DIY : Installing the K&N filter

1. This is the picture of my engine. Obviously step number ONE is open your bonnet! hehehe
Notice how clean it is...clean on the outside...clean on the inside too!
.
2. Un-hook the clips on the air filter box. Notice the red cirles on the pic, it shows you the location of those clips.

Four Clips all together...sorry the red circles are pretty hard to see....

More pics on how to un-clip those hooks...pretty easy.

3. Gently lift up the upper box by using your thumb. Now the stock filter can be removed by sliding it out to the side.

Notice the strong muscular thumb...

This is how the stock air filter looks like after approximately 4500++ KMs. Quality is not bad for a paper type filter!

4. Remove the K&N filter from its box. And tear open the plastic coverings.

Comparison between K&N filter and stock filter.

5. Lift up the upper box again. Notice how i used my thumb to lift it from the side. Slide in the K&N filter.

Notice it fits in so nicely...

6. Make sure the filter sits nicely on its place. Clip back on the 4 clips as shown above. Make sure that the air filter box is sealed properly.

DONE!

Things you need...

  1. Index fingers... to pry open the clips.
  2. A strong muscular thumb....to lift up the filter box.
