Hi.....  I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for making the K&N FilterCharger.  I was just as skeptical as the next guy about spending the extra $ for a high-end filter.  Hey, the paper filters work great, right?

Well, the old one needed changing, so why not try one.  I had the old filter out, and the air box cleaned on my 2000 Chev Silverado 1500 Z71 in about 10 minutes.  I dropped in the new K&N filter, and then drove down the street for some grocery shopping.  WOW!  Right away I noticed more acceleration!  Next, I put the pedal down, and got about 10 ft. of rubber as evidence that there was more power under the hood.

Installed a Typhoon kit in my 98 Honda Civic EX November, 2002.  The increased performance was noticeable immediately, the engine starts/rev's quickly.  Had to wait 5 months for warm weather to judge changes in mpg (and cut back on some of the playing!).  It looks like a 3 mpg (34 cold/39 warm weather) improvement in normal driving.  Installed K&N air filters in the other Civic (my daughter says her DX starts better and is quicker than a friend's EX) and the CRV (K&N installed at 300 miles so performance/mpg is all K&N).

Gave an air filter to my Dad for his Buick.  Most of his driving is around town stop and go.  He did note the car computer normally calculates about 30 mpg on the highway, but since the K&N installation the trip computer calculates 38-40 mpg.

Drove with a friend in a BMW 330 last month on a 750 mile one-way trip and noted 23.7 mpg.  Changed to a K&N while we there averaging 26 mpg that week and 28.1 mpg on the return drive.  The Beemer is loaded with power and it is hard to say if performance improved.  But buying hi-octane gas less often says a great deal!

I have a 1996 Chevy Camaro Z28 with the 5.7L LT1.  I got a K&N air filter from my brother for my birthday.  All I can say is damn.  I am keeping the car, and the filter, for the rest of my life, or until you come out with something better.  0-150 is at least 4 seconds faster.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks much,

I just bought a new Chevrolet truck and the first thing I did was get a K&N filter for it.  When I traded my old truck in I told them they should give more trade in on it because it had one.

Hello, I have a 1992 Ford F150 LWB with a 5.8 Lt. engine.  It has about 205,000 miles on it.  I bought it in March 1999.  Since day one, it has averaged around 14.5 MPG no matter what I did to it.  I am a Nascar fan and I saw a K & N filter commercial a couple of weeks ago.  So, I thought I'd try the air filter, part # 33-2023.  I bought it in Ripley, Ms. on 3-28-03.  I checked the MPG today 4-3-03.  I got 18.1 MPG.  That is an increase of 3.6 MPG on the first tank.  Simply amazing.  I just thought I'd past this information along to you.

Have installed your filters on my 1999 Saturn and a FIPK on my 2000 Isuzu Hombre 4.3L and am exceedingly happy with both!  Have purchased and installed many filters on many of my friends vehicles and all are happy and notice an immediate difference!  Please make more FIPK'S for more applications!

Great Product!  I have a K&N air filter installed in my 2000 Chevy Blazer with a 4.3L Vortec V6.  I just cleaned it for the first and the cleaning and oiling kit is great as well.  I wasn't sure which side to oil and called the 800 number.  The gentleman I spoke to was courteous and knowledgeable and answered my question.  Thanks for a great product backed with great service.

Hi you guys, I bought another KN filter for my new BMW.   I owned a Jetta with one of your wonderful filters.  I used it several years and I never had to clean it.  Now I bought a 328i BMW last month and the first thing I bought was one of your filters.  The results are just beautiful.  My brother who has the same car, is going to buy another KN filter next week, we can't believe the magic results.

Thanks again,

Hey K & N, 
My wife bought me the K & N FIPK for my 2000 Chevy K2500hd crew cab and we just installed it.  All I can say is WOW, what a difference, There is a very noticeable difference in throttle response.  When you step on it she gets up and go's!!!!!! The kit took 1.5 hrs to install and is well worth the $$$$.  Thanks K&N, keep up the great work and keep the products coming.

