1. Start the engine with the transmission in neutral.
Listen for air leaks or odd noises. For air leaks se-
cure hoses and connections. For odd noises, find
cause and repair before proceeding. This kit will
function identically to the factory system except for
being louder and much more responsive.
2. Test ride the vehicle. Listen for odd noises or
rattles and fix as necessary.
3. If road test is fine, you can now enjoy the added
power and performance from your kit.
4. K&N Engineering, Inc., requires cleaning the in-
take system’s air filter element every 50,000 miles.
When used in dusty or off-road environments, our
filters will require cleaning more often. We recom-
mend that you visually inspect your filter once
every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still
visible. When the screen is no longer visible some
place on the filter element, it is time to clean it. To
clean and re-oil, purchase our filter Recharger
®
service kit, part number 99-5050 or 99-5000 and
follow the easy instructions.
