2006 Nissan Xterra with 63-6014 Aircharger

I recently purchased my Nissan Xterra and while the power was good...I knew it could be much better, specifically in the higher revs. I spent a whole day comparing stats on various Cold Air Intakes, having seen the difference they make on my other vehicles.

What I found very interesting was the claims made by some ‘other’ manufacturers (who shall remain nameless) stating that I can expect a HP boost of up to 50HP. A gain like that is a bordering on blasphemy, only achievable through a supercharger/turbo, which lead me to question the credibility of these ‘other’ suppliers.

After a thorough search, I chose the 63-6014; to be quite frank I think K&N is quite conservative with their Dyno test @ 14.27HP gain at 5,075rpm…my truck now has power that was never there. The sound the system makes is enough to make me drool. The installation was a breeze though it did take me slightly longer than an hour…I’m a bit of a perfectionist though so that could be the reason.

This kit surpassed all of my expectations; K&N is truly leading in this field with superb products, with a quality that is unmatched. To top it all off, they are honest with their promised results. I always say: “Under Promise and Over Deliver”, K&N you clearly have this principle in your back pocket.

Great work! Please feel free to share this message with anyone, as I will certainly be spreading news of this product to anyone who will listen!

Kindest regards,

My K&N High-Flow Filter Experience

I installed a 33-2120 K&N High-Flow Air Filter, on my Honda Civic 2000 1.6. The experience started when I replaced the paper filter with the K&N High-Flow Air Filter. I got quick engine starts, fast response in the acceleration, better gas mileage, and racing sound. My Honda Civic 2000 has 65,000 miles (about 105,000 km), and runs better than ever. And also now it does not shake either. The K&N High-Flow Filter, is the best thing that I could do for my car.

I just installed a K&N Filter on my 2002 Mazda MPV with 112,000 kms on it. I first observed that the vehicle was easier to start and I didn't have to press hard on the accelerator to reach the desired speed. My boss also installed one on his Nissan Maxima. He also noticed a huge difference in power.

There are a lot of people who say negative things about K&N Filters. I think they're the ones missing out on a very great product ever developed.

I might be going home to the Philippines this year, and I'll be measuring the OEM filters for my Isuzu Crosswind, and my parents' Mitsubishi L200 Strada Turbo Diesel and Toyota Hi-Lux. I hope that you will have drop-in filters for these vehicles.

Instant noticeable improvement!!!!
2005 FORD Explorer 4.0L V6 F/I

I spend 5 hours a day on the road and wanted to get a little more power and better fuel economy out of my explorer (26K miles). I figured the easiest thing to do, was add a cold air intake kit and performance exhaust. Well try and find an air intake kit for an 05 6cyl Explorer. You can't! I tried 3 different models claiming to fit the 05 Explorer, but none did. They were all made for the Ranger which does not work in the Explorer. In any event, I figured I would at least drop in a K&N performance air filter (part# 33-2207) to at least help with the air flow. So I dropped it in the air box and WOW, that simple little change made a world of difference!! The vehicle actually reacts when you press on the gas!!! It is very noticeable when climbing hills (Which living in WV I do a lot of). In a million years I did not expect that much difference with a simple air filter replacement. Nice Job K&N, keep up the good work!!! Next weekend I add the new exhaust and only hope it shows the same gains as the K&N air filter did!!!

2.5 MPG increase for my 2006 Dodge Mega cab 5.7 Hemi

I installed my K&N air charger (air intake) kit # 16-1533 on my 2006 Dodge Mega Cab 1500 pickup with a 5.7 Hemi. My pickup has 3600 miles on it and was getting 15.8 surburban driving at 55-60mph and 18 mpg at 72 mph free way driving. I have an increase of about 2.8 mpg and the increased power is quite evident. The installation only took 45 mins. and the instruction manual was clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants increased fuel economy and power. I am amazed..

WOW My 01Wrangler runs Great!

Hi K&N ,
I installed your FIPK 2 months ago...WOW! I have improved my mileage to 20 MPH highway from 17! I have lots of Mid range "Oomph" now and I rarely have to downshift the Jeep when going up these North GA Mountains!

