Default 4th Gen K&N FIPK Tidbit

Any of the members who have this setup will appreciate this info as well all know when installing the filter it is a HUGE pain. While I was changing the oil I decided to clean the filter since it was filthy. While the car was jacked up to change the oil it occured to me to take off the driver side wheel and partially remove the inner plastic fender. There are 2 bolts on the bottom, 2 smaller ones on the inside of the fender and one plastic plug. This new way you could have the filter out in 10 minutes. The filter was right in your face! Why didn't K&N do this?

note... this is for LT1 type years. this is also normally the case for all vehicles as in order to remove all the stock baffling you need to pull back the wheel fender walls

yep. I had that setup on my LT1. The only drawback is you better make sure you don't drive it through any standing water. it doesn't have to be very deep at all with the filter being that low, you'll suck it right up and hydrolock the motor
