I learned about the KN filter at the place where I get my oil changed.  The guy told me to get a KN filter and you will not need another filter as long as you own the car.  It just happened I had just purchased a new Honda Accord 190 hp 2.4CI.  It was pretty peppy, but nothing like it is now after replacing the factory air filter. It works great. I am an older person 73 + years.  Great investment.

I recently purchased a performance intake for my 08' Silverado 2500HD 6.0L. I was expecting a boost in HP and acceleration, but I wasn't expecting the sound it now makes. It completely changed the sound of my truck. It sounds awesome! I don't have dual exhaust but it literally makes it sound like I do. An opened up rumble sound is the best way I can describe it. I am very pleased with the new intake system.

I own a Volvo 2,4 Turbo. Org. HP was about 196. After installing a K&N filter HP is now about 207. Great sound too. It really makes a difference.

Just installed my k&n filter on my turbo b20z Integra. It replaced the Fujita F5 that was on it and I noticed that the turbo is making boost easier at lower revs thanks to all that air flow.  Also noticed more power in long 5th gear pulls. K&N air filters are the best. Every car I have ever owned was equipped with one. More Air More Power.

I am a college student and every dollar saved means a lot. I installed a K&N air filter in my 2003 Mercury Sable and noticed a HUGE boost in acceleration as well as mpg. I went from around 25 mpg to 30 mpg. This product is great and I can only hope for what else K&N has to offer!!

I have a 2.5 v6 Mercury Cougar, and she's thirsty running at about 19mpg... My trip computer is showing 25 mpg on stop start, and 31mg on a run! I'd just had the car serviced, complaining to the dealer about the MPG, and a £900.00 service later there was some improvement. But when I went to change the 2 month old paper filter it was CAKED in crud... I can't believe such a small and easy fix could give me these excellent results!!!

I just installed the 33-2039 original replacement filter to my Lebaron and wow I feel the response of the turbocharger more quickly and increase 1psi of boost¡¡¡¡ at wot, from 14 psi to 15 psi of boost.  I don`t know that with these small change my car runs a little better, and the fuel consuption was less than the stock air filter....mopar+k&n=lot of fun¡¡¡¡ =)

Intake on the NSX is awesome....definitely made the car feel faster and you can hear the air rushing in at full bore....was well worth the money!!!

Woohoooo!!!!! I just installed a K&N Short Ram Typhoon Kit model# 69-8601 on my 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS and Wow! The installation instructions were great, the color looks awesome inside the engine compartment, very clean looking and the system seats very sturdy using original mounts in the car.

Here is the best part!!!! I have to say that the engine picked up about 14 more horse power. The sound produced by the engine now is so awesome, and the acceleration got so much better. Every time I get a chance now, I accelerate the vehicle almost to red-line just to hear and feel the difference. Too soon to say anything about gas consumption and mileage, but I have to assume it will just get better, after my need for speed goes away, je, je....!!!!!!

Hats Off for K&N!!!!

I noticed an increase in mpg and performance. Drove to Niagara Falls from Detroit Metro area with 13.3 gal of gas;Logged overall 489 miles and got 36.7 mpg! 07 Buick CXL Lurcern 3.8 before K & N filter was 28 mpg ( based on 2007 mpg estimates not the new 2008). Increase of 8 mpg! I know that each situation is different but for me this filter works BIG time! Again, car has more acceleration now than before. I like the sound of all that air rushing into my engine.

I purchased the Typhoon kit for my 03 Toaster (Honda Element) and it is amazing. There is a noticeable difference in throttle response and power. I also love the sound that it produces. One of the best products I have ever bought for my car. Highly recommend.

K&N products are installed on all of our vehicles, both commercial & personal, as well as every engine that leaves our shop. They produce great filters but I sugguest you try some of their other products. One of my favorites is the cold air induction kits. The simplicity of the installation is key but the additional horsepower it gives the motors is incredible. I would know as I live at 6,200' in elevation where the lack of oxygen really shows in acceleration.

My hat's off to the K&N company's team of employees. I have met several of them & have yet to find one that is rough around the edges. They love their jobs and it shows. Each one has great knowledge in their industry & all have been a pleasure to work with. I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with K&N. I think that they all deserve a pat on the back & possibly a raise!!! And with that being said, 'Good luck with that'....