Keep it up, Can't wait to see what you could do with TIRES!

Just fitted a K&N 57i-0502 induction kit to my 1998 Toyota Celica 1800ST. It's put the fire back in to a 10 year old car. It now runs like it was meant to. Great product. Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot

I drive an AU series II XR6 Manual Sedan, I put a K & N POD filter on about 10,000km ago and the improvements were amazing....

BUT.... I bought your filter "re-charger" today, and I was astonished when I drove my car after using the cleaner....WOW- It is just like a new filter--- IF anyone doesn't believe it works, man, it does (and I thought it was good for only 1 "clean", but I think I'll get about 5 filter cleans from this product) thanks a lot K & N!!!

[a lot of other filters don't offer such a product to clean the filter, but the fact that you guys do, I have no problem spending the extra money on your products - coz I know they work and that the engineering and effort actually goes into assuring the product is of the highest stds!]

K&N FIPK

I bought a fipk (air intake system) for my Toyota Tacoma 1998 4x4. The first minute I got into my truck I noticed increased performance. I wish I knew about this years ago. My gas mileage improved. It is nice when I need to pass someone, the power is there.

Thank You K&N,

Dear K&N,

I've just received one of your 57i kits, a Christmas present for me and my Rover 420 GSI. I think it's great, and I felt compelled to write the following testimonial...

I really can't recommend K&N enough to anyone who enjoys driving. As soon as I opened the box, I could see that each component was of the highest quality. I fitted the kit myself within half an hour of opening the box, using little more than a screwdriver. A quick test drive and I was grinning from ear to ear; the sound alone is brilliant, much deeper and meaner, with a crisp induction note. Then there's the power increase - these kits really do make a difference - faster throttle response, and I've found myself using a lower gear round town, and fewer revs at high speed and on the motorway. Not sure about fuel economy yet, only fitted the kit Christmas Day, but I'll keep you posted. To anyone thinking of buying one, these kits really do make a big difference.

UPDATE - Just back from seeing in the New Year in Devon, a 400-mile round trip, and my fuel consumption has certainly improved; the trip would usually use two fifty litre tanks of petrol at £43 a tank. This time, I still have a third of a tank left, despite a fair amount of enthusiastic driving along the way. In other words, average fuel consumption has gone from 18.19 to 21.89 Miles Per Gallon, saving me £15 within a week of fitting the kit!

Thanks K&N!!

Dear Sirs,
   I installed your cold air intake system on my 05' supercharged Cobalt, close fit but installed just fine.  It really made a difference in horsepower and now you can really hear the supercharger spin, sounds great!

Thank you for the quality workmanship.

K&N,
     As of this morning, I am totally sold on your FIPK.  I own a 2000 Jeep Wrangler that is mostly stock.  The only engine modification I have done is to change out the air intake system.  I love the sound, but have found it difficult to quantify any real performance increase without taking it in for a dyno check.  That all changed this morning.  On my way into work I was sitting at a particular intersection here in East Orlando.  The road I travel on goes from two lanes to one about a football field length after the light.  Needless to say, it is a site of many drag races to see who will be in front for the single lane.  Time after time I have simply let the car in the right lane (the one that ends) get ahead only to have it stop and wait for a left turn or simply go much slower than I normally drive.  Today I decided to try and stay in the lead since I was the first car in the left lane.  A small black car pulled up next to me and kept inching forward while waiting for the green.  I thought that I recognized it as one of those that always zooms up only to stop for a left turn just after the lane merges.  On the green, I floored the gas and took off.  So did the black car.  My Jeep chirped the tires in 1st , 2nd and I think 3rd as I shifted quickly up to 5th.  The black car could not quit keep up and certainly did not have the power to pass me.  I drove down the road with the satisfaction of being first and not having to stop again for a “left turn bandit”.  I was wrong about the black car though.  It did not turn and stayed on my tail for the next couple of miles until the road ended at the next intersection.  We now had two lanes again, and the black car again pulled up beside me.  I glanced over and the driver had scowl on his face that told me his was “pissed”.  I had my victory and did not wish to be confrontational, so this time I would just let him go.  There were others in front of us this time.  When the light turned green, he was off like a shot and obviously very mad as he darted through traffic and cut off a few to get ahead.  I just laughed.  The thing that really amazed me was the fact that the black car turned out to be a BMW 325.  Not an old beater, but one with the new body style, which meant it could not be more than 2 years old.  My six year old Wrangler “BEAT the pants off” a BMW in a drag race!!

