Description
The K&N High-Flow Original Lifetime Engine Air Filter (knn33-2857) is designed for compatibility with multiple high-performance vehicles, including models from Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Land Rover Range Rover, and Audi Q7. Here’s a breakdown of its features and specifications:
Key Features
-
Enhanced Performance: Made with a specialized, layered cotton media treated with a tacky oil, this filter increases airflow while effectively trapping contaminants. This design enhances horsepower, acceleration, and overall engine responsiveness.

Durability and Reusability: Constructed from high-quality materials to withstand engine demands, K&N’s filter is washable and reusable, offering a sustainable solution that lasts the life of the vehicle with proper maintenance.
