Enhance Cabin Air Quality with K&N Premium Cabin Air Filter for Toyota/Subaru/Land Rover/Jaguar/Lexus/Scion: High Performance, Washable, Clean Airflow (VF2000) Review

I already had a K&N filter installed on the engine intake so I figured why not use a cabin filter as well? As soon as I turned on the air conditioner after installation, I noticed a big difference in airflow. I can't test the filtering yet as I've only had it installed for a week and haven't ridden much yet. The filter is also extremely durable and the rubber frame seals the compartment securely. I've had paper filters that weren't cut to the right shape, wrinkled, or too small. However, I must

The recommended K&N cabin air filter size Revain didn't fit my car. The OEM filter that was in the car still had some life, so I waited until I put the K&N filter to work. When it came time to change the air filter, I settled on a K&N filter, but it didn't fit. Thank you Revain for your fit recommendations. While waiting for an OEM filter replacement (about 6 weeks) I missed the ever-shortening return window to get the correct filter or my money back. It is best to first obtain information from

Installed on my 2011 Tundra and it fits perfectly. I've considered downgrading it to 4 stars as the other reports of plastic outgassing and odor build-up are genuine. I kept it in my truck for about two weeks and found that there was a lot less dust, but with the heater on there was a little plastic smell. I'll try exposing it to the sun today as others have pointed out to let the plastic outgas more and give it a try. I also bought an upgrade kit but haven't received it yet. Stay tuned! I…

I like the ability to clean and not throw away every time. I noticed a "different" smell in the air after installing and using it for the first time. It was naturally very mild and didn't oversaturate at all. I didn't feel anything else for several kilometers. Maybe it's one of those things where it has an odor to begin with and then you either get used to it and don't smell at all anymore, or the outgassing from the rubber seal or chemical in the area becomes less noticeable over time. Update:

I bought this for my 2012 Subaru Outback. I read other people's reviews about the smell after install and did what others recommended. I took it out of the box and left it in the garage. I've been busy and forgot about it for a while, about 10 days, and then I tested and installed it. Happy to report I have no noticeable odor. This filter is as good quality as probably the 10 K&N inlet filters I've had over the years. Fits perfectly and I expect this filter to last a few years. I also bought a…

The first time I installed it the process was very easy but the first time I drove my Camry with it I noticed a bad rubber smell! SO. I took it off to clean the frame surface and then reinstalled it! The SMELL is still there. Went it in but changed the airflow to recirculation to minimize the SMELL! I ordered another OEM replacement filter and when it arrived I TRIED to remove the K&N only to find the second small door which was very easy to remove was NOW IMPOSSIBLE! Literally HOURS later I…

After 15,000 miles in use I'm still fascinated by a filter that lasts, works well and can be cleaned and reused. After receiving the item, hang it upwind for a day or two to get rid of the (slight) rubber smell. After that the smell doesn't come back. The first cleaning was done at 15,000 km. It looked a little dirty, but a lot of dirt and grime came out. I made my own mixture of sodium perborate and mineral water to clean it, then lightly drizzled it with a 70/30 mixture of rubbing alcohol and

I have mixed feelings about this new type of filter that K&N is offering. Their stock engine air filters are cool, I put them on all four cars but that's not the case. The filter doesn't have as many blankets compared to OEM, but more than the cheapest FRAM filters. All disposable filters have an arrow indicating which side to insert to follow the air out of your vent system, but this K&N filter doesn't, so you'll have to guess how to insert it. Finally, the first time I installed and used the…