I ordered your FIPK for my '00 Toyota Tundra last week, and I couldn't wait for it to arrive.  I have had the regular K&N filter on the truck and combining it with a performance muffler gave me a great sounding and running truck.  I thought it was quick before, but after taking the hour and half this week to get the FIPK installed, I was in awe of my truck and your filter.  The thing sounds like a beast know, especially at wide open throttle.  I have to give your company mass props for the work you have done making extraordinary products, not just finding ways to capitalize off of the market (I.E. filters that constantly need replacing).  I would and will recommend your products to everyone. Some may feel that it is a hefty investment, but the products give back so much more in performance and in savings on those crazy gas prices.

Thanks so much for the joy you have brought me.

Dave McClelland was right - "Nothing gives you more horsepower for your dollar".  I have a '93 GMC K1500 on which I recently mounted 33's (rather than the stock 29's, with a 350 TBI.  It was absolutely gutless after the tire change, wouldn't climb grades without downshifting, and would run out of air over 3500.  I had heard about K&N but was skeptical about the performance claims.  I thought I should spend a pile of money on a chip or something.  When I finally decided that Dave M. couldn't be wrong and sprung the few bucks for one of your filters, I was amazed.  The truck has heaps of power, and doesn't shift anymore climbing the same grades (and we have some steep ones around here).  I really notice the difference when passing.  I can feel it in the back of my seat, in the throttle response, and I can see it in my lower fuel bills.  In fact, I am so sold on this product, I got one for a friend's '01 Dodge today, and it really woke up that truck too.  Why don't all vehicles come with a K&N from the factory?

MY RESULTS - I own a '97 Bravada with a 4.3L V6 in which I installed a K&N air filter two weeks ago.  I am very pleased with the results.  I get an extra 2 miles to the gallon of gas and my engine runs smoother.  I wished that I had heard about the  K&N air filter earlier.  I have told all of my friends about the difference the filter makes.

Typhoon Kit for Toyota Celica, 140BHP 1.8 VVTi - with sports pack - WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!!!!

What a beast you have created with this Typhoon!. The engine compartment is very tight, and with the car being a new model I was terrified when I saw the size of the instructions.  I read on and was horrified that I had to remove the left-hand wheel!.  Hang-on, I'm going to replacing the air filter, why the wheel off?!

I read on, I examined, I explored, I decided to be brave as all the instructions made great sense.  I asked myself, are you a man or a mouse? - Have gut's and GO-FOR-IT!

It has been the best 3 hours working on a car in my life.  The job was simple, tricky in places, awkward at times, but hey, K&N didn't design the car and the engine compartment is really tight!.  The design of the kit and the installation was well thought through, the quality of kit parts was TOP-DOLLAR, making the fitting on the whole a piece of cake.

Now the statistics: The car was always good upto 3K revs, pretty good upto 4K revs, and like a rocket after 4K revs due to the engine design.  At 90MPH in 6th gear I would be doing 4300RPM, upto 3K revs there was a little time lag in power, and due to the 6 speed gear shift, accelerating in 6th was poor so I had to change down.  Bit of an issue here, I like to cruise and then go!

ENTER THE TYPHOON KIT. (The drum roll should commence with trumpets - the kit deserves this!)
The kit has really smoothed out the lumps under 3K revs and the pick-up in this rev range is phenomenal; Accelerating in 6th is now not an issue (On the flat) as again the pick-up from under 3K has improved so much. I hardly touch the gas pedal now to maintain the speed, it has become a much easier car to drive.
One thing the instruction sheet didn't have was a health warning. There should be a comment like: "And when you put the pedal-to-the-metal, wait for the ROAR". The kit under this condition actually made me jump because I wasn't expecting the fantastic sound. The other health warning could read "get checked out by the doctor because you won't be able to stop grinning, from ear-to-ear this kit is so good".

