I have been working for NAPA Auto Parts for nearly five years. When we first started carrying your line of products I immediately put a filter on all my vehicles figuring they would pay themselves off by cleaning them. After purchasing my new 2002 Silverado I decided to upgrade to the FIPK. This kit is awesome and it gives me a change to really support a product that I enjoy selling to people. Bringing people out to my truck to show them I actually have the product I am trying to sell them is awesome and when they hear me kick the throttle and the intake takes that big gulp of air they are sold as was I. Great product and I will continue to be a proud owner of a K&N fipk kit.

Dear K&N,
A week ago I fitted my 1979 Fiat 128 with a universal clamp-on-K&N filter, and WOW. The car roars under acceleration like never before, and the acceleration and throttle response. The car just leaps when I hit the gas pedal. I haven't yet checked the fuel consumption, but I haven't turned on the stereo since I installed it cos I just love to hear that roar, K&N THANK YOU:)
keep up the good work ..

Great Product
I purchased a complete K & N Kit last week for my 2004 Dodge Ram 5.7 V8 Hemi and man...this is just great. I have a NOTICEABLE power increase as well as a great sound under the hood. This is what the HEMI is supposed to be like. I have told all my friends that they should consider this upgrade. I also have noticed an increase in my gas mileage as well. Thank you K & N !!!

I recently purchased a K&N FIPK for my 2003 Ford 150 4x4, with a 5.4L engine. I have already noticed a huge performance difference, plus getting 2 miles to the gallon more on the highway at 70mph. The throaty sound when you put your foot into is also really nice. The FIPK along with the Cat-Back System I installed really made a noticeable difference. Great filter system!!!

Thank you for a great well engineered product. I just installed the short ram system on my Celica GT-S. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. Every thing fit perfectly. The increase in performance and sound was immediately evident. I am very pleased and would recommend this intake system as a first step in performance improvement to any enthusiast.

Approximately four weeks ago we purchased K&N filters for our 1999 Nissan Frontier SE 4X4 V6 and 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon 2.5L. The filters were purchased primarily to improve our gas mileage. We had the mindset that more horsepower and torque would equal better gas mileage. Your site does not support this thinking. But we did end with something else!! Read on.
My wife's Nissan was the first vehicle to receive the K&N "treatment". Her filter had not been replaced in a year and was in dire need. I figured if your filters are as good as you and everyone else says, she would notice a difference. I drove back to the house from the auto parts store in her truck with the filter in, but did not notice a difference. She drove soon after on an errand and noticed an improvement pulling out of the driveway! She stated "It has more pickup!". She kept repeating that on our trip. She still mentions it, frequently when she comes home from work or errands. Her gas mileage has consistently been 18 mpg in combined city and highway speed driving. My Subaru became a changed car after I replaced the "new" air filter the dealer had put in only 4000 miles before. It was pretty well shot when I took it out. We took a 300 mile highway trip the next day in this car. Running at 65 - 75 for most of that trip, the Subaru returned a respectable 27 mpg for the entire trip. The K&N filter has changed the throttle response and overall performance of this car. On this trip, with the A/C on, this 4 cylinder would ACCELERATE up hill on the cruise control. I would have to tap the brake from getting too close to other cars that were "struggling" up the same hill. We have also taken two more long trips with the car in past weeks and the same mileage and power are there. In my daily driving I enjoy the broader torque, thank god I bought this car with a 5 speed, and power curves. I have seen the gas mileage on the Subaru return to the levels it is EPA rated. I have been consistently getting 24 mpg in "city" driving, and the 27 mpg on those highway trips. I guess what I am trying to say in all of this is that my wife and I both love the way our cars perform with the K&N filters in our stock intakes. For us it is a economical and appropriate for our needs. As well it saved me $300 for a cold air intake from a company that does not have your reputation for quality and performance. We are converted and I plan to replace the filter in ANY new car that we purchase right after we get it home:) with a K&N. Thanks for a great product!

I recently purchased one of your FIPK Generation II kits for my 2004 4.8L GMC Sierra and have seen good improvements. Before I was averaging 19mpg on the highway and 17mpg in town. Now I'm consistently averaging 22 on the highway and 19 in town. And the deep throatie sound makes the kit worth while by itself.....Great product!!!!

My filter results!
I just installed a K&N air filter into my '91 BMW 325iX and I've noticed a little more power that I can actually feel! I've also gone from 22 MPG to 25 in the city! I was skeptical about the gains until I tried it. K&N works great! Thanks for such a great product!