Recently installed a replacement factory air filter for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD 6 cyl.  I was getting about 15 mpg local driving,and around 18-19 mpg highway driving.  I am amazed on the instant power difference I noticed. Now after about a month installed, my mpg is 16-17 local driving and about 22 mpg highway. Though it is rather expensive, the proof is there. I can't believe a replacement filter, two minitues to install could improve performance like that. Keep on making these great filters. :)

I just purchased and install cold air intake P/N69-2521TP.  The look and design is beautiful.  I purchased this design because you can use it as a short ram intake or the full cold air intake.  Just today that choice saved me.  We had just gotten into a nasty thunderstorm and had to stop at a gas station because I had it on as a full cold version.  In less than 5 minutes I was able to put it to the short ram and was back on the road.  I would recommend this intake to any SRT 4 owner over any other.  For the looks, power, sound , and the option of running full cold air or short ram.   You will not find another intake that can offer what this intake can do.  Thanks K&N for a superior product and I will definitely a life long buyer.

I am a first time user of K&N drop in air filters.  I put one in my sluggish 2000 Ford Focus and it completely impressed me.  It responds better and I have already seen a MPG increase.  Great product!

I bought the K&N air filter kit for my 2004 KFX 700 ATV and for my 2005 Ford Excursion. I'm 100% satisfied with the product. It took 2 good performing machines and turned them into 2 beasts. Thank you,

I have used the K&N air and oil filters for several years now with excellent success. My 04 Deville Cadillac was lacking something when pushing the pedal. I threw in a K&N air filter and not only does it breathe much better, the computer picked up on this and it even shifts at a more responsive point. Also I should add that I threw in the highly recommended Torque Master spark plugs to complement the air filter and that was another solid gain - money well spent!

First of all I have to say I'm impressed. I have an 04' F150 Lariat...but with 35 BFG Mud Terrains and 18 rims. I was getting 11.9 mpg and was slow as molasses. I dropped in my K&N and at my best getting 13.5 mpg. What a huge difference for a truck like mine! I can totally tell a difference in accelleration as well. I am completely impressed and it's the best $48 I've spent.

I have installed a K&N air filter in two Jeeps, a Chrysler 300 and recently in a Subaru Forester and gained TWO miles per gallon on each of them. Well worth it.

I put the drop in air filter in my 03 chevy impala LS. With the duals and the filter, that sucker ran more like a V8 than the 3.8L V6 it was. I now have an 07 MONTE CARLO SS and cant wait to do the same. And oh yeah, I put one in my 84 monte carlo too! I've been onboard since 06! CHEERS!

August 7, 2008
I'm not big on feedback, but I have to tell you, I've had two Chevy's with drop in filters, due to no more paper replacements and just better airflow. Now I own a 02 Silverado 2500, 6.0L with some aftermarket goodies stuffed under the hood and of course a K&N filter, but the Gen2 cold air (intake). Believe me, there's just so much better performance, noticed power gain, better fuel MPG and when you lay into the throttle the sound is music to the ears. Thanks for a great product (keep improving the products, I'm loyal like that!)

I have an 08 F150 and I previously only had the K&N drop in filter with flowmasters. Since gas is so high right now, and I'm driving to Texas in a week,  I decided to go with the cold air intake. I have to say I didn't expect much gain from this, since I was already using the drop in filter. When I installed it I was amazed at the results I got and the difference it made. The throttle response has improved by a lot. I get about 2 more mpg's. By far I would recommend this product to anyone.

I installed your filters in all 4 of my cars. The Toyota Camry not only runs smoother but the mileage per gallon is noticeable by at least 3-4 miles better per gallon.  Our mini-van runs better as well and it seems like we can drive an extra day before we have to fill in it up.  Thanks for producing such a fine product.

I used to own a 1999 Dodge Durango. 2 1/2 years ago I purchased a 2000 Toyota 4Runner. When I owned the Durango I would get about 250/tank. The tank was 25/gal. My 4Runner is only 16/gal and I was getting roughly the same gas mileage. I purchased one of K & N's filters at the end of June 2008, and I am now averaging 325/tank. I have to say I am highly impressed with this purchase, instead of filling my gas tank every week, I now fill up every other week. Thank You K & N for this wonderful product.

I am on the highway about 8 hours a week, back and forth to school.  I installed the FIPK2 on my '04 silverado (4.8L, 5 speed, two wheel drive), and gained a very obvious 1 1/2 mpg.  The horse power increase was also felt.  I was very impressed.

