This cold air intake system has a large K&N high-flow air filter that is washable, reusable and flows more air than the OEM air filter while keeping filtration levels critical to extended engine life. Installation of the 69-6012TS is straightforward. K&N provides comprehensive directions that guide you through the install process. A typical install takes fewer than 90 minutes and simply requires everyday hand tools.