Dear Readers
I purchased my K/N filter before we left on our trip to Maine. I have a 2002 Kountry Star 38 ft. motor home.
I was only getting 6.5 to7.1 MPG. After the first tank of gas with the K/N filter I received 8.1MPG. The engine is the 8.1Vortec. I also had more horsepower. When going up steep grades it only downshifted from overdrive to fourth, it was great. Thank you K/N for more horses and better mileage.

I just wanted to let you know that I purchased a K&N filter to fit my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had heard that with your filters and added air flow I could increase my gas mileage. Well since I installed the filter I went from 18 mpg to 22 in day to day driving and from 26 mpg to 30 mpg on long highway driving... I realize that individual results will vary from person to person, but I thought I would pass this along to you.... I purchased another filter for my 2003 Dodge Dakota pickup, I will advise you when I get the results.
thanks

WOW what a difference. I purchased a K&N air filter after repeated conversations with one of my friends. I have a 2004, GMC, Sierra, 4X4, crew cab, long bed, with a 8.1 vortex that was only averaging 8.5 MPG, mixed driving. After installing the K&N air filter a week ago I'm now averaging 10.2 MPG and that all in town. I have run the numbers on this product and it will pay for its sell in less than 4 fill ups. I'm a believer now and I'm sharing this story with all my friends and family. Thanks K&N.

The car: 1998 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L.
I recently added the K&N FIPK II to my 98 GT. The product looks much better than the stocker under the hood and gave it that performance look. Right away I noticed a definite increase in throttle response and a bit more oats for my pony. Nice gains and great product. I am a K&N fan for life. I had a filter in my 95 V-6 Mustang, an 82 Mustang GT and an 83 Mustang 2.3l.

Dear Sirs,
I am the owner of a BMW R1150RT, this morning I changed my air filter, more of a "maybe it helps" sort of idea. On my drive home I was flabbergasted by the difference. Acceleration response and top end power was really noticeable. I really wish I could explain this in a way your customers could understand. All I can say is try it and you will be REALLY surprised.
Your very happy customer

I just bought a k&n FIPK generation 2 intake kit for my 1997 Dodge Ram. The installation went great. It took me about two hours to install the product due to some modifications I had to do to the heat shields because I have a three inch lift on the truck which offset the heat shield and the tubing. Other than that the acceleration is great and I can now peel out and make some smoke with my 285's which really wowed me. Thanks for the great product,

I got my K&N just a couple days ago for my 04 Suzuki SV650 and all I can say is it is worth every penny! The increase in performance and responsiveness is simply incredible for such a low-cost component. I've read public websites who have tried the K&N filters and reported power increases that you would normally see after replacing an exhaust, or something similarly expensive. I was slightly skeptical that an air filter could do so much, but now I am a believer! Thanks for a fantastic product!

I own a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 4X4 and my fuel mileage increased by 3MPG (from 14.6 to 17.6) with the installation of your stock replacement filter. Amazing! I cannot brag about your products enough and I recommend them to all Chevrolet/GMC truck/SUV owners due to excellent results that I received. Thank you for the efficiency and power.

I ride my small Enduro XR 200 R Honda motorcycle in altitudes that go from 4200 to 9000 ft in the sierra of Chihuahua México and specially when the weather is cold and humid the engine misfires because of so rich jetting that going up the very steep roads making the ride painful and changing the jetting on an old model ( 1985 ) is a problem here in México, so I changed the foam filter and installed the HA-2584 air filter and MAGIC ¡¡¡ AMAZING PERFORMANCE , not a single misfire , the exhaust pipe just a tan color and no carbon on my finger tip, the spark plug no carbon deposit, the ceramic tip white after 1600 miles of dirt riding.
Thank you for your excellent product.

Just wanted to say thanks for such a great product. I have a '94 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a 3.9L V6 that was averaging about 19 mpg. After installing your FIPK kit, a high-performance muffler, and switching from the engine-mounted cooling fan to a radiator-mounted electric, I now get 23 mpg. Not to mention the AWESOME sound the FIPK kit makes.

