Yes, My wife purchased a certified used Honda from a dealer. The first thing i checked to see how well the dealership performed their maintenance was the air filter. No surprise to find that it was probably the original paper air filter clogged up with obvious debris and dirt. I quickly installed the clean surgical cotton air filter. The Engine Asthma was eliminated...YT Very safisfied Customer Thanks

I had to replace the filter for the first time on my new car at 15k. Since normal air filters go for $12-$20 a piece, it just made sense to buy a K&N filter and recharge kit. It pays off most on a new car that you plan to keep for a while.
Reviewed by Mike D (PUYALLUP, WA) — Thursday at 7:49 AM
I appreciate how quickly that the filter arrived to my door. The installation was very easy, four screw/bolts that hold the lid to the air box on and out with the old-in with the new. Not related to the filter, but a problem with the screws/bolts with Honda. If you slightly over tighten any of them, they will shear off in a section right below the head-be careful!!
Reviewed by Alexander M (Lake Linden, MI) Reviewed for a 2006 Ford Fusion — Thursday at 5:57 AM
I purchased a K&N filter for my 2006 Ford Fusion 3.0L V6. The install was a breeze and the filter seemed to be of a lot higher quality than the paper filter I took out (duh). It definitely felt like a good fit and seal. I haven't noticed any performance gains in mpgs or power, but it'd be hard to tell the difference between 220hp and 222hp or whatever. I'll be happy with my purchase if it lasts forever like it says it will.

I just installed a K&N air filter on my 2010 Mazda CX7 why is it so much thinner than the factory filter ?
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 22, 2013 11:15 AM
Hi, It's because your factory filter relies on a massive surface area to flow air through the restrictive filter material. The K&N material flows incredibly well and uses a light oil coating to trap particles.

I would like to know if you have the K&N Air Filter for Mitsubishi Lancer 2012 1.6L engine. If yes I would like to order for the same, also what’s the difference between the K&N Air Filter and K&N Air intake system?
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jul 05, 2012 1:23 PM
At this time K&N does not yet have a filter for the 1.6L engine. The difference between the air filter and air intake is the air filter is just a replacement air filter for your stock intake. An air intake is a complete replacement of the stock intake with a high flow performance intake, which gives you even more performance and gas mileage.

Fuel economy testing and mileage claims are a tricky business. A lot of exaggerated claims are made in the marketplace by products claiming to improve gas mileage. K&N makes no general fuel economy claims, however we encourage you to try one for yourself. Keeping air filter restriction as low as possible can be an important tool, among others, for maintaining high mileage.

Will one of these K&N air filters help save fuel consumption? I'd love to improve my MPG. I know things can vary from vehicle to vehicle, but if this panel filter would help, approximately how much could my fuel economy improve?
Answered by Michael K. — Jan 05, 2012 3:57 PM
Hey Ryan, it ultimately depends on how and where you drive, but many customers report MPG gains after installing a K&N air filter. Performance is improved due the increased volume of air flowing into the engine. Since your engine is making more power, it can take less RPMs (or a reduced engine load) to maintain cruising velocity. If you keep a light foot, you could see some improvement, 1-2 MPG is typical, but some customers have reported gains up to +5 MPG.

Answered by Ryan K. — Dec 19, 2011 8:56 AM 2008 Pontiac G8
The air filter is inside a big air box under your hood, usually found on the passenger side. The exact location varies by car, but if you look in the owners manual, there should be a diagram. Once you locate the air box, you should see some clips holding the top of the air box to the bottom. If you undo the clips, you should be able to lift off the lid and see the air filter.

Answered by Michael K. — Dec 16, 2011 12:01 PM
Hey Andrew, overall, installing a K&N air filter is a simple procedure. Just pop the hood, open up the air box, swap air filters and then close everything up. The most important thing is to make sure the air filter is seated properly. If it's not seated property, unfiltered air can enter your engine. Here's a video we made that shows how to install a K&N air filter on a new Chevy Camaro, hope this helps.
