Using your K&N 57i Series intake kit is straightforward. First, make sure your engine is cool. You can either attach the filter directly to the engine carburetor or throttle body, or use the tube assembly to connect it indirectly. When it comes to maintenance, you don't have to worry too often. The large air filter can last up to 100,000 miles before it needs cleaning. However, if you notice a significant drop in performance or a lot of dirt on the filter, it's time for a clean. Also, remember that this intake kit is not legal for use in California and other states that follow California emission standards. So, before you install it, check your local regulations to avoid any legal issues.
