Bought the K&N Typhoon kit for my Toyota Corolla T Sport a couple of months ago. The sound out of it is just awesome, espeicially after Lift kicks in at 6200RPM.
Can't say I've noticed the fuel improvements as I use £25 every 3 or 4 days, that noise and power is too attractive to drive sensibly!

My dad's a car collector and we have a few cars
1985 Mercedes 380SE
1981 Mercedes 380SL
1976 Mercedes 420SEL
1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi
1976 El Camino Classic (mine) =)
1991 Mercedes 190 2.3
and a few more and...
I 've always heard about K&N filters and always wanted to get them for our cars. I mean more fuel economy AND power! What could be greater than that?
So I rode in my friends 2001 Mercedes E320 and I've driven these cars before and they seem to have a bit of lag stock.
But his was a beast away from stop lights and made a great sound.
Turns out he had K&N filters in it. I asked him and he said he's averaging about 4MPG's better.
After that I've pretty much become an unofficial K&N salesman.
I've talked about 10 of my friends into getting them for their cars.
2004 civic 1996 ford ranger
2000 Mercedes CL600
and even one of my friends into getting an intake on his '96 Custom Mustang
(Can we say possible sponsorship? =) )
So I decided to talk my mom into getting one for her 85 Mercedes 380SE and we just ordered our first one today so I can't wait for it to come in and see the difference. It'll decide if we get them in all of our cars. I have total confidence and can't wait to post when we find the results.

I had bought a K&N cold intake for my 04 Cummins and I was impressed with the awesome change in it. The extra power and saving a little more money at the pump wasn't too bad either. So just recently I bought a 08 Toyota Tundra and I put the K&N series 77 intake in it, the sound I got now is awesome and the extra hp is there when I need it. Haven't really had the chance to see if it saves at the pump, all I have been doing is putting pedal down and listening to motor roar. Thanks.

Over 35 years ago I started working at a local Kawaski dealership. The hot mod for a KZ900 was a 4 into 1 header, a little rejetting, removal of the stock air box and add K&N's. The extra room around the carbs made sync and tune soo much easier. The only problem I thought was water going thru the filters from rain and pressure washing. Soon I found my fears unwarranted. The K&N's stood up to total abuse. I curse anyone who would remove this filter. They work forever! Learn how to clean them, put them on your daily driver and never buy another filter. Save fuel and gain horsepower!

I just installed a K&N Filter in my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Hemi. The check engine light that's been on for a few weeks went out after just a few seconds. The stock filter really did not look dirty. With about 100 miles on the K&N I can see improvement in gas mileage already. Well worth the extra money, it will pay for itself soon.
Thanks....

After experiencing a significant power & fuel mileage improvement in my 1992 HD Sportster after installing your air & oil filters, I finally purchased an air filter for my 2002 5.4 lliter V8 Expedition. Have not finished the first tank of gas since installing to check fuel mileage improvement, but the improved accleration was quickly noticed. Engine starts easier, warms up quicker, & the acceleration from a dead stop is noticeably brisker according to my seat-of-the-pants dyno !!! At my age(57) I have finally decided on some absolutes in my life: Jesus, Harley-Davidson, Amsoil syn lubricants in everything, Accell spark plugs & wires, Amsoil/K&N oil filters, but the air filter has got to be nothing less than K&N !!! Thanks for adding new life to the internal combustion engine. PS: Got an air filter for my JD riding mower ??? It could use some improvement also---ha-ha-ha

Congratulations on a fantastic product. I own a Citroen Xantia HDI 2ltr diesel, now semi retired, after 51 yrs on the spanners, also I tow a caravan 15ft. I am really pleased with my K&N filter, I fact I have just purchased a Daihatsu Sirion 1ltr petrol car ,so am going to put a filter in this one as well, as petrol in the Uk is £1/04 a ltr, so one has to get the most out of your petrol as possible.

