With the brakes done, I turned my attention to the intake. This is rather simple and I first removed the old air filter, which is done by undoing the clip and simply removing the old one.

Here is the comparison between the stock Ford air filter and the K&N. I noticed that my stock filter had some fins that were deformed, which I think is a sign that the filter has gotten rather clogged and hard to breathe through.

The installation was simple and the K&N filter was a perfect fit. I also replaced the air filters on the D-Max, which had 56,000 kilometers on it, and the Hilux, which had the 75,000 kilometers on it.

I had a hard time looking for the proper K&N filters to fit our Asian-spec vehicles, and I would just like to share the part numbers here so that our local suppliers of K&N could easily get the right filters for the D-Max and LN106 Hilux (the filter has two big holes). Ordering them online is a breeze too and the cost is so reasonable.

I hope this would help ease off the fuel costs for our different rides, as well as squeeze out every bit of performance from our rigs.
