New Airfilter for 2001 Kia Sephia?
Ok, my first post. I have just recently become interested in cars and performance. Before a car was a car, now I see it as an expression of yourself. I want to make my car perform well. I want to start off simple, what do you recommend for the airfilter. I have been told to go with a K&N, but which part number would I need to use? Also, does anyone know of any install guides for this modification?

If you can change a light bulb, you can change an air filter.
Your service manual should have the steps.
Contact K&N Directly for your model drop in filter.

Ok, maybe my first post made me look like an idiot. I am not talking about changing the OEM filter. I want to remove the factory air box and put in a K & N cone filter. I am an aircraft mechanic for crying out loud smile.gif Do you know what part number will fit on 2001 Sephia. I saw somewhere that 33-2169 will fit. What about all the wires running to the airbox, what needs to be done with them?

Woops my apologies then.
If your Mass Air flow sensor is 2.5" the model K&N you mentioned will fit. The only wires going to your airbox should be for the intake air Temp sensor. Just place it inside your filter then tighten the filter down over the wires. There should be no movement in the MAFS or the filter, so they will not wear through/rub.
