To K&N,
Your air intakes really kick a##. It sounds to me like a another truck since the intake was installed. People the price is worth your dollars, it enhances the driving experience.

Just dropping a note to say, I have installed your 77-3023KP system on my 2003 Chevy Suburban 6.0L 3/4 4 wdr. and I have seen an improvement in gas mileage within the first 200 miles of driving. I'm at this point tickled with the increased fuel mileage, I'm looking for the long term return. lol. Thank you for the help in fighting the gas pump.

Dearest K&N,
I recently purchased a K&N air filter for my 1996 Ford Mustang GT (4.6L) and I must say that acceleration and HP has increased significantly.
I'm no stranger to K&N air filters because my first car had one and my father's Tundra and my mother's Camaro both have them.
I love it when I give it just a little gas and the crisp throttle answers with easiness. I put the pedal at WOT (wide open throttle) and to complement the dual mufflers, the intake noise of all that air gushes through the engine and air box. I am very pleased with the product and I'll stand behind it 100%!

My K&N
I just put a K&N on my '92 Corvette, which is otherwise stock outside of a performance chip. I sure wish I had before/after dyno numbers to quantify it, because I notice more of a difference with the filter than I did the chip! I don't race my car at the track, but I'm forever in the throttle on the street. And there's now a very noticeable difference in acceleration, especially at the initial throttle tip in. And after reading your other testimonials, I'm now looking forward to increased gas mileage as well. Thanks, K&N, for a GREAT product!

My K&N experience
After reading the other testimonials there isn't a whole lot more you can say. I am thoroughly impressed with your systems and filters.
I installed one of your kits on my 2003, F250 Super Duty with the 6.8L V10. I wanted better efficiency and gas mileage and your product supplied just that.
I have been impressed enough that I went and got one of your filters for my wife's Pathfinder and it too is showing better mileage along with running stronger.
Thanks for the chance to let others know how well your products work. I just wish I had starting using them sooner.

I have an FIPK on my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (4.0 HO). To say I love it is a massive understatement. It improved my gas mileage overall. When I use the Overland to tow my 22' EdgeWater center console, the engine does not labor at all.
The sound when I start the engine and give it some throttle is a nice bonus, and it makes the engine compartment look great, too.
Thank you for making such a great product that actually does what you say it will, and then some.

Dear K&N,
I have had your filter in my 1999 Mustang V6 now for 1 month. From the first tank of gas I went from 17 to 23.14 mpg. I'm gonna get one for my 04 Escape now.
Thanks,

A couple of months ago I purchased and installed an air filter system on my 2002 Avalanche. I wrote back to you how impressed I was with the ease of installation and the very noticeable acceleration improvement. I was holding back on increase in gas mileage until I had taken a trip. Well, I've just returned from a round trip, from Seattle to Las Vegas and back. On my last trip I had gotten a high of 16.4 mpg. On this trip I had a high of 18.5 mpg! When I filled with gas in Seattle the price was $2.11 a gallon. Once on the road, in Oregon, California and Nevada, I paid an average of $2.56 and as high as $2.78 a gallon. So, as you can see, your system is already starting to save me money. Thanks a lot.
February 22, 2005
K&N, I picked up an intake kit for my 2002 Avalanche today. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but that conversion was a snap. Your instructions are excellent!
Took it out for a test drive. Defiantly an improvement on acceleration.
Sounds Sounds like the hood's being sucked into the intake. Time will tell on the mileage. I'm thinking....money well spent.

Just a brief note to say I have received my FIPK generation II system for my 2002 Intrepid R/T. I received the system Last Wednesday March 30 and installed it on Thursday March 31. It took maybe 20-30 mins. I have to say there is a noticeable difference in performance and sound, all very positive. Thursday evening I had a full car and people noticed the performance and remarked on it.
All in all I would say this was a very positive purchase.