A REALLY BIG GREAT JOB, WELL DONE, KEEP THEM COMING. If you are a Celica user in the UK and thinking about the kit, contact K&N, they can then put you in contact with me so you can see it, touch it, feel it and hear it! Great value for the money, you won't need Happy-Pills with this kit!

NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER: Mike is a production manager at K&N in the UK. Our Typhoon Intake Systems were designed and made in the US so when Mike installed one on his Celica it was his first hands-on experience with the Typhoon line.  He was so excited by his results, he asked that his experience be posted on our testimonials page.

Hi K & N,

Just letting you know that I have recently fitted a K & N 57i to my Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 2.0 ltr 8 valve 1993 model.  I ripped out the old stock box & pipes and fitted this wonderful, sexy looking "upside down flowerpot" conical shaped filter, with a very sexy embossed "K & N" chrome top!!!

It's the best thing I have done!!

Performance......it's magical. It sounds like it will just suck the living daylights out of the air around, mix it with some juice and hey presto.....a road going rocket is born!!

Long live K & N for ever!!!
All the Best!

Hey,
 I just got my license in April.  I am driving my dad's brand new 2001 Dodge Caravan SE with a 3.3L V6.  I heard about your air filters and I wanted to try one in the van.  It seems like it's the only performance product you can get for a mini van!!  So I went down to the local performance shop and purchased an air filter. I feel an increase in power and acceleration.  I am not scared to step on the gas!!!!  I don't know what the mpg is at the moment but dad is saving some change at the pumps.  I would recommend your product to anyone.  It works!!!!  Thanks for such a good product.

I have just installed an FIPK Gen II kit into my 2002 4x4 4.0L SOHC Ford Ranger.  The install pictures were great and the install only took about 1.5 hours.  The motor sounded great after I restarted and checked for leaks.  Then out on the road I went WOW. What a difference in throttle performance and pick up.  The speed curve was smooth and powerful.  This was funds well spent. This got your company another sale as my father has a 2001 Ranger with the same engine and we ordered a kit for his truck today!  My advice to any one is consider this performance upgrade as it was well worth the time and gains. 

Thanks

My first K&N was the complete package for my '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8.  I had read your claim of a 25hp gain and I can guarantee that is at least what I got! 14.85 sec.@96.7 mph, before this vehicle had trouble maintaining 85mph. I have since sold the Jeep and took delivery of a 2003 Mercury Marauder on Nov.18th.  On Nov. 20th I installed a K&N.  I also have a 12" K&N on my '87 Grand National.  This is by far the biggest bang for the buck performance increase you can get!

Hello;  
Just wanted to add that I installed a K & N filter on delivery of my brand new 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee. That’s almost 10 years ago now and I sure believe that the return on investment was certainly worth the initial cost, as well as keeping all those old used filters out of the landfill. Sure wish I had known about the FIPK earlier. Bought a 1999 Dodge Caravan and first thing, out went the stock air filter and in went the K & N filter.

Thank you for a super product.

Keep doing what you're doing!  
I have a 1983 Mazda Rx-7 all stock with a manual transmission.  I purchased the K&N air filter and I really noticed a difference.  I had to start shifting faster because the r.p.m.'s just shot right up. I haven't gotten to take it out and test it yet but as soon as the weather lets me I definitely will.  I tell everyone to go and get one for their car because I'm extremely impressed with the h.p. boost.  Thank you for making such a great product.

Dear Sir, 
I purchased a K&N Air Filter for my 2003 Dodge Dakota, V8 Club Cab, 4WD Truck.  After 4,000 miles of break in, the truck still didn't have any real - get up and go - to it.  Once I put in the K&N Air Filter, WHAT a Change in the performance.  I have to be careful when starting up from a red light, as I can snap my head back with little amount of touch on the gas peddle. When driving on I-95, and need to pass a slow vehicle, that's in the passing lane, I can jump from 75MPH to plus 90 MPH with a little push on the peddle.  Don't dare floor the peddle as I know I can go over 100MPH in a heart beat. Got to keep watching for State Troopers all the time. 

