"The factory air filter and intake track are restrictive," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "We gained horsepower by replacing the factory air filter and air intake housing with our aerodynamically designed intake system."

K&N's 77 Series line of air intakes offers power with a more stylish appearance.

A typical installation can be done with a screwdriver, pliers and a ratchet-set in 90 minutes or less. Most K&N Performance Intake Kits are specifically engineered to use factory holes and mounting points, making installation simple. K&N air intakes come with the famous K&N Million Mile Warranty.

K&N Engineering has developed an Air Induction System (57A-6006) for the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Mini Cooper S 1.6 liter engine. It is designed with the Apollo, a specially designed K&N Air Filter and enclosure.

The K&N Apollo bolts onto the Mini Cooper's intake. The Apollo is a closed system designed to eliminate hot air problems and provide the benefits of an open cone filter and standard airbox in one unit.

Simply remove the stock airbox and replace it with the K&N Air Induction System for additional air flow. The stabilizer with brackets allows the K&N Air Induction System to stay firmly in place. Once in place the 57A-6006 helps add performance by allowing free flowing air into the throttle body of the Mini Cooper.

All adaptors for the K&N Air Induction Systems are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicone or reinforced nylon to ensure longevity. It takes 90 minutes or less to install this kit with simple hand tools.

"This is K&N's first RV Intake System," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "We want to provide the motorhome market with our guaranteed horsepower air intakes because they need the extra power to get up to speed, especially on inclines, as much as any vehicle on the road."

The factory air filter and intake track design restricts air flow. The K&N Air Intake System is designed to provide excellent filtration while being less restrictive, resulting in more power.

It takes less than 90 minutes to install most K&N air intakes with common tools. K&N air intakes come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N Filters No.6 Ford F-150 Continues to Race in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

In his best qualifying effort of the 2007 season, Kvapil started second. However, he was unable to keep his track position. He started at the outside and it was a difficult place to be at the drop of the green flag. Kvapil dropped back into 4th position before he was able to get to the inside of the track.

In the early part of the race, Kvapil told the K&N crew his truck was a little tight. Crew chief Mike Beam planned a one-stop strategy around lap 60 and Kvapil adjusted his line to accommodate the problem. At lap 73 the caution flag flew for a wreck and Kvapil hit pit road for tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment.

Kvapil restarted in eighth position but his F-150 continued to have problems. At lap 191, the K&N Ford went back to pit row for more adjustments. Kvapil restarted in the 15th position with 50 or so laps remaining. He was unable to regain his position and took a 14th place finish.

“We fought tight all day,” said Kvapil. “We pitted that second time because we had nothing to lose. It was a gamble and it didn’t pay off but we had to try something. When we went back out to the track we couldn’t get position. We hoped that we’d be a contender at the end, but we got ourselves in traffic and we couldn’t do anything to get back to the front. We’re disappointed with our finish.”

Kvapil and the No.6 K&N Engineering Team are ninth in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series point standing, 216 points out of the lead.

“Travis will be running the K&N Filters No. 6 Truck at Kansas Speedway on April 28,” said Rory Connellan of Roush Racing. “It will be good to be back on a track that is 1 ½ miles. A good run there can move us up a couple of spots. It’s still early enough in the season to turn around. We’re not out of this series by any means.”