Well, I've been reading these testimonials for about a month now since my FIPK has been on backorder for a month and I just finally installed it tonight on my Grand Cherokee 4.0L L6. Only sticky part which I'm sure varies from diff vehicle to vehicle is the install. Just a lil tricky and tight but i did it in about an hour and a half give or take. My test drive was GREAT! I have a cat-back exhaust on so it was a lil hard to hear but I did hear the whistle under the roar from the exhaust. When people say on here about throttle response being spectacular, well "dang" they sure do mean it. This is one heck of a product, K&N. I recommend it to everyone!
Thanks again

Hi;
I have a 2005 Ford Escape XLT 4X4 with the 3.0L V6. It is a great SUV to begin with and your air filter made it even better. It has much better acceleration and the engine idles smoother, it starts faster and my gas mileage went up as well, I was only getting about 18 mpg without it and now I'm getting 22mpg in the city! I also have your oil filter as well and I believe that since your air and oil filters filter out more junk than regular filters it will increase the life of the engine.
Thanks,

A novel use for a K&N Filter
I use these filters in all my vehicles and wanted to use in my new lawnmower as well. But not available so made up a snorkel system to fit the Honda motor. In 2 years use, without cleaning, there is not a speck of dirt in the snorkel tube (Tested with a white cloth wipe-out). The filter is absolutely filthy. I feel it proves a point. The paper filter would be long past its use-by date. See attatched photos.

Just wanted to drop by and tell you guys how nice your filters worked for my 2004 F-150. A few people kept telling me how powerful your air filters were and so I decided to try it out. It probably is the best money I have spent on any accessory for my truck. The throttle response is amazing and I have noticed improved gas mileage. I can't believe that an air filter can do all of this and the best part is I don't have to buy another one ever! I can't wait to try the FIPK that you offer for my truck.

Received my K&N Filter today and couldn't wait to install it in my 1999 YAMAHA 350 WARRIOR. The filter came with a special plate that made installing the filter super easy. Also it came with different rubber inserts for re-jetted 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.

Hello K & N,
I am sort of tight when it comes to spending money. So I knew of your product for a number of years but didn't want to spend the money. We bought a '99 GMC Yukon and we tow our boat almost every weekend. I thought the 350 would do a better job. I was in a parts store and decided I would give it a shot and put one of your filters in there and what a MAJOR difference. You can just hear the air flowing through there when I'm towing the boat. Our mileage went up over 1 mpg towing the boat and the power is unreal. Thanks for the product. I hope more folks like me will consider the filter and not wait like I did.

I installed a K&N air filter in my 2002 Monte Carlo and let me tell you I definitely noticed a difference. The throttle response is much greater than before I put the filter in. I also love the fact that I won't have to replace it for a while. I just wanted to thank you guys for this and I'm going to buy your oil filter next time I change my oil. You guys are awesome.

Hello,
I always knew you guys made good filters, but me being more of a biker in India with a small 150 Ceecer, I never thought it would be of much help on my machine. Until I got frustrated of considering it and went ahead and bought myself one.
Waahoo! It really did it. I could feel the motor gain revs very easily. Since the single cylinder isn't one that can be exploited easily, there was no outstanding difference as such, but there most definitely was a difference, one that made me go he he. So great, thank your people for the ingenuity.
Please make yourself more available in India. There are hundreds more just like me out here.
Thanks again,

I just installed a K&N on my 05 Toyota Tacoma and I noticed the difference when I pulled out of the driveway. By the time I entered the freeway I could not take the stupid grin off my face. This has to be the best money I've dropped in my truck. Throttle response is immediate and pulling away from tail gaiters is a blast watching the shock on their face as your tail lights get smaller by the second..

K&N for life!
I first bought a K&N filter for a short ram intake on an 02 Dodge Stratus. The difference was amazing, and the savings on filter changes was great! I will only get K&N filters for all my vehicles from now on! If not for the added power, mileage, and performance (as if that wasn't enough!), then for the savings over traditional disposable filters! It's amazing! Thanks, K&N!

Chevy Trailblazer 2002 and Lexus RX300 1999 Performance Increase
Dear K&N,
Thank you for continuing to build such great products. I bought a filter for my 99 RX300 because it was getting bad gas mileage and horrible acceleration. Installed the K&N filter, and BAM!! Much better response and mileage. My 02 Trailblazer also felt the mileage increase. The extra power when towing is awesome. I was a skeptic at first, the filters seemed pricey, but as I look back, the extra money is money very well spent. Thank you K&N!!

