K&N Drycharger Round Tapered Black Filter Wrap

K&N Drycharger Round Tapered Black Filter Wrap | Water Repellent Pre-Filter

Protect your air intake with the K&N Drycharger Round Tapered Black Filter Wrap. Features silicone-treated polyester mesh to repel water and block fine debris.

The K&N Drycharger Round Tapered Black Filter Wrap acts as an added protective barrier for round tapered high-flow air filters and flame arrestors. Constructed from a durable, silicone-treated polyester mesh, this pre-filter features uniform micron-sized openings designed to stop dirt particles and water splashes without choking your engine's air supply.

Its water-repellent coating ensures that road spray, rain, and moisture bead off instead of saturating the main filter element. Engineered with double-stitched elastic edges, the wrap slips over round tapered filters effortlessly and stays securely in place under aggressive driving conditions. By capturing coarse dust, debris, and water before they hit the primary filter, the K&N Drycharger significantly extends maintenance intervals while maintaining consistent horsepower and throttle response.

Best Uses

1. Off-Road & Trail Driving: Prevents mud, fine dust, sand, and trail debris from clogging the main air filter pleats.
2. Wet Weather & Open-Filter Intakes: Ideal for cold air intakes positioned near lower front bumpers or wheel wells vulnerable to tire spray and rain.
3. Personal Watercraft (PWC) & Marine: Acts as a splash guard over flame arrestors to prevent water ingress.
4. Extended Service Intervals: Perfect for daily drivers or work vehicles operating in dusty environments where reducing main filter cleaning frequency is desired.

 Features

1. Silicone-Treated Polyester Fabric: Formulated to repel water drops while maintaining maximum permeability.
2. Uniform Micron-Sized Openings: Catches fine dust and dirt particles down to 0.005" without restricting airflow.
3. Double-Stitched Elastic Opening: Provides a snug, slip-free fit specifically tailored for round tapered filter geometries.
4. Washable & Reusable Mesh: Easily cleanable using standard K&N filter cleaners to restore freshness.
5. Low-Profile Stealth Black Finish: Provides a clean appearance inside the engine bay while hiding trapped dust.

Benefits

1. Prevents Water Saturation: Limits moisture from reaching the air filter during heavy rain or roadside puddles, protecting against hydrostatic lock risks.
2. Extends Main Filter Service Intervals: Increases the time needed between filter cleanings by stopping large debris before it embeds in the filter pleats.
3. Sustains High-Flow Performance: Prevents sudden drops in airflow caused by surface buildup on the main filter medium.
4. Long-Lasting Water Repellency: The durable hydrophobic treatment typically lasts 1 to 2 years under regular use before needing reapplication.
5. Quick & Tool-Free Installation: Slips over existing round tapered filters in seconds without needing clamps or special tooling.