I originally installed a K&N replacement filter in my '97 3.8L Camaro for improved performance, which it did accomplish, however I also saw near 2MPG increase.  Before I could count on getting 370 miles per tank on all highway driving, at legal speeds, using cruise control.  I can now get 400 miles per tank for the same driving conditions.  I am getting right at 29 MPG highway.  Gotta love it.

Hi People,
I now have a 1974 Daimler/Jaguar fitted with a ZZ4 S.B.Chevy 350. Like it's predecessors the motor lives and breathes Valvoline and K&N Oil and Air Filters which give their all to the long life and economy of my motors. When my last motor was given a new inlet manifold gasket at 170,000 there was NO sign of sludge at all. I am staying with the best products FULL TIME..NoelinOz.

I just got my K&N for my 1976 chevy el camino today and i just put it in and warmed the car up and wow, when I rev it the 305 sounds like a 350. Can't wait to take it out later to see how it drives.

My wife bought a 2002 Mazda Protege5 new . It has had a noticable pause in power between shifts ever since new , now has 27000 mi. Took back to dealer three times for this with no improvement. Their explanation was the computer did this to soften shifts (130 HP. Ha-Ha). Our son recommended the drop in K&N, he has one in a 07 Maxima. I put one in the Mazda and immediately noticed the hesitation was completely gone plus the acceleration is greatly improved, she now gets about 415 mi. to a tank, before she was averaging 380. Did not tell my wife what I had done so I could see if she noticed, she did. The first time she used her car she called me excited and said her car had stopped stumbling, then I told her what I did. Thanks K&N.

This is the 4th vehicle I have installed the 77 series kit on (2004 Suburban). Even mom going to the grocery store can impress the fans when she steps on the gas. And believe me, she ain't shy about it.

I recently bought a universal air filter for my '95 SAAB 9000cs. And I was instantly impressed! I had to do a few small intake adjustments to get the huge thing to fit. but, I never had a warranty on the car anyway. I have around a 20bhp difference! It's outstanding! You can really tell it's a turbo now! And my Blow off valve blasts louder than any I've ever heard!
Thanks for making such an outstanding product!

I love this product. I gained horsepower, but most of all gained gas mileage. You have a true believer here and I strongly recommend it to everyone I know. I drive a 2005 Nissan Titan. It was already kind of an animal but now whew. Keep up the good work guys.

I recently purchased the 77 series air intake for my 05 F150 and I will admit, I was skeptical, but after a 900 mile road trip the next day, I clocked my mileage and it really does everything you hear about or read about.  I get about 160 miles more on a full tank of gas on the highway which means a lot these days with a 30 gallon tank.  Installation took about 45 minutes with minimal tools, I recommend one of these to anyone that wants to save money at the gas station.

I recently put a FIPK Generation 2 intake in my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and I am completely satisfied with this product. The intake gave me a power gain that was very noticable, and also a nice noise under the hood (really good supercharger whine!!!) I completely support this product and all other K&N products, it is the only way to go.

This intake kit is the best addition I've made to my truck.  I have a '97 F-150 4.6L that I just installed a 57 series air intake kit on.  Not only does it sound great, and improve throttle response, it improved my highway MPG from 17 to 22!  Power when you need it, fuel economy when you don't.

Hi,
I bought a replacement filter today for my Hyundai Santro. Instantly I could feel the difference in the pickup at lower rpms. I guess K & N Delivers what they promise. I will also buy a K&N Universal replacement filter for my bikes now, Ind-Suzuki & Suzuki Fiero.

Thanks K & N and hope you continue the good work.

Thanks & Regards

I own a Honda Cr-v and it was stock, lacking that extra power that an 18 year old young man like myself wants in his ride. Baseline for my SUV, considering it only has a 2.0 litre 4 cyl. was probably about 120hp. After I dropped in a k&n panel filter I saw a decent gain in power, acceleration and smoothness. That was all fine and dandy but when I took it one step higher and put in a new metal intake system and toped it off with a K&N cone filter I saw a power increase of nearly 20hp. a LARGE increase in acceleration, and not to mention my little 4X4 Honda 4 cyl. sounds like a Z71 chevy V8. I cleaned the throttle body out, and that completes my intake modification. I would recommend K&N to anybody who cares about their ride. Thank you K&N, you rock.

