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!

We have an '82 Chevy Cavalier 4WD with an 1800cc, pushrod, 4 cylinder, 4 speed stick, totally stock with a duel jet 2 barrel carburetor. It has no computers, it weighs 2000 lbs. This is the most remarkable car that I have ever owned. It had a stock air filter in it & I averaged 45-48 mpg, but June 30th, I put in your K&N air filter & on a trip I got 51-53 mpg. From here, Logan, New Mexico is nearly 300 miles; it took 5.585 gallons to go the distance that is 51.282051 mpg. I'd say that your K&N is not only great on performance but also on economy, perhaps you can share this with your people as another way to save $ at the pump.

Wow, it has been only a few days since I got my drop in filter for my Grand Am GT, but I see a big difference in acceleration. This was noticeable almost right away. When I really hit the gas it is incredible, and the car has a little bit more of a growl when I do this. At just about any speed it seems to go with much more ease than with my regular throw away filter. I will never buy anything else than K&N products. I am telling all my friends and anybody I can about these filters. No matter what type of car, van, truck you drive, you will see a change in performance. Thank you , I LOVE this product!!!

Every gas powered thing I own gets one of your air filters, as long as there is one for them. I put a K&N cold air intake on my Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged and what a differance, not just in gas milleage but also in performance. For me there is only one K&N. Thanks for the GREAT products.

Recently installed a K&N E-2427 on Integra GS-R. I had a stage one cams (Skunk2) and 2 1/4 piping to stock muffler. Before the K&N... I was getting about 25 mpg max (all freeway). Now, I am getting a whopping 35 mpg! Timing advanced to 14 degrees. Couldn't believe it! This is not a joke.

I never believed these testimonials. Thought they were sales pitch. I was desperate to save money on gas so I went ahead and replaced my paper filter with a k&n in my 2000 4runner. I was absolutely surprised by the gain in mileage on a tank of gas. I could literally hear my engine sucking fresh air as if there was no filter. I was pulling 160 to 180 miles on my usual habits. Now I am pulling 200 to 230 miles before heading for the pump. My exhaust was beefier and I found I didn't need to floor the gas pedal to pass. My horsepower was kicked into gear. Believe me, this is the least expensive way to release the horses under the hood. Best thing is I dont need to service the filter for 50000 miles.

From my experiences with the K&N air filters installed on my 2 autos and the other testimonials verifying what I discovered, I am sure that installing them on all new and old vehicles would decrease our dependence on oil by up to 10%.

I first bought my K&N filter 18 years ago and fitted to my Ford Laser 16 valve 1.6.(1990). Pickup was good and so was the fuel economy. This car now belongs to my son and is still running strong.
On 4 July 2008 just bought the New K & N for
my Hyundai Getz 1.3 (A). Tested and the pickup is good and I hope that it will also give good results. Thank You

I love k&n air filters. I have put them on all my quads and they have a lot more power than stock filters. I have put them on my 56 Buick and a Chevy Duramaxx Diesel. You can feel more power as soon as you put it on. I would and do reccomend k&n air filters for everything that they make them for. I would put one on my lawnmower if they made them.
NOTE - K&N does make air filters for many lawnmowers. See http://www.knfilters.com/performance_accessories.htm

Just the sound of that ssssiiiippppp...is enough gratification for me, but I've since put exhaust and headers to complete the flow and it's performance is unbelieveable!! K&N makes any motor better, it's up to you what your gonna create after that! BELEIVE!!!

I recently put a K&N filter in my wife's Ford Escape. I had been told good things about them, mostly from co-workers at Autozone. But it's true, you do get better gas mileage, horsepower, and performance all around. I have put one in my Honda Accord and my Dodge Ram 1500. K&N is the only one for me.

To Whom It May Concern:
I feel it is necessary to commend your customer service department in their exemplary performance handling a recent warranty issue.
Three weeks ago, a support bracket on my air intake broke, necessitating a phone call to your customer service department. The representative with whom I spoke was understanding, patient, courteous, and knowledgeable about the product, and sent me the replacement part overnight. I was incredibly pleased with the response time and care that was taken to resolve my problem.
The next day, I received the part, and discovered that it was the improper part number (did not match the packing list manifest). I called again, and although I was displeased that I had received the wrong part, I was once again very impressed by the professionalism shown by your staff to handle my problem. Again, the replacement part was sent to me overnight; fortunately, it was the correct part the second time.
Overall, I was very pleased and appreciative of the level of service provided by K & N, and feel that it is my responsibility to convey my gratitude, especially in this day and age of eroding customer service quality. Keep up the great work - I have and will continue to promote your products to my friends and family, and plan to install your products on all of my vehicles in the future.

