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

Just recently purchased a high-flow intake kit for my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer, and right away noticed the increased horsepower.  I bought one for my Dads 2005 Dodge Ram and he also noticed the increase in horsepower.  Thanks for the great products.

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

I drive a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0.  In search for improved mpg, I replaced my stock intake (and the bird nest beneath it) with a K&N drop in filter.  My highway mpg jumped from ~21.1 to ~23.6, with much less gas pedal required to maintain 70mph and scale highway hills (which used to require a downshift and killed my mpg).  The money saved in gas will more than pay for the filter!  Thanks K&N.

I'm so happy with my K & N stock replacement air filters. I have a 2007 Corvette with 400 base HP and a 6 speed manual tranny. Driving at 65 mph on the freeway, my digital instant mileage readout shows 51 mpg, it's in 6th gear and running at 1100 rpm. That's astounding, that's my Vette and thank you for such a wonderful product.

I purchased a KN air filter for my 2008 Honda Accord. It's only an inline 4 banger engine, however the KN filter woke it up and gave it an aggressive sound. Although this product is great, I feel a short ram or cold air intake is in order for this vehicle. Please hop to it K&N

I have a 2006 Silverado 5.3L with a Flex engine.  When I first bought my truck on the freeways I was getting 17-19 MPG. I knew I could do better than that and I always used K&N Air Filters so I replaced my stock GM filter with a K&N filter. With just the filter alone I went from 17-19 mpg to 20-21 mpg. Knowing I should be able to do better I bought a cold air intake system from K&N then I went to 21-24 mpg. Now I have just installed a cat-back exhaust to free up the exhaust out take. Getting easy 22-28 mpg.  Just waiting on K&N to help with intown driving. Still bad there 16-17 mpg if your lucky .. But thanks K&N for the great freeway mileage.

I purchased the air intake system for our 04 Olds Bravada. I gained 3 to 5 mpg. Depends on how you drive it. You can tell the difference in throttle response. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much money on a product but it has been worth it. Very easy to install, took me 45 min. I didn't realize how much air restriction there was from the stock setup til I started taking the filter system apart. Thanks for a great product!!!

For the last 5 years I have been extremely satisfied with my K&N intake kit. I recently took my filter element off for its annual cleaning and found some of the adapter rubber had broke off. I called to order a replacement and fully expected to pay for the part & shipping. I was told it would be taken care of at no charge by a very courteous customer service rep. That's what I call excellent customer service! As always I will tell everyone of my great experiences with K&N's products & services.

Dear K&N,

 I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima GLE.  Before replacing my air filter with your product, I was averaging about 23 to 24 mpg and getting about 330 to 335 miles on a full tank of fuel.

 After installing your air filter, I am now getting 27 mpg and a minimum of 400 miles on a tank! My fuel economy has improved by almost 20 percent!

Thanks for making a SUPERB product!

Sincerely Yours,

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon R/T that I just bought a cold air intake for and I have awesome power improvements. It feels like I got an extra 20 horsepower. I also have and 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins with a cold air intake and have tons more power! I also have a 1989 Dodge Ram W150 360 with a K&N air filter and I had huge improvement in fuel economy from 12MPG to 18MPG AVG. My other vehicles are getting. Neon R/T 30 before to 34 AVG after and Ram 2500 Cummins 20 to 25.1 MPG AVG. K&N is AWSOME!! GREAT PRODUCTS

I have a 1996 F-150 5.8L V8, Before I bought my K&N intake I was averaging around 10mpg city, and 14 highway. After removing my old paper filter, and installing my new cold air K&N intake, I realized how much easier my truck gets up to speed and has alot more power response. The best part would have to be the gas mileage though. I'm getting 13.5 mpg city, and 16 highway!! I by far, am impressed. K&N you have surely done your homework!

I've put a K&N in my last three vehicles; a 2001 Ford Windstar, a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, and a 2006 Ford Freestyle, the latter two which I presently own.  In each case, my gas mileage has risen 2-3 MPG and that's money in my pocket.  Wouldn't drive a car without one anymore.

