K&N will focus on educating attendees on their product line, company history and why attendees might choose to partner with K&N.  AAPEX is smaller than SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) but similar. It features every major brand of replacement parts and the Green Way which highlights environmentally friendly products. K&N air filters are washable and reusable and are a good alternative to disposable air filters.

United States and international buyers from 149 countries representing all segments of the automotive market are expected to attend in 2008. For K&N it’s a great venue to interact with distributers, retailers, and automobile manufacturers. AAPEX showcases what cars need to function including air filters.  K&N will be ready to suggest using their lifetime washable air filter in place of typical disposable paper air filters.

K&N dynamometer tests show an estimated 8.13 horsepower gain at 5960 rpm. The G35 Sedan is a dual throttle body car, and the K&N air intake system is also dual to match the stock system. There are two short ram intake systems with powder coated aluminum tubes, K&N high flow lifetime replacement air filters (RU-4960) and powder-coated steel heat shields that come as part of the 69-7082TS.

In addition to power gains, K&N air intake systems are also designed to increase filtering capacity and improve throttle response. The heat shields are engineered to isolate the oversized K&N high flow air filters from engine bay heat. This intake also makes use of the G35's engine design by locating the individual K&N air filters in the front corners of the vehicle where outside air is directed at them.

The Mass Air Sensor adaptors are precision CNC machined, 6061 billet aluminum for accurate Mass Air Flow sensor readings.

It takes about 90 minutes to install this K&N air intake system. It does not remove the stock engine cover which keeps a clean look under the hood. This K&N air intake system, like all other K&N air intake systems is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The 2007 to 2009 Toyota Tundra and 2008 to 2009 Toyota Sequoia with 4.7 liter V8 engines have the option of gaining additional horsepower with K&N air intake systems.

K&N's air intake system, part number 63-9032-1, produces 8.09 horsepower at 4717 rpm. It replaces the factory air box and air path leading to the engine. In its place, a K&N oversize conical air filter is mounted inside a powder coated steel heat shield that isolates the filter from the rest of the engine compartment. The filter supplies clean and unrestricted air flow to a rotationally molded intake tube which has been shaped to optimize air flow to the engine.

The factory mass airflow sensor is relocated into the K&N intake tube using a special adaptor, and no reprogramming or computer modifications are necessary when using this system. The intake system offers more performance while providing excellent filtration.

The oversize, chrome top washable and reusable RF-1041 air filter supplied with the intake offers the best balance of high air flow and filtration efficiency. Inside the filter, multiple layers of cotton are treated with 1.67 ounces of K&N air filter oil, which traps and holds dust particles while allowing air to pass by with little restriction. The filter's size allows it to go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The 63-9032-1 attaches using existing factory mounting points, and requires no cutting or drilling. It has more of a factory look and can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less with a socket set, wrenches, and screwdrivers. The system is also backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

If you are interested in a flashier look, K&N has also designed a polished High-Flow Air Intake System 77-9032-1KP for the 2007-2009 Toyota Tundra 4.7 liter V8 engine and the 2008 and 2009 Toyota Sequoia.

K&N dynamometer testing shows an estimated 8.99 horsepower gain @ 4717 RPM. K&N's air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system resulting in an immediate power gain while providing excellent air filtration.

A rubber top K&N High Flow Air Filter RU-5045 allows free flowing air into mandrel bent aluminum intake tube. Inside the filter, multiple layers of cotton are treated with 5.03 ounces of K&N air filter oil, which traps and holds dust particles while allowing air to pass by with little restriction. This filter's size also allows it to go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine compartment using factory mounting points. A tube mounting bracket supports the intake tube which is mounted to the engine. The heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh air.

The installation of 63-9032-1 and 77-9032-1KP intake systems can easily be accomplished in 90 minutes or less and these air intakes are backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
