get the full benifit of the free flowing K&N? If so, how do I go about removeing it? Thanks!

You don't remove that one, it is not a user replaceable filter.

Just drop in the K&N and you are good to go...

Its a carbon filter to keep gas fumes from exiting the vehicle.

is there a noticable gain with K&N air filter?

My husband's has a K&N and it sounds different than mine without a K&N.

You will get more resonance with a long tube CAI. (Better perfomance too, which = better milage, just try to keep yor foot out of it!-It aint easy) Tim

Just remember that you have to clean the K&N. I just took mine out and it's gunked up pretty good. It's lifetime but you do have to keep it clean.
