Product Description

The K&N 33-2459 is a high-flow, washable drop-in panel air filter engineered as a direct replacement for the factory air filter in all 2010-2016 Honda CR-Z models across both the ZF1 and ZF2 chassis generations. The CR-Z pairs its 1.5L L4 gasoline engine with Honda's IMA hybrid system - and this filter optimizes the air intake side of that equation, delivering significantly more airflow than the restrictive OEM paper filter while maintaining up to 99% filtration efficiency. The result is improved throttle response and measurable horsepower gains on the gasoline engine, complementing the CR-Z's hybrid-tuned power delivery.

Installation is a direct drop-in - remove the factory filter and place the K&N into the airbox with no tools or modifications needed. With a service interval of once every 75,000 miles and K&N's 10-Year/Million Mile Warranty, the 33-2459 is the definitive long-term air filter upgrade for every CR-Z owner, covering every model year and trim from the car's 2010 debut through its final 2016 production year.