I just put a new K&N Air Filter in my Dodge Grand Caravan last night, and can't wait for some nice weather to try it out on I-95.  Been using the Truck and giving the Van a rest as I have already put 30,000 miles on it in less then 12 months.

I'm 65 years old and have driven many different vehicles in my life, but have never seen such a difference in vehicle performance with just a changing of an Air Filter.  I have been telling the people here at work about the filter and what I have seen it do for me.

I recently installed a FIPK on my Toyota Tacoma V6  4X4, TRD, extended cab.  The last time I filled up I got 21.6 mpg. This was for mixed mountain and local and freeway driving at speeds up to 75. There was even a brief stint of 4X4 low range.  I had a tough time getting 20 mpg before I installed the kit.  Power is noticeably improved also. I would definitely recommend this product.  Installation was straight forward and instructions clear.  There is noticeably more noise from under the hood during hard acceleration, but during most driving, there seems to be no difference in sound.

Hello,
Just wanted to send a BIG thank you for creating the K&N FIPK for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 L V-8.  Within a week of purchasing the vehicle new I had a K & N filter installed.  Since I am a civil hot rod, I kept eyeing your FIPK kit for my vehicle.  I decided to buy it and I installed it in early October 2002-something I should have done from the beginning!!  What a blast it is to drive now. (This V-8 runs great stock-but is now a monster!) It was very easy to install with the old air box removal taking the most time for installation.  I started it up and drove down the street to the first stop sign.  From there I floored the accelerator and quickly backed off of it!  My engine had turned into something very different than before!  It sounded like a beast and runs awesomely!!  After the initial shock and the poop eating grin was gone I have enjoyed far more power and increased miles per gallon. My results are over 2 mpg better in town (with mashing the gas peddle!) and way more power than I thought possible.  I am ready to see how it runs against other vehicles.  Your FIPK kit is a fine investment and it WILL NOT cancel your new vehicle warranty!! Keep up the great work and I am a diligent K & N fan that constantly tells everyone about your products.

Absolutely outstanding!
I am just writing to let you guys know just how pleased I am with your products.  I have a 1988 4x4 Chevy 3/4 ton suburban.  It's needed some "tlc" for a long time from the original owners (my mom and dad) and while I was at it decided to put in a billet grille, brand new interior, but more importantly to you-the engine as well.  Everywhere I looked for more airflow, only one name came up-K&N filters.  I bought one to match up with the new parts for my engine, but I won't do the work for another few weeks.  I just couldn't resist trying your filter in the mostly stock Chevy 350 tbi engine I have in it now.  WOW!!!!!  Not only did a 5 minute change of air filters result in absolutely incredible performance (easily 10 hp gain, if not more), but the engine runs more smoothly now than 14 years ago when the truck was brand new!  Better passing power, smoother engine, and the gas mileage has gone from 7 1/2 miles per gallon to a whopping 10 mpg (outstanding considering the percentage!).  All this living in an area that's at 6200 feet and with mountain peaks traveled daily to and from work at nearly 8500 feet.  With the savings in gas money, the $45 I spent for the filter will repay itself in 4 trips to the gas station and just save me money from there out!  I love this filter so much that I have also put one in my 1993 Dodge Ramcharger with a magnum 360 engine, my sister took my advice and put one in a 4.0 liter Ford Ranger, and when I finally buy my Corvette in another few months, it will be K&N powered as well!!

A little long-winded way of just saying "keep up the good work!"

I purchased a 14" Filtercharger with billet cover , installed it as soon as I got home from Auto-Rama II in Pittsburgh {Lawrence county fair grounds}.  Installed it on my 82 Chevy 4 by 4 / 355 motor ------------zoom 20 horse power out of the box, for real!  I still can't believe the performance increase, so much so I have to keep a close eye on the tach, throttle response is incredible.

