K&N LIFETIME Cabin Air Filter: Premium, Washable, Clean Air for your Cabin: Compatible with 2014-2109 KIA: Soul, VF1017

A cabin air filter is no big deal, right? ten or fifteen bucks at the auto parts store for a pleated paper piece of junk and you are on your way... well, let me tell you a story about why that isn't the case. I live in new england, and despite the ravages of climate change, we still get some snow in the winter. Because of all of the headaches of plowing driveways and such, we let one of our cars sit for the winter last year. Sure, we started it every now and again, but.... well, mice like cars. It turns out, on a Kia soul, there is a clear pathway for mice to get into the air system. when they do, there is just a paper filter between them and the wonderful mousy paradise of a tunnel system we will call "deeper in the air system". mice chew through paper filters like they are cheese flavored. this is a problem. On a Kia soul, it might be easy for a mouse to get into the homey land of deeper, but it is a nightmare for people. It turns out, that you have to uninstall the break pedal, pull out a fan motor that doesn't want to be pulled and and reach your arms up around three and a half corners to pull the mouse nests out of the land of deeper. i am not elastigirl. my arms don't bend that way. it is not comfortable to lay upside down under the steering wheel of your car. It is not an experience i would ever choose to go through again. This is where K&N come in. This thing costs compared to any other air filter, almost five times as much. Why would anyone pay that? I paid that because this thing isn't just paper. it is coated in a tough, mouse proof metal screen that will stop me from ever having to crawl back under the steering wheel of a kia soul for the sake of a stupid mouse nest. it is like a brick wall for mice. so worth it. I think i still have a kink on my neck from this one.

We are very impressed with the fit of these air filters. Exactly as advertised. We also liked that they included stickers for the dealership to know not to change the filters, this was very smart!

Good quality, Excellent condition

Expected tested and approved. Excellent price and quality.

Sure it's about double the cost of a single throw away, BUT it WILL last the lifetime of your car and then some IF you take care of it properly. USE K&N RECHARGE KIT SOLUTION. Using simple green or anything else will probably ensure your filter will deteriorate. Again, USE K&N Filter Treatments, NOTHING ELSE. DO NOT spray high pressure water into it either. JUST use a water hose with NO attachments. Easy Does It :-) You're RINSING, NOT POWER WASHING!

I’ve used K&N engine air filters for years. It’s great to see they offer cabin air filters now. Much better than the paper o es.

Got the product fast and fit well for my application.

Easy to install and the price was reasonable especially if you spend a lot on filters. K&N filters are the way to go. Easy to clean and reuse which is nice

Easier to install than paper cabin filters. No directional arrow on the side-casing for airflow, so I hope it didn't matter which side was installed; there were no directions about airflow position in the box. Another great K&N air filter product! Never have to buy another cabin air filter for my Kia Soul EV.

Muy buen filtro. Queda perfecto para la soul 2017.

good reputable company, well made a bit pricey but worth it in the long run

Good value..should save me money when rinsing and reinstalling the same filter..