I purchased a CA (cold air) kit for my 2003 Honda S2000 from "a retailer" in February. What a kit! The thorough instructions made for an easy installation, in about 2 hours we had the car back together and taking it for a "brisk" test drive. Every last piece needed was included the kit, every fitting and washer, I didn't have to make a parts run for anything!
Not only have I gained HP, but my mileage has gone from an average of 28.6 mpg to 29.4 mpg and with the 70 miles I drive round trip each day to work the gas savings will more than pay for the kit.
K&N's commitment to quality is second to none and I take pride in showing off my intake to everyone. Thank you for making such a great product.

I drive a 92' full-size Chevy Blazer. It's lifted and has a new beefed up engine, so you can imagine the need to conserve fuel. I had always wanted to try K&N air filters so I went out and bought one the other day. Wow! What a difference it has made. I could feel the change in response and increased power instantly. What an amazing product! And I never have to replace it. Can't wait to get the FIPK for my truck. I can always use more horsepower! Thanks again K&N!

What a product. First time user. 97 Chevy Suburban full size, Big engine, Big car... MPG prior to insulation, 12 -14 mph tops. After installed 17.3 mpg, at this rate with 5 tanks of gas, it will pay for itself. Horse power went up at least by 10-15... Just from an air filter change... Why did I wait.. On my 2nd car I also changed... 97 Toyota T-100... Power + was added... no mpg as yet, big performance change

Dear K&N, I just bought my first K&N filter last week for my 2002 Chevy Z71 ext. cab truck. 5300 engine. I was getting 16 mpg and had considered buying a tuner to increase my mileage. A friend recommended your filter first. I got 20 mpg at speeds of 60-65 mph. Forget the tuner, I am thrilled. Thanks a million!

I took my 2004 F-150 pickup in for its routine service. The air filter needed to be changed. I asked how much a new paper filter would be. They said $35.00. I was shocked because I change them out almost every time I change my oil. Then a friend turned me on to K&N. I figured I would give it a shot since I needed a new air filter anyway. WOW! I didn't expect anything other then whoopty doo, an air filter.... I could tell instantly how much more power my truck had. It had more zip to it than it usually does. I was shocked. I then went home and purchased one for my 2005 Chevy Tahoe. Just think, I could have spent $35.00 every other month for the next 4 or so years or just spend a few more dollars and never have to replace my air filter AGAIN! This is so well worth the money it's not even funny. K&N this is to a job well done. Amazing product! I will install a K&N filter on every vehicle I own for the rest of my life!
Thanks again!

My 2004 Subaru was purchased in 03' mid year. I had completely used up the factory filter. When it came time to replace, I decided to purchase a K & N OEM replacement filter. I do feel an increase in straight line power. The light to light times have decreased. The turbo spools up quicker and has an increase in boost. Not a great increase, but enough to notice on the gauge. It also holds the boost during the shifts better. I am very pleased with the out come of the OEM style replacement filter.
One more thing! Since I got the OEM filter. I was doing the registering of the item. While on the site, I noticed a few items that I did not know where out. Now I am going to upgrade again and go with the Typhoon kit. I will give stats when this goes down
Till then, best regards!

I am 15 so I don't have a car but, I have a quad, goped, and 2 golf carts with K&N air filters, and I just want to say how awesome these filters are! They defiantly add horsepower, and throttle response to my two stroke engines, and wouldn't use any other filter! Any engine or car I get will always have a K&N air filter on them because they are so dependable, add performance, get better mileage, and look great too. I just want to thank K&N for making such great filters, keep up the awesome work!!!

I recently fitted a K&N OEM replacement panel filter to my 2000 Volvo V70N T5. The car has been modified with a 300 bhp upgrade and I found that my average mpg using the OEM filter was between 24.5mpg and 25.5 mpg. I make regular 500 mile round trips to the English south coast, and found that previously I would average 29mpg using the OEM filter, driving the whole journey at motorway speed.
After fitting the K&N replacement filter I found my everyday mpg to be 26 to 27mpg under normal (occasionally spirited!) driving. My first trip to the south gave a fuel consumption of 31mpg. The throttle response seems to be noticeably sharper, and there is more willingness to the engine and the acceleration on-boost. With the extortionate price of petrol in the UK, even a 5% increase in fuel efficiency means that I save enough each month for your product to pay for itself in 5 months with my current monthly mileage.
An excellent product.

