Vent Air Filter

The K&N Engineering Vent Air Filter (model 62-1600WT) is a universal conical intake element designed for mechanics and enthusiasts seeking improved airflow over restrictive OEM air boxes. This clamp-on filter replaces traditional sealed filter housings, allowing unrestricted air entry while maintaining engine protection—ideal for custom intake builds, cold-air setups, or vehicles where space constraints require compact filtration solutions.

Built from K&N's signature reusable cotton media, this filter element delivers superior airflow compared to single-pass paper alternatives while retaining engine-damaging contaminants. The conical design (2-inch base tapering to 1.5-inch top, standing 1.75 inches tall) maximizes filter surface area without excessive height, critical for underhood clearance in tight engine bays. Flange options of 0.375 and 0.5 inches accommodate various clamp diameters, while the white cotton construction resists moisture and remains serviceable for years—simply clean and re-oil using K&N's maintenance kit for sustained performance and cost savings versus disposable filters.

This universal filter suits street machines, weekend track cars, and modified builds where intake velocity and air charge temperature matter. Its lightweight construction (0.16 lbs) adds negligible mass, making it practical for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged applications. Verify clamp diameter compatibility before purchase—the dual flange sizing ensures fitment across most aftermarket intake manifolds and custom carburetor stacks, though physical measurement of your existing intake tube is essential for hassle-free installation.
