New K&N FIPKs Offer Guaranteed Horsepower For The Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300

RIVERSIDE, CA - Chrysler continues to be on the cutting edge of vehicle design with its new 300 sedan and 2005 to 2010 Dodge Magnum musclewagon. Along the same lines, K&N continues it domination of airflow technology with new 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®) applications for these new Chrysler creations. Guaranteed to make horsepower, these kits demonstrated significant gains on K&N's Dynojet 248 dynamometer. The 5.7L Hemi system (PN 57-1542) added an average of 21 rear-wheel HP, and the 3.5L V-6 57-Series FIPK® (PN 57-1543) showed increases of 12 HP. In both, power improved throughout the band. (See the dyno chart at www.knfilters.com.)

The FIPK intake kits include a famous K&N High-Flow Air Filter, the airflow enhancer that revolutionized the performance industry and is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®. This filter can be repeatedly washed and re-oiled with a K&N Recharger® kit; service intervals are as much as 100,000 miles depending on driving conditions.

Beginning at the filter, airflow is cleaned and directed. It then travels through an aerodynamically engineered polyethylene intake tube to the engine, where more air equals more power. The system includes a metal shield to isolate incoming air from underhood heat and all necessary hardware for simple installation.

K&N also offers a washable/reusable OE-replacement High Flow Air Filters for the 300/Magnum (PN 33-2295) as well as a premium-quality Performance Gold Oil Filter (PN HP-2004) for these cars.

Increase Intake Velocity With K&N's New FIPK For The BMW 330 Ci

RIVERSIDE, CA - BMW has stuck with its inline six for its 3-Series for good reason. It's smooth and offers a ton of low-end and mid-range torque. Those opting for the 330 Ci model already have the highest output 3.0L BMW offers. However, it doesn't have to stop there. K&N Filters has a tweak available that unleashes potential power trapped by the O.E. restrictive intake system. K&N's new 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK -- PN#57-1001) replaces the factory air box, filter and intake tube. The result is an impressive horsepower and torque increase with no other modifications.

The key to K&N's FIPKs® are the low-restriction cotton/gauze air filter that provides more air than the stock paper filter. Another boost to performance is the cooler, denser intake charge available by isolating the K&N High-Flow Air Filter from under hood heat. Combine those advantages with a smooth free-flowing intake tube and you have major gains in power and response.

An added benefit of installing a K&N FIPK is that it comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®. The K&N High-Flow Air Filter is washable and can be reused service-after-service. Face the facts; the K&N High-Flow Air Filter is the last filter your car will ever need.

Added perks include a throaty intake sound at full throttle, and improved efficiency at cruise speeds. If you are looking for that added edge, K&N's FIPK offers it!

K&N 57 Series FIPK® Intakes Add up to 15 More HP To The Supercharged Ford Lightning and H-D F-150s

RIVERSIDE, CA - The Ford SVT F-150 Lightning was recently certified "The World's Fastest Production Pickup Truck" by Guinness World Records as the result of a 147-mph run at Ford's test track. K&N Engineering makes this truck and its F-150 Harley-Davidson SuperCrew sibling even faster and more powerful with two new Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®) applications. Kit No. 57-2549 for 2001-2004 trucks increased rear-wheel horsepower on K&N's Dynojet 248 dynamometer 15.6 HP to a peak of 372.1; system 57-2548 raised 1999-2000 Lightning rear-wheel output 14.8 HP to 345.5.

By replacing the poor flowing stock airbox and intact tract K&N Intake Kits feed the 5.4L supercharged engine significantly more air. Each Kit includes a genuine washable and reusable K&N High-Flow Air Filter, which is shielded from underhood heat with a black-powdercoated steel heat shield. K&N is so confident in its engineering that the company offers guaranteed horsepower with this kit.

Because K&N High-Flow Air Filters can be repeatedly cleaned and re-oiled with a K&N recharger kit (available separately), the FIPK® is an exceptional long-term value, considering both improved horsepower and protection from harmful dirt and debris

The average do-it-yourselfer can complete installation in approximately 90 minutes. The job is purely bolt-on, using existing holes and mounting locations. Overall, this FIPK® upgrade involves removing the stock airbox, intake tract and mass-air sensor; replacing these parts with corresponding FIPK® components; and re-attaching/re-installing the factory sensors and vent lines. K&N® supplies all necessary mounting hardware.

Most K&N FIPK® Kits are 50-state legal, won't void the factory warranty and are compatible with OE computer and emissions controls. Also, the system's High-Flow Air Filter is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®. For more information about FIPK®-improved power and throttle response for the Lightning or Harley-Davidson F-150s, please contact K&N Engineering, Inc., P.O. Box 1329, Riverside, CA 92502-1329, (800) 213-4182 for a dealer near you, (800) 858-3333 for technical service/questions, (951) 826-4001 Fax, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.knfilters.com.

K&N Boosts Performance for Kawasaki ZX-6R and ZX-6RR/ZX-636 With New High-Flow Air Filter

RIVERSIDE, CA, -- Owners of 2003-04 Kawasaki ZX-6R and ZX-6RR/ZX-636 sport bikes already enjoy impressive performance. Through extensive dyno testing K&N engineers were able to make a great bike even better by designing a new High-Flow Air Filter (PN# KA-6003) that improves airflow into the 600cc and 636cc engines on these bikes for improved horsepower and torque. Right off the bat, one of the first things riders will notice is that the K&N High-Flow Air Filter offers improved throttle response.

More than 40 years ago K&N invented the washable and re-usable cotton gauze air filter. In that time the company has made numerous improvements to the original design and has always maintained their commitment to offering the best products on the market. K&N High-Flow Air Filters are made up of four layers of high quality gauze, sandwiched between epoxy-coated aluminum wire mesh, and then treated with a specially-formulated oil. The combination is a highly efficient filter with outstanding filtration that allows more air in the engine.

A Recharger® Kit is available separately and includes a cleaning solution and a bottle of K&N's filter oil. K&N recommends cleaning about every 30,000-40,000 miles for street-driven applications (more often for off-road or heavy dust driving conditions) and as with all K&N High Flow Air Filters, the KA-6003 is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Warranty®.

K&N Offers New Nostalgia-Style Filters for Tri-Power Hot Rods and Classics

RIVERSIDE, CA, -- Driving without an air filter can lead to serious engine damage. When K&N engineers saw that some tri-power street rods were being driven unprotected, they started thinking. There aren't enough choices for air filters that complement the nostalgic looks of many tri-powered hot rods. K&N addressed this problem with their new four-inch finned aluminum filter assemblies.

These Nostalgia assemblies can be ordered individually (PN# 60-0410) or as a set of three (PN# 60-0413) and can be installed as is (with cast finish) or all or part of the assembly can be polished and/or painted for a truly custom look.

K&N Nostalgia Assemblies are four inches round, 2-3/4 tall (top to bottom of flange) and are designed to fit carburetors with a 2-5/8" flange diameter. Each K&N Nostalgia Assembly incorporates K&N's famous washable and re-usable filter material that provides great airflow and filtration. Cleaning is a simple process with the K&N Recharger Kit (sold separately) and with recommended cleaning every 50,000 miles (depending on conditions), a K&N filter will often last longer than the vehicle.