I have used K&N in most of the cars we have owned over the past 7 years and most recently installed one in my 2005 SAAB 9-2X. Besides the improved gas mileage (typically 1 mpg over a new stock filter), and the other benefits mentioned by other users, one area that it helps that no one mentions is protection from rodents! We live in a heavily wooded area, and before using K&Ns, I would often find that mice had made nests using the paper from conventional filters, thereby destroying engine protection provided by the air filter. Mice & chipmunks have really plagued our cars, even eating the top of the gas tank on my wife's new SAAB last spring. (not covered by warranty). They never seem to touch the K&Ns, even in my old MG that sits all week until I drive it on weekends. Must be the combination of a strong wire mesh protecting an oiled gauze that they find distasteful.

I have had my K&N filter in my 97' Dodge Dakota for over two years and I notice a major difference in get-up-n-go. I have gained about a whole mile per gallon difference. I went from an average of 183 miles per tank to 195 per tank. This is with just the OEM replacement from K&N. I can just imagine the difference if I replaced the air box and 3" intake with the K&N replacement kit would be. Before I first got the K&N air filter when I needed to accelerate real quick it took a whole second before my truck responded. However, after I put the K&N in it is almost instantaneous and still is.
Thanks K&N

Outstanding Product!!!
Hello - I am very impressed with this product. I put a K &N filter in my 2004 Mazda 6s 3.0 V6 over the weekend and I noticed an immediate difference in compression and horsepower. My daily commute includes a 40 mile highway sprint and the acceleration with the new filter was noticeably more spirited than before especially at passing speeds. I'm looking forward to seeing how the K&N filter affects my fuel efficiency. So far I'm very pleased with this product and I'm going to recommend it to my friends and family.
UPDATE - This thing is wonderful! I just ordered another one for my Wife's Mazda MPV minivan. Her vehicle has less horsepower and is geared a lot lower than my car. In a few months we are going to install a hitch mounted bike rack. I can't wait to see how the new air filter affects the low end torque. If the gain is anything like what I experienced in my car I estimate that the added air flow will at least negate the load created by the hitch, rack and bikes. Who would have thought an air filter could make such a big difference?
Thanks again!

Dear K&N,
I purchased one of these excellent filters from a local speed shop (unlimited motosports) in June of 2003. I own a 1988 Ford F-150, 2-wd with a 4.9L 300c.i. inline six. It has a 4 speed with overdrive manual transmission with electronic fuel injection. It only took about 2 hours from start to finish to install. I previously got 14 mpg, now with the K&N I get about 17 on the highway. This original Inline 6 has over 300,000 miles with no problems at all with the engine. When I rev. the engine to about 3,400RPM the intake makes an awesome rumble sound under the hood and acceleration is amazing. I can easily out accelerate my friends 91 Chevy shotbed pickup with a 305 HO V8. The filter isn't the only mod, but it is a great start. As of today 1/8/05 I have cleaned the filter 2 or 3 times because of the very dusty conditions I drive in. It didn't really need it, but I did it with the tune-up and before running through inspection. Thanks for your great product.

K&N:
I would like to say first and foremost that you offer some top notch products. I have been running your oil filter ever since I bought my 98 Jeep Wrangler 2 years ago. I recently purchased a conical style filter along with a tube adapter for the air intake system on my 4.0L I6 engine (242 ci). The first thing I noticed was the increased throttle response, especially at the first touch of the pedal. The overall power increase is amazing, and it feels like my engine can breath again compared to its old restrictive air box. I also noticed a massive increase when going up hills, not only does the Jeep maintain speed with my 33 inch tires howling down the road, but when I step on it...it does not hesitate! Thank you once again from a loyal consumer.

I have an Econoline 150 van, with a K&N air and oil filter on. The van is a 300 ci in line 6-cylinder engine, which stock runs around 14 mpg. With these upgrades I am able to achieve 30 mpg at 55 mph or 22 mpg at highway speeds of 65-70 mph. The overall engine performance is phenomenal, excellent throttle response and an added (at least) 20 horsepower altogether. Torque has also improved tremendously over the OEM equipment. The most noticeable difference is climbing the steep hills around Lake Michigan, before the "dog" would struggle up, you could tell there was an airflow issue. After I installed the air filter, she powers right up those hills without missing a beat. I couldn't imagine running without these excellent products. My active lifestyle demands performance with frequent 1000+ miles trips, including those to the deserts of Nevada and New Mexico. Thanks K&N!

