K&N Performance Intake Kit LOTUS ELISE 1.8I, 16V, 189BHP (TOYOTA VVTI ENG)

This K&N Apollo Cold Air Induction System is designed specifically for your 2005-2008 Lotus Elise with the 1.8L Toyota VVTi engine. What you get in the box is the K&N high-flow air filter, a protective shell to house it, and all the custom mounting hardware needed to install it on your specific vehicle. This kit works by keeping the air intake in a closed environment, which helps reduce heat buildup and ensures your engine is fed cooler, denser air. Cooler air means your engine can breathe more efficiently, which can lead to improved performance and a bit more power.

The Apollo system uses a washable and reusable K&N high-flow air filter, meaning you can clean and reuse it for a long time instead of replacing it. The protective shell is key here; it shields the filter from engine heat, making sure the air entering your engine is as cool as possible. This design helps improve the volumetric efficiency of your engine, which is a fancy way of saying it helps your engine fill its cylinders more completely with air, leading to better throttle response and noticeable power gains. It's a well-built system designed to integrate smoothly with your Lotus's existing intake setup.