K&N FIPK GEN II 2000 Dakota 4.7
This has to be the one performance accessory that does exactly what the charts and the reviews say it does. I didn't want the constant loudness or expense of exhaust but wanted a little extra beef in the horsepower and a more throaty sound. The intake gave me everything I wanted just when I wanted it. At idle speed I can't even hear it, which is what I wanted. But from about 2.5k - 4kRPM the difference can't be ignored. The growl resonates and you feel the extra performance through the thick of the power band. The newly found responsiveness in the gas pedal gets you there really fast too. I'm waiting on gas mileage results. However, its been real hard keeping my foot out of it. I think I might have a new bad habit.
I thank K&N for backing up the advertisements with a good product. Even though it was probably the product that created the advertisements. You just don't see that anymore.

Please understand; never in my 52 years have I written any manufacturer to sing the praises of anything. However...I have no idea when you last manufactured a replacement filter for the Yamaha RD400, but I've been riding these smelly little two-stroke wonders since I was a kid. Having fairly recently acquired yet another RD, and once again having begun the never-ending process of building the perfect one, I found, bid on, and won, your part number YA-1200, for the sum of twenty-six bucks on E-Bay. I'd read about your products on some bike site or another, and was disappointed to find that you didn't currently manufacture an OEM part to fit my bike. Given all the glowing testimonials, (which honestly I felt hard to swallow) I thought I should at least try one. So I was pleased to find one, and earlier this evening replaced a brand new factory Yamaha filter with your probably ancient part. A matter of five minutes, two bolts and a couple of thumbscrews. Never before have twenty-six bucks and five minutes of non-work yielded such obvious returns. Really! I just blasted around Chicago's North Side for about an hour and a half, and was summarily impressed. Wider powerband, better low end and midrange, and I was able to wind the damn thing right past eight and a half grand accelerating onto Lake Shore Drive for the first time since I bought it. And I lost the two-stroke surge, (well, most of it anyway) without even touching the air-screws. Jeez, I can't wait to actually tune it. Honestly, short of expansion chambers and re-jetting, a much bigger investment in time, money, and energy, your filter has quickly proven itself to be the most worthwhile single addition to an RD I've ever made. Now you'll have to excuse me, as I'm going to hit the streets again. Just to prove to myself I didn't imagine all this, and that a properly designed and engineered air filter can make such a dramatic improvement in the performance of a thirty-year old two-stroke motorcycle that I haven't even tuned-up yet.

Hi I've fitted a K&N element to my Suzuki DRZ 400 Trail bike and noticed an improved throttle response and found because the bike is used off road the filter can handle the mud and water much better than the standard filter.

The results.... Just wanted to share my experience with K&N.
I keep track of fuel spending because I regularly commute 70 miles one way to work. I am driving a 2003 Chevy Impala, and installed a K&N filter in January of this year.
Here are the results.
26.38282437 Average Mileage PRE-filter change
29.36066422 Average mileage POST-Filter Change.
An increase of 11.28%!
Figuring I have driven 25,500 so far this year, with average gas prices of $1.75, the filter has saved me almost $175. It has truly been worth every penny of the purchase price.
Thanks, K&N!
Yours is truly a product that lives up to the hype.

Dear K&N,
I have a 2004 F150 FX4 with the 5.4L Triton v-8. When I 1st got the truck I put a dual exhaust on it and aside from the sound, I didn't get a whole lot. Now about 2 weeks ago I went ahead and got a chip and programmed it into the computer. the results were amazing! I couldn't believe the power I got from it. Having that said, I didn't really think I could get much more power out of it, but since I had a K&N intake on my 98 V-6 Mustang and it worked wonders on power, I thought I would try it on my truck so I got the 63-1089 complete intake kit. The instructions were awesome! No problem following them! It took me about an hour and a half to install the whole thing. So when I was done I fired it up and went "holy crap is that me!? It growled something fierce! When I hit the gas it just ROARS! and even though I had the chip and the exhaust, it still gave me power I could feel! My shifting is harder and low end torque is amazing! It literally chirps the tires when shifting! I haven't done the gas mileage check on it yet but if it improves the 12 I get now, you bet ill be one happy K&N customer! Not to mention it really makes my engine look less clustered and more powerful with that big a** air filter screamin' out at you!

Just installed a KN Intake on my 02 Ford Lightning...WOW I can't believe the difference in performance. I have the dual KN on my 03 Vette which was installed mostly for looks and sound. This was installed at the same time as an after market exhaust system so I really didn't get the full effect in performance. Even though I wasn't thinking about gas mileage the Vette gets a little over 30 MPG on the road at 80-85 MPH. The truck performance is a different story, I was advised incorrectly that unless I chipped it I would not be able to tell the difference with an air intake. Not true there is a very distinct improvement in low end performance and the super charger sounds awesome with the intake. Don't know the improvement in gas mileage yet but I can sure use help the truck gets 12 on a good day.