Dear K&N:
I just wanted to let you know that I had purchased the cold air induction system for my Tahoe and was very pleased with the performance increase that I gained from applying your system. I've bragged enough that my father purchased one for his 97 Ford F-2450 that had "lost it's spunk." He was ecstatic when he felt the difference after we put it on and went down the road, he said it drove and responded better than new. Thanks for making an "old dad" happy with his "old truck."

I installed an air filter in my 1989 Grand Wagoneer (Jeep/5.9L V8) it made a HUGE difference. The engine idles smoothly and starts immediately.
I installed an air induction kit on my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (4.7 HO V8). It was already a very responsive engine, but now it is monster (in a good way). It gets much better mileage, idles at 600 rpm instead of 1,100 rpm, has excellent throttle response, and sounds wonderful.
Thank you for such great products.

I purchased a K&N filter today with some money I got for Christmas, I wanted to spend money on my car but didn't know what to get. I have been thinking about modifying my intake to allow more air flow to reach the filter but had never actually thought of just upgrading the OE filter. Well I'm glad I did, it has made a huge difference to the acceleration and over all responsiveness of my vehicle and just thought I'd send an e-mail to say thank you and keep up the good work... Thank you again
UPDATE 1/20/05: I purchased a K&N OE replacement filter on Boxing day and sent you an e-mail in regards to how happy I was with the power/torque increase. I now have more feedback for you this time in regards to fuel consumption. Sorry to say the information I have worked out is metric so it may need converting from Litres/100km to Miles/Gallon.
The results are as follows:
With OE Filter still fitted- City 23L/100Kkm, Highway 17L/100km With K&N Filter fitted- City 17L/100km, Highway 14L/100km
These figures are with the car running on LPG (as fuel pump is currently not working) the Auto in 'Power' mode and using cruise control at 100km/h in highway conditions. I would also like to add that I don't take it easy off the line so I tend to chew through fuel.
Hope this information is useful to you, all the best

Dear K&N
Like many of your customers I too am not prone to taking the time to write a manufacturer in order to congratulate them on a product well made. I am making an exception today, however. In November, 2004 I had my 400cid Pontiac V-8 totally rebuilt, run, and tuned on the engine rebuilding shop's engine dynamometer. For our last pull on the dyno we placed a K&N filter and X-Stream Air Flow top onto my Quadrajet and realized both a 10 hp and 10 lb/ft gain at the respective peaks. Based on these results I will most definitely be installing both a K&N filter and an X-Stream Air Flow top on my Trans Am in the spring. As my engine builder said, "That filter is the 10 least expensive horsepower in that engine". Well done, K&N.
UPDATE - For the record, and I wish I had been more clear on this in my previous e-mail, the 10 hp and 10 lb/ft difference was between just the carburetor alone, (no air filter of any kind), and then the addition of your filter and X-Stream Air Flow top. I was impressed.
Yours truly,

Air Charger for a 2004 Pontiac GTO
WOW.....I just spent half the day putting a K&N Air Charger (I'm old), in my 2004 Pontiac GTO. I have never wasted my time giving feedback on products before, but I just had to tell someone about the pure beauty of this air/filter system. After I finished putting everything together, I started her up. I could tell right away that something was different. She was kind of rock'in side to side with a low rumble. A test drive is in order I thought; wouldn't want to be a slacker. So off we went.
I could tell immediately the 5.7L had more beef, more punch, hell, it just kicked a$$. I'll stop now; don't want to babble, but I'll tell you it was definitely worth every penny.....but then joy is always worth more than $$.

I put your cold air injection kit on 2004 Dodge pickup 2500 with the Cummins 5.9L diesel and wow what a difference. I could never believe that doing this would change my power so much. My take off is really changed and my fuel mileage as changed for the better. This the second time I've used a K & N filter. The first time I put one on my 1990 dodge pickup 2500 with the Cummins and just changing to your filter there was a big change for the better.

