This cool scrambler-styled custom Harley® features the K&N-equipped Crusher Revolt Air Cleaner

The teamwork between the two powerhouse performance companies was crystal clear to anyone visiting the impressive Kuryakyn display at the 21st Annual Arizona Bike Week in April. K&N filter technology was prominently featured on the beautiful custom motorcycles at the Kuryakan camp, as well as on the intake displays outside the company’s semi.

Kuryakyn’s new Hypercharger ES features an intake-specific high flow K&N filter

A great example of the symbiotic relationship is evidenced in Kuryakyn’s new Hypercharger ES. This innovative intake features an integrated electronic servo motor that delivers precise RPM-based butterfly engagement.

The Hypercharger ES includes an all-new custom Kuryakyn-designed high-flow K&N filter. That K&N filter delivers approximately 10% more airflow than previous Hypercharger models for a significantly improved CFM rating.

This Kuryakyn intake offers a unique view of the good stuff

One of the most intriguing Kuryakyn intakes features a very unique glass port window that offers up a great view of the mouth of the intake and the surrounding cotton gauze K&N filter element. You don’t get much cooler than that.

It is not a mystery why an innovative company like Kuryakyn places its full trust in K&N filter technology. The two venerable and progressive brands share a passion for quality, innovation, and performance.

K&N looks forward to many more decades of shared innovation with Kuryakyn.

The K&N air intake system replaces the stock filter and housing for improved performance

And performance it has in spades. The 925 cc turbo engine propelled the RZR XP Turbo EPS from 0-60 in just 5.89 seconds. That’s as fast as a 2016 BMW 330e.

While the RZR XP Turbo EPS and RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS currently have a 13 horsepower advantage on their nearest competitor, you can pretty much expect a power battle to ensue. In fact, Polaris already increased the output of the 2017 ProStar Turbo to 168 horsepower. So why leave yourself at the mercy of a stock engine rating when a K&N performance cold air intake can add over four horsepower simply by installing a bolt on kit?

The K&N air intake system is fitted with an oversized conical filter that can be washed and reused

To remove this limitation, K&N developed a line of Aircharger performance air intake systems specifically for select RZR models to increase power and torque, and reduce maintenance costs. These air intake systems are an easy to install, bolt-on upgrade which replaces the restrictive original equipment air box and filter.

K&N's 63-1136 for the Polaris Ranger RZR XP Turbo EPS and RZR XP 4 Turbo EPS air intake system features a free-flowing aluminum air intake tube and oversized RU-5064 conical air filter. The intake system also features a custom air box designed to protect the air filter from the elements. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less. The tools needed are a ratchet set, a few wrenches, and flat blade screwdriver.

Made of a pre-treated material DryCharger helps keep splashes of water or mud out of your filter

When using in extra dusty or wet conditions, K&N recommends the installation of an RU-5064DK Drycharger air filter wrap. K&N DryChargers are silicone treated, polyester wraps that are made to cover K&N air filters for added peace of mind. The fabric contains uniform micron sized openings that allow high air flow. Yet, due to the DryCharger's silicone treated polyester properties, the amount of dust or water that reaches the air filter is limited.

To clean the filter, you can use a K&N Recharger Kit, like the 99-5000, which will restore air flow efficiency and will bring your K&N oiled cotton air filter back to a like new condition. The included spray bottle of K&N Power Kleen works to dissolve the dirt build up and old filter oil, then it can be washed away with water. After the air filter fully dries, re-oil your air filter with the K&N filter oil squeeze bottle and then reinstall the filter for full performance and protection.

The 63-1136 air intake fits the following Polaris models:

Jimmie Johnson racing during the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway

“Just a great race car, and it was nice to really execute all day long” Johnson said. “I think we've just been trying too hard. You know, we won the championship, obviously, last year, and feel like we have good cars and want to come out and be aggressive. To dial in right at 100 percent is just tough to do”.

Johnson led twice for 18 laps during the 334 lap race. Johnson received 49 points and 5 playoff points. Johnson is currently in 11th place in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Standings with 190 points.

Kyle Larson came in second place for the fourth time this season. Larson started in the 32nd position after his car didn't pass initial inspections. Larson was in front but was sent back on a caution on Lap 33, and could not pass Joey Logano until late in the race to snatch second place.

