The K&N 63-6017 is part of the manufacturer's 63 Series AirCharger line, a cold-air intake built for the 5.0L V8 Cummins turbodiesel in the Nissan Titan XD. It replaces the factory air filter and intake tube with a rotationally molded, high-density polyethylene tube, an oversized conical oiled cotton filter, and a custom heat shield that keeps the intake air away from hot engine-bay temperatures. The manufacturer states the system is guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque, but it does not publish a verified dyno figure, so ask the manufacturer for current gain documentation before you buy.
Versus a stock airbox or a generic drop-in filter, this kit is a complete intake-path replacement built on the manufacturer's own tube and airflow design. The filter is washable and reusable, and the manufacturer says it needs cleaning only about every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving, so you avoid recurring filter purchases. The kit also carries a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty. Owners searching for a 2016-2018 Titan XD 5.0L Cummins cold air intake, a 63-6017 AirCharger upgrade, or a washable oiled cotton diesel intake will find this kit fits that search. Install uses the factory mounting points and typically takes about an hour with basic hand tools.
The manufacturer's product page lists the 2016-2018 Nissan Titan XD with the 5.0L V8 diesel. Some older manufacturer materials reference only 2016-2017, so confirm your exact model year with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer states the system replaces the factory air filter and intake tube. Check the manufacturer's installation sheet for the exact factory components involved in your vehicle's setup.
The manufacturer says the oiled cotton filter needs cleaning only about every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. Harsher or dustier driving may call for more frequent cleaning.
The manufacturer lists a typical installation time of about an hour and describes the kit as installable with simple hand tools, mounting in the factory locations. Read the manufacturer's installation sheet before starting, since the mass air flow sensor is located in the intake tube and must be handled correctly during the swap. Disconnecting the battery can reset stored settings, so note any saved memory presets first. Tighten all clamps and check the couplers for a secure seal before driving.