I have a 1990 Cadillac Seville 4.5L (273 cu.in.) V-8. I was getting 16/17 m.p.g.in town. Now with the K&N I am getting 21/22 m.p.g. in town and city. And I am getting over 30 m.p.g.on the freeway. I also can feel much more power when I need to pass. I am now planning to get a K&N cold air intake for my 1988 Mustang GT convertible. I am sure to get much better gas milage. Also more passing power. The K&N air filter has got to be the best air cleaner of all time. Like you at K&N say it is the world's best air filter.

Just installed a K&N Filter in my 2009 2.4L Pontiac Vibe GT and immediately saw a greatly improved take off in first and second gear. Car could barely pull itself out of first gear without revving the motor, now it will pull out of second with only a slight push of the gas pedal.

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 litre engine. I have performed 2 simple cheap modifications that turned out to make a large difference in fuel economy.

At my last air filter change, Instead of the $8 paper filter, I installed a K&N replacement. Cost $51 (plus $20 per for a cleaning kit.) The K&N filter is a 1,000,000 mile filter that needs 50,000 mile cleanings. (may need more cleanings in dusty conditions)  Fuel economy improvement 10%.

At my last oil change I switched to synthetic oil. I had been using Walmart's store brand Tech 2000 5W30 petroleum oil. This time I used the same Walmart store brand Tech 2000 5W30, but I bought the synthetic oil. Cost per oil change, an additional $14. Fuel economy improvement 20%.

I am now averaging 20.5 MPG with a mix of city and highway driving.

These filters kick butt. I put an air filter (not CAI, just the drop-in type) in our Mazda MPV (a van) and it actually has the Zoom-Zoom that silly Mazda tagline promoted! Nice boost of HP!

Since that one did so well, I decided to put one in my Acura RL. The car already had power, but it seemed to lack the smooth acceleration from low-end to high-end I expected when it got broken in. I removed the filter, dropped the K&N filter in, and it now has the smooth power I had expected. Not a big HP jump, but the smoothness is much improved.

Car manufacturers should use them!

I knew K&N from racing.  I have a 1995 Dodge full size passenger van, 360ci, 355 rear end.  It now has 195,000 miles on it.  From the beginning, after the paper filter had been in it a short time I noticed it would ping under certain load conditions in the hot Oklahoma and Texas summers.  It appeared clean. I'd put a new paper one in and the ping would be gone for a few thousand miles.  I finally installed a K&N at 40,000 mi.  155,000 miles later, never had another ping.  Yes, I have cleaned it a few times.  I now have a K&N in my '05 Chrysler Minivan, '88 Lincoln, the above, '73 Corvette, and '72 Monte Carlo.  Soon my new motorcycle will have one.

I'm more and more impressed with the air filter every day and I absolutely love it. Being a member of the military I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world and my truck, a 1997 Chevy Tahoe 4dr 5.7L, goes with me wherever I go. My passion is off roading and generally driving anywhere there isn't an ounce of pavement and my K & N has never missed a beat in performance or reliability and has payed for itself within months. Thanks for a great product and I look forward to more developments.

This thing rocks!  I have been a K&N customer for 5 years now, using them in every car I own.  I have since upgraded to a 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro and purchased one for it.  A considerable difference in performance and fuel comsumption.  And they are so easy to clean for reuse, it pays for itself in months.  Awesome!

The filter in the car (when I bought it) was brand new.  I felt that the engine was a little slow on response when I pressed on the gas pedal, even when it was already revving.  I thought that this was normal as I hadn't had the car for very long.  With the K&N filter and without a doubt, the engine revs up much more freely.  It's amazing how getting more air into the engine literally breathes new life into it!  An of course, there is that little improvement in the sound of the engine as well.Thanks to K & N for saving the life of my carrrrrrrrrrr

Again, I'm not sure (yet) about any mileage increase, but will write back and repost after a few tanks have been used.  So far, very impressed!  The Zoom-Zoom is back!  
I will do more advertisment on your product.

We just bought a 2008 Jeep Commander with the V6 engine. We knew the mpg would not be good but needed a larger vehicle for our growing family. The Jeep was getting 12-14 city and 17-19 hwy. After installing the filter were getting around 14-15 city & 22-25 hwy. It works!