When I heard about K & N filters I was a bit skeptical. I first got my mechanic's opinion before making a purchase. Bottom line was that it cost $22 more initially than a standard Toyota air filter, but I was banking on the longevity of the filter to be a good investment. I usually drive my vehicles about 200,000 miles before a new purchase.
We just returned from a five state, 3,273 mile road trip. I drive a 2005 Toyota 4 Runner and never got over 20.9 MPG before my K & N install. On this trip I got up to 24.3 MPG, but never less than 22.5 MPG. Overall average was about 23.5 MPG. In effect the filter has already paid for itself, and I am confident that this will be the last filter I need to buy for this vehicle. Good for me and good for the environment.
My only regret? I didn't do this sooner. Any plans for the future? Yep! I'll be buying K & Ns for my other vehicles....

I have been using K&N air filters for the last 9 years, this is the first time I have ever given feedback though. Anyhow I have been overly satisfied with the product that K&N has given me over these years. There is always an increase in power, mpg's and performance with a K&N air filter. I recommend to all friends and family, and always get the same reaction, that cost a lot! But I tell them to think for a moment that if you keep the vehicle for along time that you would have spent more on throw away paper filters so do yourself a favor and buy the BEST!

Let's Be Honest..I Was Looking for something to make the engine of my ride louder..and get best performance..i had a '04 Vw Jetta with 2.0 on it..that little engine is very quiet..even when 'bout to hit the red line on the rev counter..i was a little exceptial about the intake sistem..since the little engine its very quiet..i bough the replacement filter (part.no33-2128)..and..im impressed about the improvemen in my car with this little mod..it really blow hard..at about 3500rpm the engine its loud..and about 5000 it begans whistling like if it has an intake sistem..im in love with the filter..maybe im goin' to go big and buy the full intake sistem..i recommend this filter if you want to make your ride louder, of course for VW owners..the OEM filter its highly restrictive..put the K&N and it will be louder..or go big with the whole sistem..seriously it really improve the accelaration on 1 and 2 gear..and the sound of the filter whistling since 5000 rpm (red line its at 6500rpm) its music for me..if you have a VW..give them a try..you wont regret it..

I just had to write in and tell you guys how much I appreciate your air filter. I was sick and tired of getting 14-15 mpg on my 05 F150. I replaced the air filter with a K&N air filter. I am totally impressed because now I am getting 16 in the city and got 20 the first time on the interstate the other day. My next trip is to the store to buy another filter for my Camry.
Thanks!

When looking for a van, I decided on the 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L with the VCM (variable cylinder management). This is supposed to provide better fuel economy. The sticker read 19mpg for the city and 26 for freeway driving. I drive very conservatively (especially with gas prices the way they are) and I was not getting what Honda said was average even after 5K. I was getting about 15-16mpg in town and 22mpg on the freeway. Enter the K&N air filter. As soon as I checked my mpg again I was getting 18-19mpg in town (now 20mpg) and 25mpg on the freeway (now, sometimes 26 or 27). Thank you K&N for helping me to achieve what Honda said I'm suppose to get with cheap standard air filter. Now I'm looking at getting one for my 2008 VW Passat wagon.

Holden Commodore VY SS(ute!). Just replaced stock air intake with a K&N FIPK gen2 (pod filter). Total install took aprox 2 hours, but i am a computer technician by trade. No hassles with the install, kit looks tidy under bonnet, and OMG! Finally the LS1 motor sounds like a V8, noticing a lower idle RPM and a more responsive pedal. I would only asume better economy but at the moment im just driving by that awsome throaty growl that the new intake gives it. This is the first upgrade iv done on my baby, and am extremely happy with the product.

I love your guys products! I just put a FIPK generation 2 cold air intake (part # 57-2541) on my 2000 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 7700 with a 5.4 liter. It adds so much! It sounds like a different engine! It has such a sweet growl to it. It even makes the truck sound like it has an exhaust system on it. I was extremely surprised by the added power to it aswell. But, the added fuel mileage is a LIE! I cant keep my foot out of it! Come on K&N, how do expect people to get better gas mileage when we install your incredible products on our vehicles? I will definetely come back to your products as long as I own a vehicle. Thanks again!

I have used a K & N Intake on my 2000 Corvette since almost new and the wife just got a great deal on 2008 Saturn Vue XR with the 3.6 V6 because the original owner was getting poor mileage and traded it for a 4cyl model. The Vue was getting 20 MPG when we first got it. I Ran a bottle of good Injector cleaner and replaced the Air filter with a factory replacement K & N, filled up with 93 Octane and at the next fill up was vey pleased to see 25 MPG. I have used K & N filters for years on my Motorcycles, trucks and cars, keep up the good work guys!

