K&N 96-06 Arctic Cat 400/454/500 Replacement Air Filter

K&N Engineering is well-known for its high-flow air filters, and this replacement filter, part number AC-4096-1, is built to keep your off-road vehicle running smoothly. It's designed for extended use in dirty and dusty environments, ensuring clean carburetion even when you're riding at high altitudes. This filter fits a range of Arctic Cat models, including the 400, 454, and 500 series from 1998 through 2006, like the 2003 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 Auto or the 2001 Arctic Cat 500 4x4.

This filter uses multiple layers of woven cotton gauze media, pleated to offer a large filtration area. This design not only provides excellent filtration but also allows for high air-flow, which can help with increased horsepower and acceleration without needing fuel management modifications. Because it's washable and reusable, you can clean and re-oil it for long service intervals, making it a practical choice for frequent off-road use. It's designed to fit directly into your OEM air box with an application-specific sealing bead for a precise fit.
