K&N Black Drycharger Air Filter Wrap (7.5" Base x 4.5" Top x 9" H) | [Part # RC-5046DK](cite: 1.1.5, 1.2.1)

Protect your intake filter with the K&N Black Round Tapered Drycharger Wrap [Part # RC-5046DK](cite: 1.1.5, 1.2.1). Features silicone-treated water-repellent polyester to block splashes, dust, and debris while maintaining maximum airflow.

The K&N Drycharger Air Filter Wrap (Part # RC-5046DK) is a pre-filter designed to shield round tapered air filters and personal watercraft flame arrestors. Made from durable, silicone-treated polyester, this wrap acts as an extra barrier against moisture, splash water, and heavy dirt particles without restricting essential engine airflow. Its precision-engineered micron-sized openings stop unwanted debris while allowing your intake system to pull in clean air for peak performance.

Best Uses

1. Off-Roading & Trail Riding: Protects exposed air filters from mud, heavy dust, sand, and trail debris.
2. Personal Watercraft (PWC) & Marine: Shields flame arrestors and marine intakes from direct water splashes and mist.
3. Daily Driving & Wet Weather: Prevents road spray and rain from prematurely soaking oiled air filters in open-element intake setups.
4. Extended Filter Life: Ideal for high-dust environments where frequent filter cleanings would otherwise be required.

Features

1. Silicone-Treated Polyester Media: Specially formulated material repels water droplets and limits moisture penetration.
2. Precision Micron Openings: Uniform openings prevent dirt intake while ensuring unrestricted airflow.
3. Custom Tapered Dimensions: Designed specifically to fit filters with a 7.5" base inner diameter, 4.5" top inner diameter, and 9" height.
4. Elastic Snug Fit: Built to stretch easily over compatible round tapered filters for a secure, stay-put hold.
5. Sleek Black Finish: Adds a clean, low-profile look to your engine bay or intake setup.

Benefits

1. Water Splash Protection: Reduces the amount of water reaching your main filter, minimizing the risk of engine hydrolock or filter saturation.
2. Extends Cleaning Intervals: Captures coarse dirt and debris before it reaches your filter, allowing for longer periods between filter washings.
3. Maintains Engine Horsepower: Preserves high airflow rates so your engine gets the oxygen it needs to perform at its best.
4. Long-Lasting Durability: Water-repellent treatment and tough fabric provide reliable protection for 1 to 2 years of continuous use.
5. Washable & Reusable: Easy to clean with standard soap and water, making it a cost-effective long-term solution.