Thanks for a great product,

My first car was a Ford Ranger a few months later I purchased the FIPK kit for it.  I did a few "performance mods" to the Ranger and the FIPK was the only noticeable power gain.  I traded in the Ranger for something a little faster, okay a lot faster; a 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo SS supercharged.  The first thing I did when I got home from the dealership was order the FIPK for it.  The air box in the Monte Carlos' are extremely restrictive to reduce the supercharger whine.  As I expected there was a very noticeable power gain, and of course the supercharger whine.  Another thing that I noticed from both vehicles was the increase throttle response.  To all you concerned about the question "if they're so good why don't they install them from the factory."  Don't worry, because the reason they put the "air box" is to reduce as much noise as possible.  I was researching new cars and dealerships are starting to offer a high flow intakes at a cost of around $450, way more than any FIPK kit.  They are not hard to install at all, they make the whole engine perform better.

I have always used K&N filters in all my cars and motorcycles. I find you pay a little more you get the best. This last sentence is not always true. In K&N's case it happens to be very true.

I won't use any other filters in my new or old cars. I have a 1991 FXR-P that has many miles of hard riding into Mexico where there is not always a paved road. I don't think I would have as many miles on my bike and my el Camino, if it were not for K&N filters. On my el Camino I have over 250,000 miles on my 305 ci engine. I am getting ready to install a new engine in her very soon, she is just feeling her age.

I am moving up to a high performance 350 with a 4 speed automatic. I won't use anything but K&N filters in her also. So if i am still alive in around the year 2029. That's when I will need another K&N filter for the el Camino.

See you in about 22 years for another one for the el Camino.

Thanks for a great product,

K & N Performance

I have a K&N air filter on the Webber carburetor of my 1960 Austin Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite.  The car runs really great sounds nice too.  Two years ago I bought a 2004 Yamaha R1 (one of the greatest sport bikes on the planet).  Great great bike really powerful, I thought.  Just recently my dirty air filter needed replacing so I bought a K&N instead.  I figured a little gain in power would be nice and they last for ever, can' t beat that.  Boy was I ever wrong.  My R1 must have been hibernating the past two years.  I was shocked by the difference in power especially in the low end of the rpm range.  This thing spins the rear tire every time I give it gas.  The difference in acceleration is tremendous.

Thanks K&N for a great product.

Amazing Testimonial

Dear Sirs,

I recently purchased a Civic Hybrid.  I was getting 46 mpg and quite happy with that.  I have been one of your customers for years and installed one of your filters, as is my practice.  I am now regularly getting 50+mpg, almost immediately after installing the filter.  There was a quantum leap in performance…something I a Prius owner thought was rather unusual.

The other point I noted was that I have more dynamic range.  I get better mpg when I have to quickly accelerate. This is important on a 1.3 liter engine.

My car is now getting the same overall mileage as the Prius.  I know this because I compare data with Prius owners.

Thanks,

Charlie Gilmer

MPG Increase I installed my new K&N filter in 45 minutes then went on a 500 plus mile interstate trip. In my F-250 SD Crew Cab 4x4 6.0L Turbo Diesel Harley Davidson I was averaging 15.7 MPG on highway trips, I have an onboard gauge that shows the MPG average all the time. After install on 500 mile trip I jumped to 22.9 MPG. Awesome, I think it paid for itself on that trip. Thanks.

