5.0l Direct Blt On Filte

The K&N Engineering 5.0L Direct Bolt On Filter (RU-3130) is a reusable conical air filter element designed for direct mounting applications where a traditional air intake system needs replacement or upgrade. This universal filter features a washable cotton construction that captures airborne particles while allowing maximum airflow to the engine, making it suitable for street-driven vehicles and light performance applications seeking improved air filtration without the restrictive nature of stock filter housings.

The filter's conical design with a 4.625-inch base diameter, 3.5-inch top diameter, and 7-inch height provides optimal surface area for sustained airflow while maintaining structural integrity under normal operating conditions. The 3.5-inch flange accommodates standard clamp-on mounting systems common to many aftermarket intake configurations. Measuring 6 x 5 x 9 inches overall and weighing just 1.02 pounds, this element is lightweight enough for any vehicle class. K&N's reusable cotton media construction eliminates the need for frequent replacement—the filter can be cleaned and re-oiled using K&N's proprietary cleaning kits, offering long-term cost savings compared to disposable paper alternatives.

This filter element serves builders and enthusiasts working with custom intake manifolds, turbocharged or supercharged applications requiring direct-mount filtration, and anyone upgrading from stock restrictive filters. The red finish provides visibility during installation and maintenance. The universal fit specification indicates compatibility across multiple vehicle platforms, though final fitment depends on your specific intake system geometry and clamp diameter. K&N's reputation in the performance filtration space is built on reusable technology that balances airflow gains with reliable particle capture over thousands of miles of operation.