Thanks for the 20 horses,

I just purchased and installed a 57-6001 kit into my 1990 Nissan 300zx and am very pleased with the results.  First off, the kit was very good quality with easy to follow instructions.  The step by step guide was perfectly matched to my vehicle and took only about an hour to install.   I was amazed that I actually could feel a difference in performance.  I really did not expect a noticeable gain yet and was basically just preparing for upcoming stages of upgrades, allowing the engine to breath better.  
Great job, great product, keep it up!

This is probably the greatest fifty dollars I will ever spend on my car.  I can't understand why anyone would use anything but K&N in their car.  Thanks again for your product!

I'd like to thank you for a really great product.  I installed your FIPK on my 1999 Chevy S10 extended cab 4x4,and simply put, the results were amazing. I already had a k+n filter installed (with the front of the air box cut out for more air flow) and it ran very well. After installing the FIPK it's a completely different truck.  It does absolutely everything you guys said it would.  Thanks for a superior product.

I have used K & N Air Filters on my 1998 Ford Ranger Splash With a 2.5 4 Cylinder.  Before installation I had a little rough time with Gas mileage, acceleration and rough shifting. Once the K & N filter was installed, my in town gas mileage went from 18 to 25 miles per gallon and all the rest of the problem dissipated.  I recommend K & N filters for the Rangers to anyone who owns one. They truly perform as they advertise.  Also I was curious one day and used a mini filter that was a Air intake Filter and placed it on a Gas Powered Radio Controlled Traxxas T Maxx.  The Filter allowed it to breath better and also run cooler due to better airflow and fuel Mixture. I would've never believed it worked on even a very small sized truck's performance.

Thanks For Creating a Very Performing Filter,

At first I was a bit reluctant to purchase a K&N filter.  I was wondering what kind of air filter could be worth $35.00?  Any ways I purchased it and installed it in my 1991 Chevy S10 and got immediate response, throttle take off , gas mileage and performance.  It also gave my truck a deep rumble of power, sounds excellent.  From now on I will purchase K&N products for my truck.
Thank you.

K&N-  
    I have to say that the FIPK ROCKS!  Its so hard to find anything for the newer Explorers especially the V6, I was starting to lose interest in my SUV.  I found a custom exhaust place here in Tucson that did a GREAT job installing an exhaust system, that working with your product made miles of difference in the performance of my truck.  Installation was easy, so easy that I did it in the midst of Tucson's worst thunderstorm this year, nothing but a simple overhang to keep some of the rain off.  I know very little about engines and cars, but with the directions (pictures made the mission) I was able to go from the box to test driving in under 45 minutes.

Thanks for the renewed faith in automotive performance products.  A Job WELL done!

I bought a K&N replacement filter about 3 months after I installed a catback system on my '90 4Runner.  A friend of mine recommended it to me.  I was skeptical of the claims he made about increased mileage AND performance.  I was sure that spending $300 upgrading the exhaust was the best value for performance.  At the very least I thought I could save some money having a reusable filter.  BOY WAS I WRONG!!!  3 mpg (17%) increase and a definite "seat of the pants" improvement in performance even AFTER I spent nearly 8 times the amount on an exhaust system upgrade.  That was nearly 2 years ago.  I'm buying a '02 Tacoma Double Cab and will install a FIPK system in that.  Mahalo for a job well done!

I finally tried your filter on my high mileage car.  I do notice more response when I go to pass. It gets up to speed faster.  My only regret is that the Vipers still blow the doors off my 97 Neon.  I guess I need more than a filter. My mileage has improved slightly.  I do 30,000 miles a year and it is more fun to drive now.

