Jeep Cherokee XJ Cold Air Intake

If you’re looking for optimal performance from your car, there are a lot of things you can check. Properly inflated tires and quality fuel are two big factors for getting the most out of your vehicle, but airflow is central to your engine’s performance. Poor airflow will change your fuel economy, cause rough idling, or lead to stalling. Purchasing a new air intake system isn’t always necessary. You could benefit from installing a new K&N air filter.

What to Know About Air Intake Systems

The air intake system is what supplies your engine with continuous airflow to provide power and support better gas mileage. The entire system is made up of several components working together to bring air in from outside the vehicle, mix it with gas and send it through the engine cylinders to create physical energy. The air filter is the first main part of the system. Its job is to keep dirt or other particles out of the air coming into the engine for a clean burn.

The air filter prevents contaminants from getting into the intake systems and clogging up the different parts. It also allows pure oxygen to combine with the gas for a more efficient combustion reaction. This results in better power and engine performance.

Why You Should Consider K&N Filters

When it comes to airflow, more air to your engine equals more power. A K&N filter is much larger than a standard OEM air filter, and this oversized replacement will bring more air into the engine. You will notice an increase in acceleration and added horsepower by upgrading to a K&N filter. K&N uses shorter, fatter tubing to give the air a shorter route to the engine and uses a cotton conical filter specially fitted into a sealed box.

How To Install

Turn off the ignition before you replace your filter. Unlatch the housing for the air filter and remove the old filter. You may have to remove the coupling hose to get into the air cleaner box. Install the K&N air filter to the filter adapter and hold it secure using a hose clamp. Replace the housing and coupling hose.

A clean air filter will have immediate results on your engine’s performance. Shop for K&N filters and parts at Morris 4x4 to give your vehicle a boost.