Whoooosh! That pretty much sums up the results of the cold air intake installation on my new 2006 Scion XB.  The installation was easy and took about an hour and I was moving slowly to double-check everything for clearance and proper alignment.  It looks great under the hood, and I know that I have picked up the full 8.1 horsepower boost that the detail sheet said that I would on this car.  It will get rubber in second gear!  Third gear passing power is way up!  And the gas mileage (which was already great) increased by almost four MPG at the time of the last fill up!  I'm running gas mileage in the realm of 40+ MPG!  It is truly hard to believe that the automakers don't use these units on their cars and add $500.00 to $800.00 to the retail sticker!  They're missing out on the full potential of their cars and profit margins.  Oh well, their loss is literally our gain.  Don't hesitate to buy and install a K&N cold air intake on you car.  Compared to the gain in HP and MPG the cost is very minimal.  And the service department was great, too!  Very rare these days to get info from people who actually listen and care.

Many Thanks,

Hello,

I just recently purchased a K&N for my 05 R6, I cannot believe the difference that a high performance air filter makes !!!  You can tell right away that there's a huge response in acceleration and throttle response.  I installed it tonight around 11 o’clock and decided to take a spin real quick to see if there was any difference, that 5 minute ride turned into a hour and a half run.  Words cannot describe the bang for the buck.  I will recommend a K&N to everyone that has a motorcycle.  Thanks for a great product. Thx………

Performance kit for Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

Just finished installing (air intake) kit 57-1513-1.  Simple, about an hour and 10 min.  30 mile test run seems to indicate about 1.3 mpg increase.  Itching for a longer trip.

Ridgeline Testimonial
    Hey, my brother and I just installed your intake for my Honda Ridgeline... I was expecting it to sound cooler and have more horsepower... but the difference we got was literally amazing.

    First off, the intake sound that thing makes is insane!  It took my quiet, mundane little V-6 sound and made transformed it into a deep, loud rumble.  I didn't think my truck /could/ rumble, but now it does.

    Second, the horsepower gain is more than just 'noticeable'.  Getting on the highway and passing the difference in remarkable.  The first few times it caught me by surprise and gave me a decent scare, but now I've just learned to enjoy it.

    Best of all, your instructions were so clear and easy that even inexperienced guys like my brother and I were able to install it in less than an hour.  Keep up the good work!

Another Success Story for K&N...

To the K&N Folks,

After doing some research and reading about all of the positive feedback for your intakes/filters, I decided to buy an intake kit for my 2003 Ford Mustang 3.8L V6.  I installed it out of the box in about an hour.  The step-by-step instructions made it super easy, and maintenance should be a breeze.  Fit and finish were outstanding.  The best part was driving it for the first time after installing the kit.  It was like having another car...the acceleration difference was unbelievable.  From better idling to the instant response from pressing the accelerator, feeling is believing.  You now have another customer for life!  Thanks K&N for the affordable fun and performance!

Great Product

Hello,
    I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with the FIPK (Air Intake) that I got for my 2001 Chevy S-10 (4.3L w/5sp) pickup.  I can feel a big difference in acceleration.  I do mostly mixed driving, but when I get on the highway I need to merge quickly onto busy roads, so I really mash down the accelerator.  Around town I tend to drive in 4th gear at 25-30mph and the intake has made a difference in the way it sounds and I don't feel like I am bogging it down so much.  I have only gone through 1 tank of gas, but in just that tank I have seen a 2.2mpg increase in fuel economy, that includes some hot rodding to experience the difference and impress my friends!!

Thanks,

Update - I have a K&N replacement filter on my '05 Civic Hybrid and it has made a 1.6mpg increase.  On my last long trip I hit 51.1mpg, which was the first time I have broke the 50mpg barrier.

Thank you K&N,
     I recently purchased a Typhoon Series Cold Air Intake for my 2003 Mazda Protege ES 2.0L.  The intake adds immediate throttle response and some horsepower.  It sounds beautiful, you can hear the air zooming through the filter with a nice "whoosh" with a tap of the gas pedal, and was a cinch to install.  Now the "four-banger" Protege is a lot more enjoyable to drive and more fuel efficient.  I am very impressed with the whole kit.  All parts are grade-"A" K&N parts and had no problems with any of them. Thank YOU K&N!

