K&N 16-Inch Air Filter Top and Base Plates

If you're into carbureted race cars, you’ll want to check out these K&N 16-inch air filter top and base plates. They’re designed to give your setup a solid boost in performance without complicating things. Made from lightweight aluminum, these plates are not just about looks—though the spun aluminum finish with the embossed K&N logo definitely adds a touch of flair.

What’s cool about these plates is how they fit. The base plate is made for carburetors with a 7-5/16 inch air horn flange and drops the filter down about 1-1/2 inches below the carb flange. This drop base design is a game changer. It lets you maximize the height of your air filter without worrying about it hitting the hood in most custom racing setups. So, if you’re looking to clear some serious air, this is your ticket.

These plates are compatible with a range of K&N’s 16-inch high-flow air filters. You can pair them with filters like the E-3022R (3 inches tall), E-3023R (3-1/4 inches), E-3024R (3-1/2 inches), E-3025R (3-3/4 inches), or even the E-3026R (4 inches tall). That means whether you’re racing off-road or just want to amp up your street performance, you’ve got options that fit your style.
