K&N Engineering makes universal air filters for a wide variety of applications. A new universal round tapered (cone) air filter, part# RU-5168, has just been released that will expand this wide range of applications even further. This filter expands the selection choices for those needing a 3.375 inch flange filter. No matter what type of application you may have, one of our K&N Universal Air Filters will probably fit your equipment's air intake.

The RU-5168, like all K&N Universal Air Filters, is washable and reusable. It is constructed with ultra-strong molded pliable rubber edges which absorb vibration and allow for a secure, strong attachment. The flange can also be stretched up to 1/16 inches (1.5mm) to fit in-between sizes.

The new RU-5168 cone shaped filter has a 5.813 inch (148 mm) base outside diameter, and a 3.375 inch (86 mm) flange inside diameter. The flange length is 0.625 inch (16mm) which allows plenty of room to clamp around many engine intakes. The height of the filter is 6.0 inches (152 mm) with a top outside diameter of 4.0 inches (102mm).

K&N Universal Air Filters are ideal for extended use in dirty and dusty conditions. They are designed to provide virtually unrestricted air flow while providing excellent engine protection.
