Product Description

The K&N E-1080 is a premium performance replacement air filter engineered specifically for older Jeep models and related AMC/Dodge platforms. With its high-flow cotton gauze media and round drop-in design, it lets you boost airflow and engine breathing without modifying the factory air box. The reusable design means fewer replacements and long vehicle-life serviceability.

Installation is straightforward: simply remove your OEM filter element, clean the air box if necessary, and insert the K&N E-1080. Because it is pre-oiled and ready to install, no additional preparation is required. The dimensions (8" ID x 10" OD x 2.25" H) ensure a fit in many older Jeep/AMC applications using the round air filter housing. While the listing covers confirmed fitment through 1990, usage beyond those model years is not verified and should be checked against your vehicle's OEM part number.

This filter is perfect for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading older Jeep CJ/YJ and Cherokee XJ models who want improved performance and long-term durability from their air intake system, while maintaining the factory look and functionality. Please verify vehicle engine and model year before purchasing to ensure correct fitment.