I had tried the filter alone on my '81 Monte Carlo, then my Grand Prix, then my 95 Aurora. I still have the Aurora, I now have an 02 Silverado quad cab long bed w/6 ltr gas, 410 gears and 295/75/16. I never bought the whole system, just the filter. It took a bad investment in an oil change. N-E-ways my mileage and performance took a dive. I was upset and went shopping for stuff for my truck. Like I said I just bought the filter due to the price of a complete unit $300. Since I was mad at the oil, I bought the complete FIPK #5730311. I only put this unit on in about 45min and went to work that morning. The difference from before, the truck just pulls. I used less gas that morning than before my stupid mistake with the oil. At gas prices these days, I thank you. The sound from a dead stop is just great. The sound from 3000 rpms and up is wicked. Sorry I never bought the complete package from you before. So to say I'm sorry I ordered the packaged for my Aurora. To everybody, make the investment. Buy the complete system. U will not be let down. I've had it for two weeks and have saved $64-67 in fuel. Not to mention the smile to sound ratio. And yes I changed the oil.

In 2002 I bought a 95 Saturn and was going to buy an air filter for it. When I realized how much a filter for a Saturn cost, the guy at the parts desk told me about K&N filters. At first I was skeptical, but I knew the guy well and decided that I would give it a try seeing that a paper filter cost nearly the same as a K&N one did. I've been using them ever since. Even in a lil Saturn I noticed improved power and started getting 45 miles per gallon on the highway! Before that I only got 37 mpg on the highway. I own a 2003 Cavelier now and the minute I got it, I put a K&N in it. You guys make a great product that I'll keep using.

K&N I have a 98 Mitsubushi 3000 GT. Candy red might I add. lol But seriously I used to get 18 mpg, I'm gett' around 25mpg now. The sound it makes as I slam the gas is so beautiful I cant do it enough and that beng the first upgrade I did on my engine. It makes a hell of a difference with acceleration thx k&n ur product is awsome man.

I purchased 2 of your air filters for my 2004 Porsche Cayenne S. All I can say is WOW. The gas milage has gone up to around 16 miles per gallon now as opposed to the 14 I was getting before. I would estimate an added 10 more HP. The car was powerful before but now it feels like it has a turbo. The engine sounds more powerful, and runs smoother. I highly recommend these filters to anyone with a high performance car, or in fact any car. I have recommended these air filters to my friend who has a BMW. I hope her results are as noticeable as mine. A+++++ product. The car hurled itself to 140 MPH in no time.

Replaced my air filer with a K&N in an '08 Ford Escape 4WD, V6, Limited. It is rated to yield 17 MPG in the city, however, I am receiving 20.4 MPG in the city, which is a 16.6% increase. At first, the idle was significantly higher when I first started the engine, as was acceleration. Now, about 3 weeks later, the engine seems to have adjusted the idel down, near to what is was before, however, acceleration remains improved. Air is thin in Denver, at one mile above sea level, so engines develop less horespower. Any improvement in filtered air intake is a welcome change to help deal with the Rocky Mountains.

You just got a customer for life.

I bought a K&N Air Charger (air intake) for my new 07 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and the performance has surpassed my expectations. After putting the Air Charger on my truck I noticed the throttle response was 50% better than factory with the increase in horse power. The only draw back that I have experienced is a 1 mile per gallon decrease in fuel economy but the performance that I gained is worth it. I am sold on the K&N product and will look to purchasing from K&N in the future.

I have a 2005 Ford Ranger 3.0 and just installed the FIPK (intake kit). It was really easy with the great directions and the pictures of my engine, not just gerneric pictures. I noticed it sounded better as soon as I turned the key. At first I wasn't saving gas because I was flooring it off of every redlight I came to because the acceleration blew me away. Now it's been a few weeks. I've calmed down a little and noticed a 4mpg increase and I'm still flooring it just every other red light now.

I purchased a K&N replacement filter for my 1999 Pontiac Grand AM and instantly saw an increase in acceleration. I have since sold the car but made sure to take the filter out in case I could ever use it again. Sure enough a friend of mine has the same required filter so I sold it to him and he immediately noticed he was saving fuel on his long drive into work. This really shows the lasting ability of these filters. I am picking up my K&N filter for my Celica tomorrow. I cant wait! Thanks!

