2014, 2015 & 2016 Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray Performs Better With K&N Air Filter
- 28 Aug 2014
Chevrolet introduced the Corvette in 1953 and turned the American automobile market upside down. Few people could have guessed how much the Corvette would impact cars and drivers for generations to come. Now in its seventh generation of production, also referred to as C7, the Chevrolet Corvette incorporates cutting edge technology such as the all-new 6.2-Liter V8 engine. Chevrolet boasts 460 horsepower, a zero to sixty mph time of just 3.8 seconds, all while averaging an EPA estimated 29 highway miles per gallon. Despite leading the industry in performance, the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Corvette is equipped with a rather low-tech disposable air filter inside the air filter box. Here to inject some high-flow technology into the 2014-2016 Chevy Corvette air filter box is the new K&N high-flow stock replacement air filter number E-0665.
K&N high-flow replacement air filters are made with cotton instead of paper. K&N’s high-flow cotton gauze air filters provide less restriction than typical paper air filters, which can increase the efficiency of the combustion process. Allowing your engine to breathe easier can give your car extra horsepower and extra acceleration that can come in handy, even during every day driving. Performance filter E-0665 is designed as an air filter cross reference to the stock paper filter which makes a K&N replacement air filter an easy to install performance upgrade.
Some might be worried that an increase in airflow comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. When tested using ISO Coarse test dust, part number E-0665, for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Corvette was shown to have a 98.46% overall efficiency rating. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across.
Another benefit to making a K&N air filter from cotton instead of paper is the ability to wash and reuse the filter meaning it never needs to be replaced. Part number, E-0665, will require cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. Cleaning a K&N air filter is a simple four-step process using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kit 99-5000, includes 12 fluid ounces of air filter cleaner and a 6.5 ounce aerosol bottle of air filter oil for quick and easy application. K&N Recharger air filter service kit 99-5050, differs in that it includes an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of K&N filter oil for a more precise application. K&N air filters for Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray with a 6.2-liter V8 engine offer a lifetime of performance. Since part number E-0665 never needs to be replaced, over time it will pay for itself and help reduce waste. K&N stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® and will be the last air filter your 2014-2016 6.2L Chevy Corvette will ever need. Replacement K&N air filter number E-0665 is designed to fit the stock air filter box without modification in the following Chevrolet Corvette models:
