K&N Customer for life...

The coupler that connects the FIPK to MAF on an LT1 car is not an easy part to source. Mine has been "shrinking" over the years and I noticed that the 4.25"-3.5" reducer actually had a bottlneck down to 3" in the middle of that reducer. I was looking around for options, and was about to head to Home Depot or Lowe's for a Fernco fitting. I called up K&N to see how much the part costs directly from them as the new version of the FIPK looks like it has a nicer/newer design. I got a CSR within 30 seconds of dialing and explained my situation. She asked when I purchased the kit (1998) and then asked for my contact info. I asked how much it would cost, she said "Nothing! It's covered under warranty." I knew the filters were lifetime, but I had no idea that the rubber fittings, band clamps, and plastic elbow would also be covered!

Bottom line, any CAI or filter I need in the future will be coming from K&N. I have no affiliation, just wanted to pass along a good experience with an American company (I believe/hope all their parts are still Made in the USA anyway!).

Always good to hear stories of large companies standing behind their products like that.

I read that page earlier, and though the filters are made in the USA (and UK), I'm not sure about the hard parts. Seems like most molded plastics are made in China, but we can hope I guess!

I had a similar issue on a cai I had on my old truck. The coupler broke on me when I went to clean the filter so I called them and pretty much the same story. They sent me a new one super fast.

Mine has been doing the same thing and I was just living with it till I saw this. Just called them and the new part is on its way ;0