I fitted a k&n panel filter in my Peugeot 206 1.4 XR (2001). The difference in power is slightly noticeable, but the car picks up better after shifting, torque has improved too! Not needing another filter again is a big plus too! Worth every cent is my opinion! Together with the other small modifications I made to the car, it runs much better as stock!
Thanks k&n for this great product!

Sirs:
I bought a 2002 Camaro with a 3800 V6 about a month ago and two weeks ago I decided to add a K&N air intake kit just to add a little more performance along with a muffler (system) with dual outlet pipes and the first thing I noticed was a increase in the air intake accompanied by increases in performance and an increase in gas mileage from 22 to 25 mpg with mixed driving. I really believe this is one addition to my car that will pay me back in performance and economy. Thanks for a great product.

Dear K&N,
WOW! What a difference. I have a 2002 Honda ACE shadow and bought one of your filters. I was going on a long trip and wanted to test the filter. Well, I'm back from my trip and after about 5,500 km. All I can say, is my bike has NEVER ran as good as it did on my trip. Now I'll telling all my friends to try the filter on their bikes.
Thanks again

I installed one of your filters on my 4.8 2000 Sierra when it was a year old and the difference was remarkable but what sold me on its worth was getting stuck in mud up to its doors and inhaling a large amount of mud, the filter stood up to all the mud caked in it and did not allow any to enter the engine, I drove the truck home 40 miles before I could clean the filter and in my opinion the filter saved my engine.
PS - this was in the jersey pine barrens which has sand laced mud

Great Filter!
Dear Sirs,
I installed a K&N filter in my 2002 Cavalier Z24 about 6 months ago, and I have seen a definite improvement in around town gas mileage. I was getting 22mpg but now I am getting around 25mpg since installing the filter. The cars ran really good before the installation but I have noticed a definite improvement in torque and power. Plus, the filter creates a cool sounding intake "roar" under acceleration and now the car has the sound to match the looks. You have sold me on being a lifelong customer and I will be purchasing your filters for every car I own in the future. Keep up the good work!

FIPK Performance - I am on my second 92-95 Honda Civic with a 1.5L non-VETC, and I just wanted to let you know that of all the performance mods that I have done on my cars, my K&N has been the greatest investment I could ever make. With 146,000 miles on the latest car when I bought it, I installed my kit right away. The absolute power that it generates was unbelievable. Within one week I put on nearly 1,500 miles getting around 35 under extreme conditions and more than that when my foot stays out of the gas. I love the feel and the sound of the filter so much that my wife now has one on her 92 Toyota 4x4.
Thank you,

Hey,
I drive a Holden Commodore S pack Ute powered by a 3.8 Ecotec V6. Fitting the K&N filter has improved power, accelerator responsiveness and now gives a crisper note. I didn't write this to sell K&N products instead just to tell it how it is. I would recommend and do recommend putting these filters in your engines as they have worked for me. It would have to be the cheapest "mod" that actually gives results. I could keep writing but will run out of space.

I would just like to drop you a line on my experience on K&N Filters. We currently own a 2004 Honda Pilot and get 22 mpg on the highway. I decided to try you product and see if we could perhaps pick up 1 mpg as gas prices are on the rise. I installed my filter and had taken a trip from Raleigh, NC to Virginia Beach, Virginia. With the AC on, 4 people in the car which is 4400 lbs empty we got 26 MPG. I am going to purchase a filter for my other car which is a 98 Honda Accord EX.

Just installed your air filter in my Porsche Carrera 4 having used your product in my Honda. Immediately, I felt and heard the difference in the distinct Porsche "growl".....much smoother and the acceleration seems to be "tweaked". Will update with the fuel economy results. By the way, I get 825km's/ 515 miles per tank on the Honda ( V-Tech).

FIPK Tacoma 2.7
If I'd have listened to the advise of many, I'd have never purchased the FIPK. Everyone told me that it didn't make a difference. Well, I didn't have a dyno test or anything, but I definitely feel a "seat of the pants" difference. My acceleration is more responsive, it's seems to get up and go quicker and of course there's the awesome sound. Thanks, I think I made the right choice.
NOTE - K&N testing on the FIPK for the 2000-2003 2.7L Tacoma shows more than a 6 HP gain. See product information page.

