About K&N
K&N developed this NextGen system around the packaging and airflow demand of the listed 2.7L turbocharged inline-four vehicles. The American 6063 aluminum with a gunmetal finish path works with a vehicle-shaped semi-enclosed airbox and an oversized oiled cotton gauze filter rather than a universal tube-and-filter combination.
Related Parts
- No internal product is linked because replacement filters, cleaning supplies, and companion intake parts must match K&N 70-3122 and the exact 2.7L turbocharged inline-four configuration.
FAQ