K&N filters are awesome. I put the FIPK (air intake) on my 2001 Toyota Tacoma. It was a snap to install. All the directions were very easy to follow. The change in power is great. I was immpressed with the panel type filter so I got the whole intake kit. Between the intake and performence muffler my truck has sure changed its toon. It's only a 3.4L but you wouldn't know it when it leaves most everything at the traffic lights. Anyways, keep up all the good work. Thanks for a great product.

This is one of the absolute best products I've ever spent my money on. I installed a K&N air filter in my 97 Ford Taurus GL FFV with the 3.0L OHV V6 and I gotta say, I'm extremely happy. My Taurus has a digital fuel range counter and before the K&N I've seen it read as high as 502 miles to empty on 18 gallons of gas, but after the K&N installation, over time it eventually read as high as 571 miles to empty. I even drove the car from an absolute full tank at highway speeds and purposely ran it out of gas to disprove any skeptics I had, and sure enough by that time, my trip odometer read pretty close to my fuel range counter. I know for sure now that I would have never achieved those results if I were always running a regular paper element filter. I also noticed a slight increase in take off from a stand still too. I very highly praise this magnificent innovation in auto-air intake technology.
You people have a loyal fan for life!

Ok, so I see and hear K&N. Soooo I figure why not? I put a typhoon intake kit on my 04 Infinity G35 and I must say wow. First off...the sound alone is SWEET! I can't tell you the gas mileage I save around town...cuz I gun this sucker any chance I can get to hear that system. Although I have upgraded my ECU and plenum's I saw a significant increase in MPG. I drove from Chicago to Louisiana two round trips (once before filter and after). Before filter...filled up gas tank 3 times. After filter...filled up 2 times under same driving habits! It does work...not sure the HP gain (didn't dyno) but I really do feel it.

Imagine if you will, my dismay in determining that the K&N Filter Kit that I had installed in my 94 Caprice three years ago needed two parts replaced. But....imagine my delight in the great customer service and response time that had the parts I needed to me,on my door step, in less than 48 hours! Your million mile warranty is the best, and you guys stand behind it with a vengence, and my ride is back on the road!

Oh my god! I installed your Knn OE replacement air filter in my beloved 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo LS! It has a 3.1 Lr V6 motor! It ran great before the installation, it being a Chevy and all, but after the installation I ran the car up the street. I was doing around 35 or 40 mph and then I punched it! WOW the car pulled way harder than before! I will never ever use any other brand!!! And that's a promise! I liked it so much I went and purchased the Knn oil filter for it also!

In addition to that I am running your air filter in my 2006 CBR600rr along with the oil filter. THE PRODUCTS WORK!!! Better throttle response, power and fuel efficiency!! It's a no brainer to me!! I get 2 to 3 more mpg's in my 08 Titan, and with gas prices nowa' days the intake will pay for itself soon! K&N Fan 4 life!!

I recently installed a cold air intake kit on my 95 Blazer and I would have to say this is the greatest product I've seen in a long time.
It gave it more throttle response from the take off and my gas mileage went up by about 3 miles more per gallon.

Absolutely awesome!!!! Not only did K&N produce a great product, they went and continue to go the extra mile. Dealing with customer service may have been the best customer service experience I have had in years. The performance gain was immediately noticed and continues to be awesome. Went from 20 MPG to a little over 22 (HWY). And they stand behind their products with a great guarantee. I will never use anything other than K&N. If only they made exhaust!!!