I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Extended cab, with the 8.1 L gas engine & Allison 5 speed tranny.  I am as suspect as anyone can be about any automotive add-on that supposedly gives you Wonder bra results.  After researching the internet, your site, and talking to people I personally know, I purchased and installed the K&N Filtercharger.  I filled up the tank, (this truck loves gas stations), and drove it the same as the previous trips, which consists mostly of commuting.  My first tank produced 11.5mpg, which is a 10% improvement over the previous tank of gas. I did notice a more robust exhaust note while idling.  I don't know about performance, but if the mileage went up, then the performance would also be likely to improve.  To try and find out would be counter-productive, and would waste a lot of gas.  As one associate at work said," One way to look at it is every 10th tank of gas is free".  The filter will pay for itself in 3 months.

I bought a K & N FIPK for my 1995 Chevy Camaro when I got the car in 1998.  I installed the kit my self and it was very easy to do.  I could literally hear whistling of the filter pulling in air.  The performance improvement was noticeable right away.  The gas mileage increase was excellent.  The range I got from a full tank of gas before was about 240 miles. With the K & N Air filter and a Flow Master muffler I was getting 300 miles to the tank. I went from 16 mpg to 20 mpg. The best part was that I had the Camaro for 4+ years and only cleaned the filter twice. It more than paid for itself and cleaning it is easy. 

I sold the Camaro and now have a 2002 Pontiac Aztek.  I know, I know, it is ugly, but I like it and that is all that matters. Anyway, I am going tonight to pick up the K & N Filter for my new Aztek.  I can't recommend these filters enough. Nothing else gives you as much bang for the buck.

Just installed a FIPK on my 2002 4-Runner.  On a legitimate dyno it showed a increase of 18 hp, a 10% gain over original filter.  Haven't checked the mileage yet, but the accelerator response is definitely there.  If you can handle the increased noise during acceleration, this is the system for you!

I purchased the FIPK System after reading your testimonies and a little research and what a great product.  I have a 98 Mustang GT (5 speed) and had it installed easily within an hour.  After I installed it I took it to a side road here in Chicago and noticed an instant improvement in power.  As I floored it and ran through the gears I even noticed different sound from the engine now that it can breathe properly. 

It's too soon to tell on fuel economy but then again I own a Mustang and who buys a sports car for that.  Great product-great engineering,

I installed a FIPK system on my '98 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab/ long bed. After re-gearing the beast with 456 gearing, I noticed a big difference in the overall performance of my truck. ( Not gonna set any land speed records)  After the install of the FIPK was completed it was time to test it out. I lit those big tires up and I laid two even patches of rubber down my street. What a difference. The beast is ready to race.

Thank you for an unbelievable high performance product

WOW!  I am amazed with your filter and the performance it delivers. I own a 1989 GMC JIMMY (FULLSIZE) with a 6.2L Diesel in it and I cant believe the difference in starting the engine...it smokes so much less now and the engine is a lot more responsive too.  I also noticed the sound difference of the engine ...it sounds like it is growling and wants to suck the hood in... a definite increase in air flow. And the truck is a lot quicker now off take off with no black smoke under load and better fuel mileage too.  I love this filter. I even installed one on my 1969 Camaro with a 427 Big Block and got the same results.

Thanks for a great product K&N.

I recently purchased a K&N air filter for my 2001 Tacoma 4x4.  I installed it in the parking lot of the auto parts store and found an immediate difference in acceleration and response.  Since this is day one, I'll have to see about the mileage, but so far, I'm a happy camper.  I had two passengers and horsed the truck a little on the way to the store to buy the filter to have an accurate comparison.  No question, BIG improvement.

K&N:
I have been a loyal customer of your products for many years now and never have been dissatisfied with the results.  I use your filters in every product I own, my ATV's, trucks, my jeep, and everything else I have owned.  That's what makes me proud to install a K&N filter, whether it be an air filter, FIPK kit, oil filter, or crankcase breather, on my vehicle because I know it will perform just as I expect it to.