     Oh, and another thing. The service at K&N is TOP OF THE LINE. I purchased the intake kit from an online autoparts store, and upon delivery noticed that a couple of pieces were missing from the package. I contacted the store (wrong!) and was told to send them an e-mail, which I did.  I did not hear from them for a few days, so I decided to just call K&N (which the store told me to do after three days).  Five minutes later I hung up the phone and my parts were on their way.  K&N sent the parts 2-day to a very delighted customer, me.  Thank you!

2005 Magnum
I installed a FIPK on my 2005 Magnum Hemi any my only regret is that I waited so long to do it. The sound is great and so is the performance. The installation went smooth as the instructions were complete and great. My Hemi now sounds like a Hemi should. Thanks K&N for such a great product.

To the People of K & N,

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting two gentlemen who build and work with Formula racing cars. Intrigued in their knowledge and expertise in auto mechanical systems, I asked them if there was anything I can do to increase the horsepower on my vehicles without expensive or extensive engine repairs or adjustments.  They both "highly" recommended K & N filters for my cars.  I went to a local auto parts store and found the same enthusiasm from the sales clerk and store manager who said they both have K & N filters on their cars.  I had to find out for myself after receiving these two endorsements and purchased my first filter on the spot.

I have a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu that I installed the air filter in one week ago.  I can say with confidence, there is a increase in my acceleration power.  I raved to my wife about the increased performance for the past week and purchased an air filter for her 1999 Honda Accord yesterday.  Just finished installing her filter and registering it online.

We haven't driven her car yet with the new filter installed, but I am sure we will both realize the improved performance.  Thank you for your research and development of products to enhance the performance of "everyday" cars.  I know that whatever cars I own in the future, they will have K & N filters installed in them.

Please keep us informed of other performance enhancing products for our cars.


Sincerely,

I can’t compare before-and-after results because I installed a K&N air filter on my Honda CB750 motorcycle as soon as I bought it, based on prior experience with your product.  After 62,000 miles of use it dawned on me that it was time to clean and re-oil the filter, which not surprisingly was REALLY dirty.  I am writing you to say how easy and effective it was to use the K&N Recharger kit to restore the filter to like-new condition.  Because the dirt collects on the “inside” of a filter with a relatively small opening, I was concerned that I might not be successful in thoroughly cleaning it, but the solvent plus garden hose did the trick with no difficulty.  Once dry the aerosol spray easily re-coated the filter prior to reinstallation.  Piece of cake!  Thanks for making the periodic maintenance so foolproof – it’ll encourage me to clean the filter before another 62,000 miles have gone by!

HI,
    Just had my 2006 Toyota X-Runner fitted with the 77 series cold air kit.  WOW!  What a difference!  The acceleration is instantly noticeable and the throaty sound is music to my ears!  Best part was the dealer installed & does Not void the warranty, as a matter of fact my dealer uses your products in the service dept for all the Yota's that come in for service.  All in all I am one happy camper!!  Thanks K&N.

HI,

    My husband and I use K&N air filters in all of our vehicles.  We have been very satisfied with the performance and we tell everybody about them every chance we get.  Keep up the good job.  We appreciate your support of dirt late model racing.  We just went to a Lucas Oil dirt late model race this weekend and saw your sponsorship.  We are big fans of dirt late model racing.  Thanks again and keep up the good work at K&N.

Thanks for a great product.  I just installed a new cold air intake for my brand new 2006 impala SS.  Waited for the product to come out and finally did.  I used K&N products when I was younger and here I am at 44 still using the product.  I was a little nervous messing with my new car but you guys made it so simple with your great directions and pictures.  It looks great. sounds, looks and feels fantastic!  I could not wait to show people that I installed it.  I had to write you guys and tell you thanks for not only a great product but easy to install instructions.

