Review: •THE BEST• - This is a must addition to your car. Size was perfect fit, great quality, and it does what it’s suppose to do. Highly Recommended!
Review: Why Skimp? - I also had one of these filter wraps on my last K&N CAI kit and you just can't beat them. I don't mind spending money on my ride but this thing looks like a napkin for $30. Don't feel bad though, I had one of these on my truck's CAI for almost three years and they just work great! It keeps a lot of the small dust / junk out of your filter so it stays cleaner longer for better performance and the wrap can just be wiped down with a clean dry rag to keep it from adding restriction. When first installed it fits tight & takes a little careful work to get it on the filter. The elastic in each end will relax for a looser fit over a year or so but even then it never slipped off my filter and kept right on working great! It is worth the cost for the protection and good look you get from it, I highly recommend this product!
