KAX Engine & Cabin Air Filter Kit for Subaru Outback 2005–2009 — 2‑Piece OEM Fit, Charcoal Cabin Filter

If you own a Subaru Outback (2005–2009), Legacy (2005–2009) or a Tribeca/B9 Tribeca from the stated years, this KAX kit replaces both the engine air filter and the cabin filter in a single purchase. The kit pairs a high-efficiency engine filter with a cabin filter layered with coconut-shell activated charcoal to cut odors and trap fine particulates. Designed for quick installation, the set helps you maintain performance and a more comfortable cabin without juggling separate parts.

How will replacing both filters together improve my car’s performance and comfort?

Swapping the engine and cabin filters at the same time prevents one worn part from undermining the other. A clean engine filter supports optimal airflow to the engine, while a fresh cabin filter improves passenger air quality and removes common odors.

• Engine filter reduces dust and debris entering the intake for steadier performance.
• Cabin filter with activated charcoal neutralizes smells and traps pollen.
• Paired replacement avoids repeated labor and saves time and money.

What materials and design features are included in the KAX CA9997 CF9846A kit?

The kit uses multi-layer filtration media and a charcoal-treated cabin element to address both particles and odors. Build quality focuses on OEM-compatible fit and durable sealing to prevent unfiltered air bypass.

• Engine filter: pleated filter media for increased surface area and particle capture.
• Cabin filter: coconut shell activated charcoal layer for odor control.
• Precise dimensions and gasket edges for a snug, leak-resistant fit.

How easy is installation and what maintenance schedule should I follow?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes around five minutes per filter for most DIYers with basic tools. KAX recommends replacing both filters simultaneously every 12 months or approximately every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

• Quick install: designed to match factory mounting points for fast swaps.
• Suggested interval: 12 months / 12,000 miles for balanced protection.
• Check sooner in dusty or heavy-pollution environments for best results.