Win with K&N
I will NEVER run anything but your filters on any vehicle I own. In the 90s there was a lot of controversy surrounding the k&n filters related to warranty claims (I worked at chrysler at the time) and I had to sit in this seminar one day and listen to some stooge rattle off 10 different reasons why it was NOT a good idea to put a k&n filter on a new dodge truck...you can only imagine his embarrassment when we all went out for a smoke break and I popped the hood on my '94 dakota (fuel injected 5.2 magnum v8) and proceeded to tell everyone that your FIPK (just an open air cleaner with round filter-- on that model truck had been on there for close to 90,000 miles, the truck had over 1000 1/4 mile passes on it (in the 13-second range), and the truck was driven harder as my daily driver than any abuse it got at the track. Compared to the stock air cleaner, as well as NO air cleaner...it was a tenth ( .10 second) quicker in the 1/4 mile with the K&N...which loosely translates into about 10 horsepower. Several times I drove it from Texas to South Carolina and back and with the 4.10 gears (and overdrive trans) it was knocking down 21-22 mpg with the cruise set at 75-80 mph. This was a V8 with larger than stock cam, headers, a bunch of home-brewed intake manifold mods, and full 3" exhaust. For the record, the tonneau cover and a 2" drop added an average of 3mpg on this particular bodystyle (91-96 dakota). By comparison, the same truck in totally "stock" form with 3.91 gears would get roughly 16-17 mpg on a good average day. Was ALL of that gain due to the K&N...not quite, but any time you SLOW DOWN a tenth just by taking off your air cleaner...you know you have a good product ! Never had an issue with any aspect of the performance or reliability of the truck, or the K&N product.
With the same FIPK conversion on a '95 1/2-ton ram 1500 4X4 with the 5.9, it picked up 1 mpg and close to a tenth on the dragstrip. Any time you can pull an extra 1 or 2 mpg out of a 5.9 (360)...you know you have a good product.

What a difference!
My 63 Series Aircharger Kit arrived yesterday, via fedex. I drove my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 to my neighbors house to install the components.
Installation started at 7:05pm and was completed by 8:00pm. Not one issue, all parts and directions we perfect.
There is a large difference noted in power, I will see if fuel economy increases.....after I quit playing with it! :-) Previously the truck was lucky to turn the tires over from a stop, not a problem now, I feel like a kid again!
Thanks K&N!

Just installed a drop-in filter in my 2003 Sierra 2500HD 3/4Ton 6.6 Turbo Diesel. Was getting about 19.1 MPG with a new paper filter. With K & N getting 22.6 under the same conditions. GM Diesel's tend to do better than the competition. But, needless to say I am impressed. And all the BS about the filter's causing problems with the truck's electronics seems to be just that, BS! Wish I hadn't listened to that service advisor who liked selling me filters for so long. And, the sad part about the deal, is that it took a Ford Guy to finally sell me on the K & N. :-)
In conclusion, I'm sold on K & N for life.

WoW!!! What a product from K&N. I heard about all the praise from k&n products from my friends, still wasn't convinced so I decided to purchase the best k&n had to offer which is the FIPK air intake kit. I have a 1996 Z28 Camaro conv. and it was fairly easy to install. Since I already have a full exhaust I didn't notice much as far as sound but when I hit the gas from a dead stop, I was amazed...PERIOD! You surely can tell the difference in HP. For this particular vehicle it's an estimated 18HP gain. Believe I got all those horses lol. I'm living proof that this product works! I would recomment this kit over any brand out there. I'm a true believer now.
Thanks K&N...(the world's best air filter indeeeed)

Well I have been running the K&N air filter on my 04 Dodge Neon and 05 Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible for about a year now. I am VERY HAPPY I spent the money. Respectively my gas mileage has been solid 30 and solid 25. As for the Neon, I can't compare with old filter since I got the K&N within a month of the purchasing the Neon. But for my PT I am soooooo pleased since the only time I got above 21mpg before the K&N was on the highway. Then it was usually 25-26. Since K&N I get solid 25. K&N is the BEST and I will never drive another vehicle without one.

