Has anyone installed the drop in lifetime HP air filter for the 3.6 engine?
I got one and when I pulled the stock filter out it was clearly labeled UP for the side to face the top of the air box. The stock filter had material sticking out on both sides. The K&N has material sticking out from one side only, but there is no label for up/down/top/bottom or anything else. Neither the box or instruction sheet indicate which way is up either. I looked at the rubber seal for the stock filter and saw one side was flat and the other had a little bit of a ridge, so I matched up the K&N so the flattest side would be installed as the flat side of the stock filter, but it's certainly not a specific enough marker for me to consider it as absolute.
Can someone tell me how the filter is supposed to be installed?
