Using this K&N Performance Airbox is easy. First, you need to remove the factory air filter and air box. Then, connect the fully enclosed injection - molded air box to the factory air intake hose. You can use common tools for this installation, and it fits in the previous air box space. When it comes to maintenance, check the filter regularly. When it gets dirty, remove the removable lid to access the filter for cleaning. Remember to check the K&N catalog or website to make sure it's compliant with the TUV regulations for your specific vehicle. Also, keep in mind that this air box is built to last the life of your vehicle, but if you have any issues, K&N's No - Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty has got you covered.
