Outer Limits 4x4 Board

wanting to buy a K&N filter off ebay, now i have 3inch pipe that i want it to be attached to using a hose clamp, what do i search to get that size? do i need to buy a 3inch x 8 inch filter?

and is the flange diameter the size that needs to be 3 inch?

Go to the K&N website and look up the part number you want to buy, they will have all the relevant dimensions on the site.

its the first time im buying one mate, just got rid of the old safari snrkel and now have a custom made one,

so i have 3inch pipe i need to fit the pod to, but just wasnt sure if thats the "flange" diamater

k & n at the top of ya snorkel will probably get flogged you'd be better off with a cheap pod filter mate go to superheap,
buy the k & n for the inside of your airbox , if you go onto there website you'll get a part # for your particular vehicle.

image shows what is what. I believe that "flange inside diameter" ("F") is probably what you need to match to your pipe.

You realise these things are complete shite compared to a proper paper filter though.

You will find a lot of discussion online, including on this forum. I guess it is always debatable but I find the arguments against the K&N filters pretty convincing.

For mine your best bet is to have a good airbox between the outside world and the motor, with a good conventional paper filter in it.

the K & N will have a metal shroud protecting it so it getting smashed isnt a worry to me, and whats a good quality paper filter brand chimp boy? when i do an engine swap ill look into on in an airbox, at this stage ill stick with a pod and then straight through to turbo as it wont be used many times before it all taken out...

K&N are great in road cars where dust is minimal, but off road not so good as they breathe to well and let to much dust through

What the others have said... K&N are only for road (if at all).



Here are some measurements I did OEM against K&N replacement (all land rover 2.5 Tdi filters). The difference may not look like much, but over any length of time it will mean your engine is chewing on a lot of dust with a K&N. Notice also that the K&N measurements level off at ~90% they don't actually get to 100%.

Those who do oil analysis and drive with K&Ns in dusty conditions have found highly elevated silica levels in their oil.

Just personally, if I were on a budget I would look at adapting a box from some other car, like a falcon or commo, which have 75mm outlets, then a paper filter to go inside.

If I had more dough I would look at a donaldson air box.

It depends on available space of course.