This was Larson’s career best finish at Texas Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano finished in third place and led three times for 38 laps. Logano was poised to finish in second place, but was passed during the last 30 laps.

Ryan Blaney swept both stages of the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500, and led a race high 4 times for 148 laps. Blaney finished in 12th place and received 45 points and two playoff points. Blaney was in the lead going into lap 300, but a pit stop error caused him to lose ground on the standings.

NHRA Pro Stock driver Greg Anderson won the K&N Horsepower Challenge in Las Vegas

“This means the world,” Anderson said. “This is the most fun race of the year for me. I love K&N (filters) and all they do for this class and the sport in general. Without them, it wouldn’t be the same. Six wins; that’s $300,000, can you imagine that? That’s more money than I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Anderson won the sixth K&N Horsepower Challenge of his career. Ken Black, the owner of his KB Racing team, lives in Las Vegas. It made winning the K&N Horsepower Challenge in Las Vegas sweeter.

Anderson lost to Tanner Gray in the second round of the NHRA Pro Stock races in Las Vegas. Two weeks ago at Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida, Anderson lost to Shane Gray, Tanner’s father, in the final.

“That (Gainesville final) was a tough loss. I took it personally. I made a mistake and I think I lost the race because of it,” Anderson said. “If I had lost twice I would have had a tough time dealing with it.”

“The sun was out today and that made it tricky for for crew chiefs,” Anderson said. “The truth is that Rob Downing did a better job managing that track than any of the other crew chiefs. That (Cold Hart Art) trophy is beautiful and I love it but it’s going to Rob Downing.”

Shane Gray, making his fourth appearance in the K&N Horsepower Challenge, reached the final after beating Vincent Nobile in the opening round. Shane Gray, who drives for Gray Manufacturing Technologies, beat Erica Enders, two-time winner of the K&N Horsepower Challenge, in the second round before meeting Anderson in the final.

The AirCharger intake kit is comprised of the intake tube, aluminum heat shield, and XD filter

By adding a K&N 63-6017 AirCharger performance intake kit you can pull further away from the Colorado and move closer to the Silverado in terms of both horsepower and torque. In chassis dynamometer testing the AirCharger Kit added an estimated 11.15 horsepower at the rear wheels. Torque was increased by an estimated 15.57 lb-ft as well.

The Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel is an entirely new engine design that combines a cylinder block cast from compacted graphite iron, like that used in large industrial diesel engines, with a forged steel crankshaft, and high-strength aluminum alloy heads.

The Titan XD’s engine is fitted with a two-stage turbocharger that operates efficiently at either low or high engine speeds. Coupled with high pressure fuel injection driven by integrated electronic controls, the fuel system, along with the turbocharger allow the 5.0L V8 to deliver a peak torque of 555 lb-ft.

Adding power to a turbocharged diesel engine is a fairly straightforward task. If you can deliver a greater volume of intake air, which is then compressed by the turbo, the engine’s computer responds by adding incremental fuel, producing more power at the wheels. A fast, simple, and inexpensive way to increase the power output of your Cummins engine Titan is the installation of a K&N AirCharger performance intake kit.

Installation is a snap and can often be completed in less than 90 minutes

Cool, outside air first enters the RF-1042XD oversized conical K&N high-flow air filter sited within a heat shield, which are both installed in the original air box space. The heat shield protects the cooler outside air directed to the engine from horsepower-robbing underhood temperatures.

Much of the horsepower increase can be credited to the XD air filter, which is manufactured from multiple layers of oiled extra-fine weave cotton filter media originally developed for competitors in the Baja 1000. Oiled cotton has been selected as it offers less resistance than traditional filters. The extra fine filtering medium also captures microparticles that could damage your Cummins diesel, to help ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house ISO 5011 compliant filtration testing lab, which ensures that your K&N filter provides high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

The included XD filter was developed for the punishing conditions faced by Baja racers

And once you’ve installed your K&N cold air intake system you’ve eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered 2016-2017 Nissan Titan XD diesel. The only maintenance is a simple service you can do yourself. At intervals of 100,000 miles (more frequently when used in dusty or off-road environments) use the K&N 99-5000 recharger kit to clean and refresh your air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The RF-1042XD K&N air filter included in the AirCharger kit is designed to last for the lifetime of your Titan, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.

The K&N 63-6017 AirCharger performance intake kit is designed for the following vehicles:
