K&N Engineering 16 Inch Spun Aluminum Top & Bottom Plate for High-Flow Air Filters

Enhance your carbureted race car's intake system with the K&N Engineering Part Number knn85-6852 16 inch spun aluminum top and bottom plates. Crafted from lightweight aluminum with a durable spun aluminum finish, these plates are designed to complement a variety of 16 inch K&N high-flow air filters, offering a versatile solution for racing applications. The top plate features embossed K&N logos along the outer edge, adding a touch of branding elegance to your setup. The base plate is engineered to fit carburetors with a 7-5/16 inch air horn flange and drops the filter 1-1/2 inches below the carb flange, helping maximize filter height while providing adequate clearance for many custom racing hoods. This drop base design ensures optimal airflow and filter positioning, which can be critical for performance tuning in competitive environments. These plates are compatible with multiple filter heights, including models like the 3-inch tall E-3022R, 3-1/4 inch tall E-3023R, 3-1/2 inch tall E-3024R, 3-3/4 inch tall E-3025R, and 4-inch tall E-3026R, making them suitable for a wide range of off-road and racing applications. The plates fit any round 14 inch K&N air filter, providing a secure and reliable connection. Designed specifically for high-performance use, these plates are not carb-approved but require acknowledgment before installation. The combination of lightweight construction, precise fitment, and compatibility with various filters makes these plates an essential upgrade for race enthusiasts seeking to improve airflow and engine performance. Note that these plates are not suitable for on-road emissions compliance but excel in off-road and racing scenarios where maximum airflow is desired.