I have a 1999 BMW K12 LT that I ride to work every day, about a 155 mile round trip. At 187,000 miles I replaced the stock BMW filter with a K&N. Before the retrofit I was getting just over 50 mpg. I am now approaching 60 mpg and the bike is running great!! With the stock filter I was always cleaning the black soot off of the tailpipe. With the K&N filter the pipe stays clean and shiny! THANKS K&N.

After purchasing a 57 Series FIPK GenII intake for my '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee I had a question about my appliciation. I happen to have the 4.7 HO engine and wanted to make sure there were no differnce between the standard 4.7 V8 and the HO 4.7 V8. I wrote an e-mail the same day my intake arrived and received confirmation that the intake will install with no differences within 2 hours. Great customer service!! Instructions were well writen, the kit is very well designed, and the results are obvious. The intake sounds awesome and almost made my Jeep sound like it has an exhaust system. Thats my next mod. No need to run it on a dyno; you can feel the throtle response, mid-range torque, and HP gains at the top end. Not sure about MPG improvement cause I can't keep my foot off the gas, but if you're worried about your MPG don't own a V8. I've ran K&N intakes on all of my last 4 vehicles and plan to for any future vehicle. Great product!!

After 40,000 miles on the K&N stock air filter, I cleaned it for the 1st time before a 1400 mile trip to S.C. The trip down (downhill to the coast) gave 32 and 35 mpg. The return trip gave 31 and 37 mpg. I blame the higher mpg on the last reading to a downhill run from Knoxville and a slight tailwind (the entire trip was 70+ mph). During the last 4 years with the Accord (V-6, 6 spd) the mpg ranges 30-34. Since this car has always been with the K&N, the gas improvement and performance cannot be compared to a stock air filter - BUT it is hard to not accept a V-6 getting over 30 mpg during it's lifetime. This is 1 of the 6 cars I installed K&N filters, and each showed improvement in pep and mpg.

I am the owner of a Mazda BT 50 pick up 4 x 4 truck I purchased the filter for my vehicle on the 10 june 2008 (my vehicle is f4 months old and it is one of the best additions to my vehicle thus far. I said this because I purchased this vehicle because it was a desiel vehicle and this type of fuel is the cheapest in this country. But was dissapointed because i found that i was still spending to much on fuel, but with this K&N filter I am now pleased and I have a little more change in my pocket this filter really works, no lie

I drive a 2000 Ford Explorer and saw it was time to get a new filter.
The (paper filter) I resently put in my truck tore, so I got a k&n.
I was surprized how much power and speed I have now, on the highway I hit 80 and better without knowing. I gotta back off the gas sometimes!
And gas mileage is a plus, thanx k&n...

I started using a K&N air filter in my car in June 2003. I also use the K&N oil filter. Next to my modified head light bulbs these are the best products I have ever bought for my car. The air filter along with the cleaning kit have paid for themselves more than a thousand times.

I have to comment on your product. It was time for a new air filter and I decided to install a K&N before a long trip out west. As you could already guess, I raised the mpg on my 03' 3.8L Impala from 32 to 35 cruising at about 70 mph. I almost paid for the filter in one trip considering the price of a gallon of gas these days. Great product that will be installed on all the family vehicles.

Back in May of 2006 I acquired a K&N air filter for my 1998 Chevrolet Malibu with a 3.1L engine. Due to the amount of driving I do (Sometimes as much as 650 Miles a week!) I was amazed at the gas mileage I was getting. Before the K&N, I was getting about 28-31 mpg's on the highway. I am now getting approx. 34 (if I keep my foot out off it.) The throttle response has also improved and as a volunteer firefighter, every second counts. Now I am patiently waiting for a K&N FIPK. Hope one comes soon 'cause I'll buy it. I STRONGLY recommend K&N to all my friends and co-workers. Thank you, K&N, for such an amazing product.

We got a filter in my mom's 1985 Mercedes 380 SE and after my dad saw the results it had he just had to get them for 2 of his Mercedes. He got them for his Mercedes 190 E 2.3 and 1986 420 SEL.
It quieted the 420 down a lot and the car feels much lighter now when you accelerate and is averaging about 3-4 MPG better overall
In the 190 the filter makes it sound like a cold air intake and gave it a huge improvement in power. It has a sweet spot once you get over 3000 RPM now. Also it went from about 37 MPG on the freeway to a little over 40
We'll definitely be getting them in all of our other cars soon..... All 17 of them
Thanks for the great product