Hi,

I fitted a replacement K&N air filter to my Ford Focus 1.6 and it has shaved around 1 second off my 0-60 time and I now get an extra 5mph on my top speed, as well as decreasing my fuel consumption, I can’t say how pleased I am with the product, BUY ONE NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have already had a testimonial published on your site but wanted to make a further comment now that it has been on my vehicle for 6 months. Keeping an eye on fuel consumption as I always have, before the K&N I was getting between 36 and 42 miles per gallon. On a long journey, I attained 48 mpg and average 45 when combining motorway and city driving conditions.  I had my M.O.T recently and the emissions report showed lower Co2 output than normal on my car.  Not only do I still have extra power in each gear but am attaining Diesel fuel economy in a petrol powered Fiesta.  I don't think the mechanics at the garage believed me!!

Once again, great product and I am still loving the power, fuel economy and efficiency of my K&N assisted engine.

Great results

Hi, My wife was winging about the performance of her Mitsubishi Outlander.  She said it had no power and the fuel consumption was through the roof!  This car has always been serviced by the local dealer through which we brought the vehicle.  So I jumped on the net and searched for any performance stuff for the Outlander when I came upon K&N.  So I purchased a filter.  When I went to install it I found the original filter half blocked with insects and debris.  This should have been changed at 40.000.

I cleaned it all out and fitted the K&N.  WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!  Heaps of power, shifts better , sounds better!! Thanks K&N

WOW!!!!!!!!

WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE K & N SYSTEM HAS MADE!!!!

I have a '97 Jeep Wrangler - 4.0 liter. When we bought it it already had larger tires added and of course with the larger tires come horrible gas mileage. I had heard about K & N for years but never thought it would make much of a difference, man was I wrong!!!

The factory cold-air system had a "trumpet" off of the filter box that had an approximately 1" opening for air to go in, of course the K & N System is OPEN yet filtered.  The moment I started the Jeep after installing it I could hear the air being drawn in through the system. I then took it for it's first test drive and the added power threw me back in the seat.  But what I like best is the gas mileage!!!!  In this area gas prices are hovering around $3.00 a gallon, and with the small gas tank it seemed you were stopping at every gas station to fill up. I haven't actually figured how much it is saving, but I know I can travel much farther between fill-ups!!!

Thanks again for a great product, now all I have to do is save up for a system for my '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee!!!

Installed 1 week and already see a difference

I purchased the E0995 (K&N Air Filter) for my 2001 Ford Winstar about a week ago and I have noticed an increase of about 3.5 miles per gallon of Gas as well and an increase in power when Passing on roads that normally were sluggish in the Passing Zone.  I recommend this small investment to everyone now when I hear them complain of the poor performance their older vehicles are getting.

Just installed a FIPK in my 2006 Nissan Titan and wholly smokes, what a difference it made in the performance. Already have noticed a small increase in gas mileage too, don't know how much, but I'm not putting gas in every other day like I was before the installation.

Great Product, Thanks for the excellent R&D, Dead On..

Just wanted to say Thanks – I am blown away

Just fitted a K&N Air Charger kit : model 63-3053 on my HSV Clubsport – badged as Pontiac GTO in the states I think.  Anyway, wheel spin has never happened so easily.  Power increase was noticeable from the moment I hit the accelerator. Love the kit, well designed, easy to install, although clearance is really tight between engine cover and K&N pipe.  But that because we use a different engine cover on our LS2s here in Australia.

K&N - the only choice !!

HI All,
I've Used K&N for the past 10 years over 2 cars; a Peugeot 405 Mi 16 X4 and SUBARU IMPREZA Turbo 2000.

I will NOT Use any other Filter except K&N.

The reason is this, on the PUG I took it for a drive (std. paper filter) on the local M'way/highway, 80 mph and then released the accelerator, the nose of the car DIVED owing to the lack or air entering the system.

FITTED the K&N (Panel), same piece of road, same test, the car continued on as if nothing happened then SLOWLY began to decelerate NO DIVING !!..Hence the system was breathing a LOT easier. TRY a similar test ? up to you, but I am Happy.

The SUBARU is one of the worlds best rally cars (or was), I changed the panel filter and after what I was expecting it was even more impressive.  MUST ADD.  I found both vehicles to be slightly better on economy as well good improvement on performance !!