Within the last month I purchased a K&N air filter for my 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8s. After hearing about K&N for a few years I decidied to try it. Before with a paper filter I was averaging around 30 mpg in city and 36 mpg on the highway driving. In the three weeks since installing the filter I have noticed an increase of about 3 mpg. There is also a noticable improvement in throttle response and the car idles and shifts at lower rpms. Awesome product, telling my whole family and all my friends.

I Purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty 2WD 3.7L and had been getting between 285 to 310 miles per tank of gas on a 20 gal. tank so... 16 MPG rounded up average. I installed my K&N Intake System and Noticed that I was now getting 330 to 350 Miles Per tank of gas!!! Thats 18 MPG a 2MPG increase, This with ALOT more Power! Even with Jeep's ANNOYING Torque Management system (reduces Torque along the whole powerband according to load and traction) it has SO Much More power and I noticed that you can hear the Motor really come to life.

After doing some research, I started to track the gas mileage for my 2004 Subaru Forester. I purchased a K&N Air Filter to replace the OEM filter and have picked up 2.5 miles per gallon. What was 24 mpg now averages 26.5 and higher. Thank you and I can't wait to replace the filter in our brand new Matrix.

I purchased a K & N air filter for my 2000 Acura Integra a couple of years ago; the results I got from this filter alone were much more than I thought I would get.  My gas mileage went from 31 to 34 miles per gallon and acceleration was much improved.  Also, not that it matters, but it made my performance exhaust sound much better.  I am extremely happy with the results from this filter and have found that it is well worth the extra money.

I bought an air intake for my 2001 Silverado with a 4.8 liter and boy did I feel and hear the difference.  After about an hour of installation, I took it for a test drive and could feel the takeoff was stronger, my rpm's would rev much higher between shift points, and I could actually hear the air being sucked into the engine.  I previously had a replacement filter, but it can't compare with a total intake swap.  
A very satisfied customer,

I drive a 1999 Ford Contour SE with the 2.0 liter I4 Ztec motor. After installing the filter, I experienced significantly greater accelleration, and though I didn't expect it, the tone of the engine's revs took on a more profound, stronger note.

I have been using K&N air filters for 4 to 5 years. My sister put one on her new (2007) Lexus with great performance results. I have put them on Supra, Ranger, 2 Aleros, Malibu. The pick up after each install was really great. There is no hesitation in any of the vehicles, now, esp the Lexus, which did have hesitation right out of the box, so to speak. Also, I clean the filters at every oil change (15K because I use Mobil 1) and it's like getting a new air filter every time. I rec to all my friends and some have even followed my advice, even when their mechanics said not to do it, and they were and still are happy with the performance of their cars on your filters. Great to find a product that works as advertised!

I just added a K&N air filter to my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am V6.  I commute daily to work and without the K&N was averaging 27 miles per gallon.  Now with the K&N filter my car is getting 33 miles per gallon.  I can also tell a significant improvement in the throttle response.  I also put a K&N filter in my 2005 Ford Excursion V10.  I usually average 12 miles per gallon, but am now averaging 15 miles per gallon.  I can also tell a big difference is its throttle response.  I am overly pleased with the significant mpg improvements in both vehicles and have to say that I am a customer for life.  Thank you K&N!

It's been awhile since I purchased your air filter product several months ago for my 06 Jeep Liberty CRD. This is a 4 cyl. diesel engine that before the air filter change, was giving me 24 m.p.g. highway. For some time now after installing the K&N air filter, I have gotten as high as 27 m.p.g. highway and now am averaging city/highway, just under 24 m.p.g. I have calculated my mileage several times now with fillup's and it has been consistant. Great product.

I recently purchased my K/N filter for my 2006 Evo MR. I went from about 20 mpg to just under 23 mpg. I do have the engine flashed with some upgrades and this small purchase was probably the smartest one I have made so far. I will test the true mpg over the next few weeks, but I expect the numbers to be about the same.

I just installed a Typhoon Series intake on my 2007 Honda Civic Si.  The directions were straightforward, and it took me only about 2 hours to complete.  I love the way it looks...the silver color matches my engine cover.  The sound is fantastic when the revs build, and I can feel a bump in the engine's response.  The price was good and from what I can tell so far, worth it!  This was an easy and cost effective mod that makes a great car even better.

