I looked up the part numbers its for a Jeep Liberty.

 

That's weird.. everything I found shows VW...

 

I just installed mine. Seems to make the regular mode a bit more responsive and less dead feeling. But then again, my *** dyno isn't all that accurate

 

Just put mine in also and the fit is perfect. I didn't drive it around yet, but during idle it didn't sound any different. Hopefully this will yield a bit more HP and some more MPG...Darshana S...

 

BTW - for all you guys that installed... those the Air box cover on the IS-F have that extra Charcoal Filter mesh ???

Thanks

I remove my Charcoal yesterday and it sounds and respond better with the K&N

 

Looks as though Tom's just released one. Not sure as to how it will compare to the K&N and stock. I don't know much about what performance enhancement their previous filters have yielded.

Nice, good find! We should hear more from K&N about an air filter soon

 

Just a quick follow up question on the charcoal filter, does have something to do with the A/C or just for the engine?

 

this is gonna sound like a dumb question. but how do u get into the air filter???

 

Hey Joe do you know where I can get darkened headlight and break covers for the IS-F? Thanks

 

just dont feel like reading the manual... anyone?

 

I will install mine today and I'll try to take some pictures for reference

 

I got it installed road test it got a ticket, just kidding. Unfortunately, it's a little bit hard when I installed the filter and I was wasn't able to take step by step pictures I only have one and it's step one lol sry.

 

It's not too hard, just take your time:

1. Remove the front and passenger side black engine covers.
2. Remove the stock rubber intake hose from the airbox and throttle body...you need to do this so you can get more room to remove the intake box cover holding on the stock air filter.
3. Undo the latches for the stock airbox on top and remove the airbox cover holding on the air filter. Be careful to remove the MAF sensor wire from the box that is clipped on.
4. Replace air filter and reverse the above steps.

Hope that helps...Darshana S..
