K&N applies the rugged design of its engine air filters to the cabin air filter

K&N quality in cabin filter. what would be better This filter is nothing like the cheap paper cabin air filters you can get at a car dealership or auto parts store. OEM cabin air filters are made from cheap paper. Even the cardboard frame is actually just thicker paper, no cardboard at all. They deform easily and even need an arrow showing airflow. If installed incorrectly, the air flow itself will deform the filter and possibly even destroy it. But the K&N filter has nothing to do with the OEM quality. The filter is manufactured in the same manner as K&N engine air filters using quality components and manufacturing techniques such as: And the perimeter is actually a one piece molded heavy rubber gasket just like those used in the engine. Thus there is no air intrusion around the perimeter. I particularly appreciate the robust design for filter maintenance. Now when I vacuum car carpets with my workshop vacuum cleaner, I simply pull out the cabin filter and vacuum it just as quickly. This is easy because the filter does not fall apart when vacuuming. It's only a one-minute "maintenance" but the filter stays pretty clean. Well done K&N. Transfer of the robust design of the engine air filter to the cabin filter!