To K&N staff,
I just picked up an air filter for my Ford Ranger, and I have to say that it has made a huge difference in the way the truck accelerates....especially at highway speeds.  I had one on my V8 Jeep, but I never realized how much the performance would show up on my fuel injected V6 found in my Ford.  ....Great products guys!

I have a 1999 F-150 4X4, I purchased one of your filters for it at the local Auto Store.  I can't believe the power it's giving the 5.4L Triton.  Throttle response is there, the truck was by no means powerless before this, but now its very quick!  I love your products, and soon hope to purchase the FIPK's! Thank You K&N for being a unique resource for my vehicles needs!

Thank You

K&N - First hand, I want to say how impressed I am with your product. I recently bought a new 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport and was disappointed with the power and acceleration it had. Once I had the FIPK Generation II installed by my local 4x4 store I noticed major improvements in terms of passing lanes and full throttle response and definitely gas mileage. Thanks for making a quality product.

Thanks.

Hello K&N,    I have a Volvo turbo cabriolet. After the first 15, 000 miles with the factory filter I changed it for a K&N. Wow, what a difference it made in performance! Also, I live in the hills of Los Angeles and it's pretty dusty. It's nice to be able to take the filter out and recharge it when I need instead of buying a Volvo stock one at $29.00 every 12k miles or less. Thanks for a great product.

Hello, I installed my FPIK in my '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and was I impressed.  The power is awesome!  I took it out on a short freeway spin and was amazed at the passing acceleration.  I also noticed an immediate improvement in gas mileage. Too soon to tell show much performance and mileage I'll get, but what a great product.  The install was easy, and when I tromp it, it sounds like my Dad's old 440 4BBL in his big Mopars of the past.

My name is C. Peterson.  I just put a Filtercharger on my 1994 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.0 engine.  It runs like a totally different truck.  Haven't had a chance to check the miles per gal yet.. I'M impressed .Don't know why I waited so long.  I'd recommend this product to anyone.

Dear K&N,
I just recently purchased a K&N air filter for my 1993 Ford Taurus GL.  I am very impressed how my car now performs since replacing the old stock filter with this great new k&n model # 33-2024.  I was wondering if you could please send me a couple K&N "stickers", so I could proudly display them on my car for all to know that this baby runs with K&N.

Thank You...

I use K&N products in all my vehicles!  I like not having to get a new air filter every time I change my oil.  Currently I am running a K&N replacement filter in my 96 Jeep Cherokee, but I am switching to the FIPK.  I can't wait!   I use the oil filters too.  I noticed the change in the way my engine was breathing right away when I got my first K&N air filter.  Thanks for being such a cool company!

I own a 1999 4.6 Mustang GT automatic.  I recently bought the K&N air filter for it and I was thinking to myself how can this filter give my car more horse power?  Well, I got in my car and put the peddle to meddle like I usually do.  For the first time in 2 years I got scared.  Each and every time I shifted from first to second it would lay rubber and I could feel the power with out a doubt!  My filter cost me $49.95 and in one day I have already gotten my money's worth!  Thanks K&N.

Thanks K & N,
      Hello my name is Mark Bratton I would like to say I have a 2000 model F-150 Ford truck with a 4.6L V8. Now I wasn't sure about buying your air filter because a lot of company's say their product is the best.  But I've heard so much about yours from other people, I just had to try it. So I stopped by my local auto parts store and bought one,  and changed it out right there in the parking lot.  I've bought a lot of performance parts over the years and I have to say, I could not believe the difference a air filter could make.  I feel I've gained 15 or 20 HP ---I just can't get over the difference.

Thanks,

Great Product  - I want to sincerely recommend your air filters to everybody.  I put one on my 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier.  The difference was immediate: 1) More power and acceleration, 2) it went from 35 MPG to 39 MPG on the highway, amazing!!

Thank you,