Gentlepersons:
Seldom do I write an accolade for a product; however, this is one of those rare occasions. I received and installed a K&N air filter in my '92 Landcruiser three days ago and found out for myself that the "hype" surrounding K&N products is not hype at all. During my driving sessions around town, I immediately noticed a much smoother idle. I did not notice an appreciable increase in "horsepower" until I took my vehicle up a very steep grade on one of our many Los Angeles freeways. At freeway speed, the horses really kicked in, and the car had more passing power. You see, my Landcruiser, although I wouldn't give it up for almost anything, has a V-6, 4.0 litter engine--- very underpowered for a vehicle of its size. The 60 bucks (including shipping) I laid down for the K&N air filter actually changed, in quite significant ways, the manner in which my Landcruiser idled, passed at freeway speeds, and the overall "feel" of the vehicle. Even my wife noticed the difference in idle. What a steal! My highest congratulations go out to you folks at K&N, and I wish your fine company the very best in the years to come.

After I fitted the k&n filter, the roar of my engine after 3000rpm is so awesome that I don't put on the AC I just rip the engine inside tunnels. Also there is a noticeable improvement in the performance and any lay person can feel it. The fuel economy has also improved by about 1 km/liter if driven conservatively. I had this filter since 2002 but never got the time to comment on this site.
I am really grateful to you for having made such a lovely product. At the time there was no dealer in India so I had to import it through a friend in the US. It's an absolute value for money. Now that Methods online in India has started stocking it many others will get to experience this great experience.
keep up the good work.

We purchased our 2002 Kia Sedona van from a friend who no longer needed such a large vehicle. He always stated that it only achieved no better than 21mpg on the highway. Well, the first thing I did was to find a K&N filter on the web and get one for this van. In town mileage improved somewhat but after changing the oil with synthetic and having the plugs changed, mileage really improved. We just returned from a 1600 mile Texas vacation and got a high of 24.4mpg at an average of 70mph! To clarify things a bit more, our friend mostly traveled alone and this trip to Texas was just my wife and I; although we did bring back lots of souvenirs, gifts and Christmas presents. I didn't check the mileage on the trip home because I know the added weight of "stuff" helped drop it. I'm just glad to know that the mpg has gone up period. I also like the growl it makes when I accelerate hard.
Thanks,

I own a 2004 Honda Civic 1.7liter ex coupe, and about two months ago I installed the 69-1008TB Typhoon Short-Ram Air Intake. WOW! I can't believe the difference! My car always felt like it struggled some when it was accelerating with the stock air box, so I got the K&N replacement air filter to help out some. I noticed a slight increase in performance, but the stock inlet tube was right next to the fender wall, getting hardly any air! If you own an 04 civic, save up for the Typhoon kit. My engine looks so much cleaner with the typhoon, sounds MUCH sweeter, and I have noticed a 20 to 25 mpg increase in my fuel mileage (I have an auto transmission). Excellent product, K&N! The drastic change in my acceleration is unbelievable! Your magazine ad is true, it put boost in my drive! Every time I accelerate (especially if I punch it) I smile from ear to ear. One of the biggest changes I love the most is the new sound that roars from underneath my hood when I accelerate! This sound alone is enough reason to buy this kit! I simply cannot wait until I am able to hook up a cat-back exhaust system to my civic....the sweet roar of the Typhoon coupled with the low rumble of the cat-back! All of this talk about the typhoon has made me want to go driving. Thanks, K&N, for all of your research, development, and hard work! I love your products, and 3 oil changes ago I switched to synthetic motor oil and the K&N Performance Gold Oil Filter.
Rock on!

I just installed a K&N Apollo on a 98 Volvo V70 2.3 T5. All I have to say is awesome! For the first time since we got the car you can actually hear the turbo working sucking in small children and such things! You can even hear the waste gate working when you take your foot off the gas! It feels like there is a whole new engine under the bonnet and the whole car feels like it has a massive rocket booster even with a full tank of fuel! THANK YOU K&N!

Best filter around. My dad ran them in his racing bikes in the late 60's early 70's. The first thing I do when I buy a vehicle is order one. For the skeptics out there that think you're going to get more dirt in your engine, because of the increased air flow: My best friend is a mechanic and has changed my oil since day one. He actually complimented me on having really clean oil. No sign what so ever of sludge, build-up, or dirt.

I just returned from a trip after installing a 77 series intake on my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe that has a 5.3 flex-fuel V8. I am glad to say that I averaged 18 miles per gallon cruising at 70 miles per hour. That is much better than the 15 mpg I was getting prior to installation.
The performance value is noticed also. It is more responsive to the throttle at any speed. Again, I am very satisfied with another K & N product.

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.
