Review: Performance - Easy to install fits perfectly great quality and airflow
Review: Why Skimp? - I also had one of these filter wraps on my last K&N CAI kit and you just can't beat them. I don't mind spending money on my ride but this thing looks like a napkin for $30. Don't feel bad though, I had one of these on my truck's CAI for almost three years and they just work great! It keeps a lot of the small dust / junk out of your filter so it stays cleaner longer for better performance and the wrap can just be wiped down with a clean dry rag to keep it from adding restriction. When first installed it fits tight & takes a little careful work to get it on the filter. The elastic in each end will relax for a looser fit over a year or so but even then it never slipped off my filter and kept right on working great! It is worth the cost for the protection and good look you get from it, I highly recommend this product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps Bugs off the K&N Filter
*by M***M on April 23, 2022*

I purchased this item to cover the K&N Air Filter under the hood of my 2002 Tahoe. Fits like a glove on the conical shaped filter. It does the job and keeps large bugs from clogging up the air filter and ensures water does not soak it in the heavy rains as well Highly recommend, wish it was not so expensive, but worth it.
