These are the clips that you
need to unclip to open the airbox.
This is the clean side of the
stock air cleaner. It looks pretty good.
This is the dirty side of the
same air filter. Not so bad really.
This is the stock air box with
leaves and whatever else are in it. Better there than in the engine
These are the indentations. They
go into the air box on the far side from the metal clips.
This is one flexible filter.
It was kind of floppy which is why I took this pic.
This is the K&N resting
peacefully in its new home.
This is a full size pic of the
filter.
The stock filter seemed to be
falling apart. I thought it was ripped but I was able to push the rubber
seal back on.
Look at how much thicker the
stock filter is than the K&N
This is a side by side. It
doesn't show it but the K&N was a little bit wider and sealed better
in the air box.
This is a warning sticker. If
you let other people work on your car and you have a K&N then put this
on. I told one mechanic to leave my filter alone on another car and he
still blew compressed air through the thing. In case you're wondering,
compressed air can damage your K&N filter.
