The K&N E-0651 is a drop-in replacement for the engine air filter on the 2014 Maserati Ghibli with the 3.0L V6 F/I engine. Per the manufacturer, the element is reusable and built to last for the vehicle's full service life, so you clean and re-oil it instead of buying a disposable filter at each service. Compared with a stock paper element, the oiled cotton gauze is the reason to pay more. The manufacturer says its media is designed to improve acceleration and overall engine performance, and it carries a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited warranty. Owners on user forums note that stock paper filters can catch fine dust better out of the box, so a cleaning schedule matters with this filter.
Fit is the first thing to verify. The manufacturer's product page lists this filter for the 2014-2016 Ghibli V6-3.0L F/I, while its model listing runs through 2018, so confirm your model year before ordering. The manufacturer also cross-references Maserati OE number 670001545. Searching for an E-0651 cotton gauze drop-in for a Ghibli 3.0L V6, an oiled K&N Ghibli intake filter, or a reusable Ghibli engine air filter upgrade will bring up this exact part number.

Owners on user forums describe this as a straightforward job for a home mechanic. Start with the ignition off, since owners warn that running the key on with the intake open can trigger a check-engine light from a miscounted mass airflow reading. Expect to remove the large engine bay cover held by screws, release the airbox clamps, and disconnect the MAF connector before lifting the box. One owner reported about 20 minutes for the whole job. Keep dirt out of the MAF sensor while the box is open. Several owners found the lower airbox clamps hard to reseat, so line up the housing before you latch the clips.