Man o Man u guys must be personally thanked and rewarded, me and my family currently use more then 10 K&N air filters, the difference is huge, the performance and throttle response is crisp and punchy without sacrificing mileage instead it has increased by say 12% to 18%. Once I install a K&N product I forget about it as I know it will take utmost care of my machine . Till now I have purchased K&N R-1060, RU-3750, R-1100, RC-1060, K&N Oil Filter and the list just goes on man. Thaaaaaanx a lot guys and the most significant thing is afterall being imported to our country with all duties and all still the purchase price is reasonable thaaanx again ...

I just bought 3 K&N filters for my new Mercedes CLK 200 Kom.(W 209) part number E-2011. I used K&N during the time I studied at Loma Linda University with my BMW and I found that it is very excellent in both gas and smoothness. I appreciate K&N very much and I want to cheer anyone who owns the car to change the original air filter to K&N air filter now. I thank K&N Filter for my cars and I will continue to use.

I have been a fan of K&N air filters since the mid 90's. The first filter I used was on my 87' Jeep Cherokee and it made a huge difference! I immediately gained a 10% increase in gas mileage, faster throttle response, and a much smoother running engine. The Straight 6 4.0 Liter engine is amazing to start with, but even better with a K&N! I have installed half a dozen K&N filters on my friends' vehicles including a 97' GMC 1500 Truck, 98' Mazda 626, and my 01' Jeep Cherokee. What a great product!!!

I recently purchased a generation 2 cold air intake for my 03 GMC. Instalation was a breeze. Me and my girlfriend put it together in about 45 minutes with no arguments. Wasn't expecting to see as many gains in throttle response. I was only expecting an increase in fuel mileage. It woke my 5.3L up. It feels like a completely different truck. I'm very satisfied, for having 83,000+ miles, it runs much cooler. It really compliments my cat back exhaust system. Would recommend to everyone. Now I like to think I have a hotrod.

I just got my new K&N air filter today for my '06 Hyundai Sonata V6. I pulled the original out and it was the original, with 35k on it. (got car used) The new filter was about 1/3 the thickness. Once I started the car I was sold forever, she purred nice and smooth, acceleration was even nicer and even cruising was more pleasant. My brother has had intake systems on both of his current trucks since new, and decided to try one, but I can only get a filter for my car because of the factory Ram Air system.
As soon as I can get some open roads, I'll let you know how much of a diff the new filter makes.
The only filter I will ever buy for my car is a K&N!!!
Thank you

I've had K&N filters on everything I've owned since 1991 when I bought my first Turbo Buick. Recently I traded in my '99 Z28 daily driver/race car for something more practical and an upgrade. I bought a pre-owned 2005 Mercedes C55 AMG. I figured if i must have 4 doors I should at least still have something with power and fun to drive. I knew nothing about Mercedes under the hood and wasn't even sure where the filters went. I've never owned anything but GM previously. I discovered the car has two panel air filters and I wanted to switch to my tried and true K&N option.
My friend who owns a performance shop also had bought a C55 at the same time I did. After dyno testing in stock mode, and then again w/ the filters removed and a temporary K&N cone over the MAF, it picked up 10 rwhp. We then installed K&N OE location panel filters and dyno tested again. He picked up 8 rwhp over the stock panel air filters. A worthwhile gain! We then dyno'd mine this weekend and found some clogged disposable air filters in it. Mine picked up 11 rwhp w/o the disposable panels air filters in it, so I went ahead and ordered my K&N's through his distributor. 8+ rwhp gains for less than $100 is money well spent!
I plan to use the K&N oil filter elements also as I intend to change my oil more often than the recommended MB service intervals.

I own a Ford '97 F-250 7.3L. I Just got a new K&N filter intake system and put the factory one in the box of the K&N filter! Let me tell you something bro the throttle feels better with the intake. I'm able to get a better response from it and the turbo dude when I step on it lightly the turbo spoons and sounds loud just with this intake ,its funny when I make the turbo sound like that when I'm passing the Cummins and other people cause its loud and sounds like the 6.0 coming from a 7.3L plus it lowers EGT Temp. It's a must for the '97 F-250 Powerstrokes trust me. …just feels better knowing it just feels right.
Thanks K&N
