k&n filter issues

mikerae · Oct 11, 2012

i was at my dealer the other day and was told that there is issues with the KN replacement filter in a stock 2010viper, they said that they had issues and they were not sealing properly and dirt was getting in, any idea on this issue

The K&N system is not the best for the GEN IV's. The stock system is actually the best way to go. Dick Winkles mentioned they spent a lot of time developing the stock system.

On the GEN IV's it's not just a filter replacement but a whole different setup. They are almost round filters attached to smooth tubes. I would stay away from the K&N setup on the GEN IV.

are we talking the same generation as the filter is flat and rectangle like the stock, not round.

There were pictures somewhere on here of the setup. Wish I could find them...

I do not have K&N cold air intake, just a filter made for the stock box.

I replaced just my filter with a K+N filter only. My stock one had blow by oil on it so I replaced it when I did the catch can. No issues and the fit is perfict. Just dont think you will get more power from this. I only did it because I like K+N filters. I use them on all my cars no issues as long as you dont under or over oil them