WOW WHAT A IMPROVEMENT
I have a 1996 GMC Yukon with 147,000 miles, needless to say the motor was a bit sluggish in acceleration and power. I talked to the guys at truck fest and they told me about the FIPK's. Yesterday I purchased my kit and installed it this morning {it was quick and easy}. After the test drive I was completely amazed by the gain in power and acceleration. I am so impressed with revitalization in my motor. It's running better than new. Kudos to K&N. I will truly recommend this kit to everyone.
UPDATE - Just to let you know I got an improvement of 3.3 miles to the gallon around town. We can't wait for our fourth of July trip to Idaho so we can see what kind of improvement we get on the highway.
Thanks,

I received my K&N Filter today after ordering from your website and couldn't wait to install it in my 1994 Suzuki Katana GSX 600. The filter came with special plate that made installing the filter super easy. Also it came with different rubber inserts for rejetted carburetors, truly superior engineering. Now the horsepower gain truly shocked me!!! My motorcycle is now truly FAST. Thank you very much for your intelligent engineering and best horsepower gain for the buck.

TODAY I PURCHASED A K&N REPLACEMENT AIR FILTER FOR MY 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. I WAS ONLY GETTING 12.1 MPG WITH THE STOCK AIR FILTER. AFTER PUTTING IN THE K&N FILTER, AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, MY FUEL MILEAGE WENT UP TO 15.7 MPG HWY. ALL I CAN SAY IS, THANK YOU. THE $55.00 WAS WELL SPENT AND YOUR FILTER WILL MORE THAN PAY FOR ITSELF WITH GAS PRICES SO HIGH. K&N FILTERS ARE EVERYTHING THEY ARE ADVERTISED TO BE.

I just bought a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab Hemi 5.7 and I immediately went to my local accessory guy to buy a K&N filter. He talked me into installing a FIPK because of better gas mileage and higher horsepower. When I picked it up and drove away, it became apparent quickly that he forgot to tell me about the big change. Oh my gosh, the engine roars. I'm a 41 year old woman and having a loud truck like the kids is not what I expected. I will tell you though, over the last few days I have been having a blast acting like a teenager driving a hot rod. The acceleration is amazing and the sound gets your heart pumping. Just goes to prove, you're never to old to drive a big bad ass truck.

You guys are awesome! K&N has grown into a huge enterprise, yet you still understand the meaning of customer service. I contacted you about an air filter (I need two) for my '04 Chrysler Crossfire. Instead of telling me you didn't have a product, you took my email address and now have advised that your product is available.
You guys are the greatest and maybe that is why I have three FIPK's (Dakota R/T, Viper R/T, and 4.7 Dakota V8).
Thanks again, I will order the filters for my Crossfire immediately.

One Happy Customer!!!!!!!!!
Just had to drop you a note regarding your FIPK Genll package that I installed on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma with the 3.4 l V-6. The truck's gas mileage was terrible and it had a noticeable lag upon acceleration. After having the truck checked by my dealer, I was informed that nothing was wrong and all settings were within factory specs. My previous truck, a 1994 GMC 1/2 ton Z-71 with a 350 was my first vehicle to take advantage of your fine products. I installed a drop in filter and immediately recorded 80 more kilometers to a tank of gas. Power and throttle response was unbelievable.
After researching your air intake kits on your website, I had my local supplier bring one in for me for my Tacoma. The instructions were very straightforward and having pictures at various points of the instruction sheet made the installation a breeze. When I first started the truck, I noticed that it was idling about a 100 rpm less than normal. The lag that I had experienced upon even slight acceleration had completely disappeared. I then thought that there was no time like the present to really give the truck a chance to show what she could do. I got away from traffic and decided to go onto the freeway. As I was pulling onto the entrance ramp, I really put my foot into it and WOW!!!!!! There was a road crew working on the side of the road and everyone of them just about broke their necks trying to see what was making that unbelievable sound. The tires chirped from 1st to 2nd and then again from 2nd to 3rd!!! This has never happened before and the best part was the sound coming from under the hood. You would swear there was a big block in this little truck. I am a 50 yr old retired firefighter and I felt like I was 19 again.
You have a great product that definitely lives up to all the claims that I have heard about it. Thanks again for making me feel like a kid again.

