Simply remove the stock air box and fit the oversized MAS adaptor into the original intake hose. The new chrome top filtercharger fits onto the MAS adaptor and is supported by a bracket assembly.

The stock air box intake is refitted as well as a new cold air hose to deliver cooler outside air directly to the K&N Air Filter for added performance.

It should take 90 minutes or less to install this K&N Air Induction System with standard hand tools.

“The mud bog was separate from the rock race,” said Craig Stumph. “Sixty competitors entered the event and the atmosphere was filled with electricity.”

Mike won the rock racing unlimited stock class in one-minute four-seconds. “That was the best time on the 1/8 mile course,” said Stumph. “There was a wall of logs on the extreme course. Each log was the size of a telephone pole and they were stacked with dirt in between each log. Mike hit it hard and just right to go right over it. He just punched it.”

The heat shield is engineered to allow the continued use of the factory fresh air duct. It also isolates the oversized round tapered K&N High-Flow Air Filter (RU-4960) from engine bay heat. In addition to increasing power the K&N Air Intake system is designed to increase filtering capacity and improve throttle response.

As air passes the filter, it travels through the textured black aluminum tube that is attached to the throttle body. This K&N Air Intake keeps all factory vacuum operated emissions controls operational. The K&N intake tube has a fitting for the factory air injection hose which hooks up to the air injection pump, a factory emissions control device. It takes about 90 minutes to install this K&N Air Intake. It is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