IF you want the best from a vehicle sometimes the cone just doesn't work because of inside engine bay temps..YOU need to be able to breath COLD air...so make sure u have the filter sealed in a box with out side air only entering it.. OH and don't try and ram it into the box with having the scoop for it front mounted..will cause more problems than worth..in other words ..THINK A LITTLE SAVE A LOT !!

(MANUFACTURER OF intercooler splitters for Impreza Turbos [retired]).. so I know about breathing mods..;0)

p.s. am now going to try a performance diesel..good job there's a K&N filter for it..!!

Kawasaki ZX10R

Holly Cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have a 2004 ZX10r that I have been riding for 2 years.  Just put 9000 miles on it and thought it would be a good idea to change air filter.  So I ordered the K & N replacement filter and started my machine.  Holly Crap this thing was fast already.  After a few minutes of rough idle I took it for a spin around the block.  I don't know why but bottom end response is so much better!!  107 mph, first gear in under 5 seconds and the sound is unbelievable.  It sounds so throaty I thought I may have installed it wrong but it was right.

Thank you so much for your hard work

Dear K&N,
    The air filter I installed (HA-6088) for my Honda Shadow last week really impressed me.  Not only does it save my fuel consumption but also increased the bike hp.  I like the throttle response a lot now.  Many thanks to K&N again.

For those bikers out there, this is definitely an air filter you shouldn't miss!!!

Thanks,

Jaguar XJ8 1999 WOW!!  All these cars have a SPORT button for higher performance...... after replacing the old filter with a K&N I thought I was driving in SPORT , but I looked down and the button wasn't on !!
P.S. Jag owners don't care about gas($$) mileage.

2002 Ford Taurus

I recently installed one of your K&N air filters in my 2002 Ford Taurus.  Wow what a great air filter, everyone should have one.  As soon as I put it in you could feel the throttle response was better, the engine idles better.  Before I changed to your filter my car averaged 27mpg highway.  My last tank of fuel highway use the car averaged 31mpg.  Great filter, keep up the good r&d.

Dear K&N,

   I have your K&N replacement filter on my 2000 Chevy Silverado Z71 4 wheel drive pickup.  I put in on at 75,000 miles and now have 100,000 on the truck.  I have kept good mileage records and have documented that I get from 1.7 to 2.4 miles per gallon better mileage with the K&N than I did with the stock filter.  At $3.00 a gallon it pays for itself very quickly and then saves you money for the next million miles.  I just wish I had put it in when the truck was new.  I am very satisfied with my K&N purchase and have just ordered the 57-3035 FIPK2 kit for my 2001 Vette.  The 11 horsepower gain you show on your dyno report for my Vette is an outstanding increase for a simple bolt on replacement.  I am sure I will be writing another report soon after getting some seat time in the Vette with the new filter system.

   Thanks for a great product, one that truly lives up to it's advertising.

K&N filter on GMC Sonoma

I have a 1998 GMC Sonoma that I bought about 7 months ago.  When I first started driving it I got about 18 MPG, since I bought a K&N filter 2 months ago I am now getting 21-22 MPG.  I think I am going to buy the intake kit soon.
ITS WORTH IT!

K&N Filter Believer!

I just purchased a 2003 F-250 Super Duty with a 5.4 engine only to find out it got 9 MPG.!!! We use the truck for service adding up lots of miles per month. After reading about your air filter and grumbling about the price I purchased one... Boy are we saving at the pump now!!! 13 MPG! Doesn't seem like a lot to your around town drivers but this truck gets the oil changed every 6 weeks (yes every 3000 miles). Add it up, at the end of the year we saved a lot more than that filter cost. Thank you! Your product is great... but now could you do something about my Motherinlaw?

Dodge Ram1500

I wanted to write you guys and tell you how much I love my K & N filter.  When I purchased the filter it was initially for better performance.  I own a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter V8.  As a new truck it performed poorly and had poor gas mileage.  I would get 375 to 380 miles out of a tank of gas.  With the K& N Generation 2 FIPK I could immediately tell the difference in performance, sound of the motor and most of all better gas mileage (400 to 420 miles).  I do not typically write in to these forums but, I have to let people know how much I love this filter.
