The AIR FILTER provides clean combustion air with high flow capacity for the engine. A fresh air filter is the first line of defense against engine wear from airborne contaminants that can score cylinder walls and rings. Part 03650 is configured for its specific application with attention to fitment requirements.

This filter uses the appropriate media — pleated paper or cotton gauze — and fits the stock air box without modification. Rated for the vehicle's airflow requirements. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory filter element. Product 03650 is verified for correct specifications and dimensional accuracy before shipment.

A clean air filter is essential for maintaining engine performance and fuel economy. Restricted filters increase pumping losses and reduce power. Regular replacement prevents contamination of MAF sensors and throttle bodies. SKU 803650 is backed by the manufacturer's quality guarantee and our satisfaction commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much horsepower can I gain by installing this cold air intake on my daily driver?

This cold air intake system delivers a proven gain of 10 to 15 horsepower on most applications by replacing the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow air filter and smooth mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube. The horsepower increase comes from reduced intake restriction and cooler intake air temperatures, which allow the engine to advance timing and run a more efficient air-fuel ratio. The factory engine computer adapts to the increased airflow within 50 to 100 miles of driving as the oxygen sensors adjust fuel trims. For maximum power, pair this intake with a performance programmer that recalibrates the fuel and timing maps specifically for the increased airflow. The washable cotton air filter saves money over the life of the vehicle by eliminating disposable filter replacements.

Do I need a professional tune after installing this short ram intake system on my vehicle?

Most modern vehicles with this short ram intake system will self-adjust the air-fuel ratio through the mass airflow sensor feedback within 50 to 100 miles of driving, so a professional tune is not strictly required. The engine control unit automatically compensates for the increased airflow by modifying fuel trim cells 10 to 15 percent to maintain the correct air-fuel ratio. However, to fully realize the horsepower gain, a custom tune via a handheld programmer can add an additional 5 to 8 horsepower by optimizing the ignition timing and fuel delivery. Vehicles with a speed-density system using a MAP sensor benefit more from a tune because they lack a MAF sensor to automatically measure the airflow increase. For most daily drivers, the included air filter and intake tube provide noticeable throttle response improvement without any additional tuning.

How often should I clean the reusable air filter in this performance intake system?

The reusable cotton air filter in this performance intake system should be cleaned and re-oiled every 30,000 to 50,000 miles under normal paved-road driving conditions. If you frequently drive on gravel roads or in dusty off-road conditions, reduce the cleaning interval to 15,000 to 20,000 miles to maintain optimal airflow and engine protection. To clean the filter, gently tap loose dirt off the filter surface, apply the dedicated filter cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water from the inside out, and allow it to air dry for 2 to 3 hours. After drying, apply filter oil evenly to the cotton media following the manufacturer's instructions and let it cure for 20 minutes before reinstalling. Over-oiling the filter by more than 20 percent beyond the recommended amount can contaminate the mass airflow sensor and cause drivability issues.

What tools are needed to install this FILTER in my vehicle at home?

Installing this FILTER at home requires basic automotive hand tools including a socket set, combination wrenches, screwdrivers, and a torque wrench capable of measuring 10 to 100 foot-pounds. A floor jack and jack stands are needed if installation requires wheel removal or under-vehicle access. Thread locker, anti-seize compound, and silicone sealant may be required depending on the specific application and installation environment. A repair manual or online guide for your specific vehicle provides torque specifications and removal procedures for surrounding components. Most DIY installations of this FILTER take 1 to 4 hours depending on accessibility and experience level.

Does this FILTER require any modifications to the vehicle for proper fitment and operation?

This FILTER is designed for direct bolt-on installation in most compatible vehicles without requiring cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications. Some vehicles may require minor clearancing of adjacent components by 0.125 to 0.250 inches for proper clearance. Always perform a test fit before final assembly to verify the FILTER clears all surrounding components including brackets, hoses, and wiring harnesses. If minor modifications are needed, use appropriate tools and techniques to maintain the structural integrity of surrounding components. The FILTER is designed to be fully reversible, allowing the vehicle to return to stock configuration if the component is removed.
