K&N Engineering has developed a new 57-series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (57-3043) that will add a bigger punch to the vehicles. K&N tests have shown an 18.57 horsepower gain at 6001 RPM with this rotationally molded polyethylene intake.

The FIPK uses K&N's high-flow, washable and reusable air filter (RF-1048) which performs up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions).

"This Air Intake provides a lot more power," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "18 + is an excellent gain, and will make a difference in performance whether you 4X4 or city drive."

K&N's FIPK (57-3043) can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tolls and lasts up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions). It also comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N Engineering has released a new 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake (69-7200TP) for the 2004 Pontiac GTO 5.7L V8. K&N dynamometer tests show a 15.25 horsepower gain @ 5050 RPM for this intake. "This air intake (69-7200TP) is designed to use the factory Mass Air Flow Sensor," said K&N Project Technician Nestor Cabrera. "It uses a special radius filter adapter with a large volume high flow K&N Air Filter (RC-5138) to minimize flow restriction and increase horsepower. It also incorporates a heat shield to keep the filter protected from the rest of the engine room and ensure that it gets cool fresh air."

The K&N Filter in this kit (69-7200TP) is specially designed for the Pontiac GTO engine. "Engineers took into account the air flow requirements, location and space," said Cabrera. "We also used a chrome top for added looks."

With all K&N 69-Series Typhoon Air Intakes there is a thorough development procedure which requires the use of multiple vehicles to ensure that the horsepower gain we show is typical, said Cabrera. "There is a lot of testing that the K&N intake goes through before it if finalized for production," he said. "We were able to locate the cars we needed for testing through our car database on our website."

The vehicle design played a major role in the development and design of this 69-Series Kit (69-7200TP). "Special care was taken to ensure that the intake system followed the lines on the vehicle and that it did not obstruct or rub against other parts in the engine compartment," said Cabrera. "We took the design of the vehicle into account so that there was symmetry between the intake kit and the engine compartment ensuring that all stock covers could be re-used."

K&N Releases Air Filter for Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr and Ford Fusion

K&N Engineering has released a new lifetime replacement air filter (33-2340) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan 3.0L V6, the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr 3.0L V6 and the 2006 to 2012 Ford Fusion 3.0L V6.

Lift the hoods of all the vehicles and the K&N Filters are custom designed to fit in the factory air boxes. The drop-in design means adding performance is simple; just remove the disposable air filter in the Milan, Zephyr or Ford and replace it with a K&N.

The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent filtration. The (33-2340) is 1.125 inches in height (29mm) with an outside length of 8.313 inches (211mm) and an outside width of 6.25 inches (159mm).

Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum screen. The filters capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume air flow. These particles then cling to the outside of the filter and become part of the filtering media.

The pleating on K&N Filters increases the surface area, which then assists air flow and extends service intervals. Better dirt retention, better airflow and extended service intervals are all benefits of using a K&N filter.

Also, K&N's 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 vehicle will ever need. K&N invented the concept of washable, reusable filters more than 35 years ago.