I have been using K&N products in my cars since I first put one of your air filters on my '97 Mustang and noticed an instant seat-of-the-pants improvement in acceleration and a fuel mileage improvement of about 25 miles per tank. I now use both K&N air filters and oil filters on my '99 Mustang and an air filter on my girlfriends '02 Maxima. The filters also need to be "charged", so I keep a filtercharger (cleaning) kit handy. I have already broken even from not replacing the paper filters on both cars. The durability and quality of your products is legendary, but is also evident to anyone who cares to take more than a casual glance at the craftsmanship of your goods. Keep makin' 'em in the USA, and I will keep buying 'em! I am a customer for life!

Great Products. I installed the FIPK on my 92 Stealth a while back and am very pleased with the results. It pulls much harder and I love the hissing noise from under the hood. You can hear the power! Thanks.

Hi There,
You should know I am not easily impressed nor do I write complimentary notes very often but I feel that your products have definitely proven themselves.
I recently purchased a 1983 Toyota 4x4 Pick-up for my son and I to trek into the hills with. It is in good shape and runs really well. It did, however, lack power up long grades. Through the Tejon Pass the best we could manage was 55mph in third gear (winding high).
After installing one of your air filter elements it's like a different truck! All of a sudden we're climbing the same grade at 60-65 mph in forth gear and running cooler to beat! Mileage is up around 10% and the little thing just wants to run! This with no other modifications or tuning. The filter it replaced had only 1000 miles on it.
It isn't often that a product works much better than one is led to believe by the advertising and hype. I compliment you and your engineering and assure you that every vehicle I own will have your products in them just as soon as I can buy them!
Thank you VERY much,

My first experience with K&N was a filter on my 1990 Porsche Carrera 4. It was new then and I was a chronic participant in both Road-Race-Tracks and Autocross. I installed the K&N Filter on the suggestion of a fellow driver and the results were immediately noticeable. This incredible machine accepted the filter as if it were OEM. I proceeded to the regional championship in autocross for 2 years.
I now own a 2002 Mini Cooper S. This afternoon I installed a K&N Typhoon Air handling system and once again, the difference was immediate and very noticeable.
I am a tried and true K&N user and fan, as proven over the years. It's a bit mind blowing to get this much improvement from a reasonably priced product.
Thanks K&N for making my driving experience better than it already was.

Dear K&N,
There are three cars in my driveway that have K&n high-performance air-filters ( they are also the ONLY three cars in the driveway). The first car to get it was the 1999 Chevy Suburban K1500. It made a big difference with the overall torque. It also made up for the gas mileage with the big 5.7L vortec! Since that had such a great effect on the truck, I then put it on my 1985 Honda Accord 3-bbl. I always hated the carburetor in that car, but ever since I put it in the car, it made up for the slow pick-up, and just the other day, I beat a 2000 jeep liberty with my little Inline 4 engine. The other difference I really liked is the Clear Crisp sound. I put a 4 1/2" cherry muffler on it, and ever since the K&N, everyone hears me coming from a half a mile away!!! After the HUGE difference on that car, I installed one on the 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3800-V6. It gave it better over-all torque, even though that car didn't need any help in that department. I was greatly surprised. I don't know about gas mileage yet on this one, but it helped the other two pretty good.
IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT IS SKEPTICAL ABOUT K&N, I HOPE THIS CONVINCES YOU, IF NOT GO BUY ONE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! THIS WAS THE BEST $$45.99 I SPENT ON THESE CARS YET!

K&N Filters on all our cars
I have been using K&N Air Filters on my Harley Davidson's for years. I just put a K&N FIPK on my 2002 Toyota Tacoma and noticed an increase in performance across the power band and the sound when I floor it is incredible. Have not gassed it up yet but I am hoping to see the gas mileage go up. Looks great under the hood too.
I also purchased regular K&N Air Filters for my Wife's 2002 VW Passat and my Daughter's Dodge Neon. Both report noticeable performance improvements and increased gas mileage.
If you don't have K&N's in your vehicles you are not getting the most out of your engine and driving pleasure. These filters will pay for themselves, I'm a believer.
Adios,

I have a 2003 Ford F250 on 8 inches of lift and awesome 38 tires. I just had a custom paint job and an aftermarket hood placed on it. At that time I had a K&N air intake system installed. And WOW that system did a lot to this truck. Lets put it this way I can turn all the tires in this 4x4.