I was an auto mechanic for 3 years, so needless to say my family members always ask me questions about their cars. I replaced the (disposable paper brand) air filter in my sister's 1994 Mazda Protege with a K&N one without telling her. A few days later she told me her car accelerated quicker from a dead stop and asked me why it did that all of the sudden. I told her I replaced her air filter with a high performace one. As a former auto mechanic, I swear by K&N filters and intake kits and would never install anything else on my cars.

Thanks K&N!

    A couple of weeks ago I bought one of your air filters for my 1995 Acura Integra GS-R. I am impressed with the performance and value of the filter! The deeper, throatier sound my car's engine now makes is great to hear, and my friends think I must have spent big bucks on a costly air intake kit! They seem shocked when I tell them all I did was replace the air filter!! I've noticed gains in gas mileage too and my car's performance has reached a new level of potential! I normally wouldn't have taken the time to write a company about one of their products, this is one product that deserves some recognition!

I was skeptical about the filters because of the cost but not anymore. I have been getting 22mpg city 24 hwy in my 1998 Camry since last August. I replaced the filter and the first time out I checked it and got 32 mpg mostly highway.  I am sold.

Installed the K&N air charger intake system in my 2007 Ford Mustang GT today.  I know very little about cars, have never done work like this in the past but it was very easy for the most part.  My only gripe was the radiator fan shroud mounting bolt was a beast to put on and sadly for me my wife who also knows very little about any of this finally got it after about a half hour of battling it.  Everything else was simple, explained in plain english, oh and the best part, only driven it a tad bit so far, don't know about gas mileage increase, but definately hear and feel a power difference.  I gave it a shot, I won't lie, I had my doubts, but any doubt has been put to sleep, it's great, huge power feel and sound gain, want to top it off some time soon with an exhaust... (Pending wifes approval).  Great product K&N has a new customer!

I just installed the Typhoon intake system on my '06 Acura RSX Type-S today; taking off the stock airbox was more work than installing the Typhoon!

The performance increase was noticeable right away, even with normal acceleration; it was more responsive even at low RPM's (under 3k) and really comes alive at 6k and above.  Yes, there's more noise when accelerating hard but the extra boost in horsepower is also there; getting from 0-60 took noticeably less time and the extra boost at 6k and above feels like a rocket gets ignited behind the car.  My only complaint has nothing to do with the K&N system - I wish the car had another 2k of RPM before hitting redline so I could really let this thing wind-up!

Highly recommended system; my guess is that when driving under normal conditions the added, less-constricted airflow will probably add a bit to gas mileage, and with prices near $4.00 a gallon every little bit helps.

Thanks, K&N.

I put a K&N air filter (filter only) on my wife's 2002 Chevy Trailblazer (4.2 I6). The gas mileage went from 19-20 mpg on the highway to 23 mpg!!! (that's well over a 10% increase!!!) I will always put a K&N filter in any car or truck that I'll own.

I wrote a in August of 2004 about my 2000 Sierra and the difference the filter had made. My truck is now over 8 years old with over a 100,00 miles and in the intervening almost three years this one filter has worked without fail in some of the worst dust and mud I could get into. I also purchased one of the oil filters and will buy more as it has allowed me to go much further between oil changes and still left the oil looking like it had a thousand or so miles left to it

Hello, I just bought a K&N filter for my 6 clyinder Altezza  What a difference in horsepower and fuel it has made.  Why did it take me so long to put this in?

What can I say it's the best.

In March 2008 I bought a HA-1006 (air filter) for my Honda CBF1000 ABS '07 Motorcycle.

What a transformation! Smoother fuelling, more power, quicker engine response and, from my tests so far, easily 10% more fuel efficiency from each tank of fuel. So the filter will pay for itself in no time and I get a better bike too. All this with the standard exhausts and no fiddling with engine tuning or the electronics.

Excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you.

I have a 98 Chevrolet e/cab 1500 ful size short bed p/u with a 4.3 v6 engine. When I bought the truck I was getting 19 city 22-23 highway. After instaling the K/N, 23 in town 27 on the road. It is worth the money now that gas is $3.50 a gallon. I also put a Palimino 1250 crank up slide in camper 1' 1300 lbs, 21 -22 with the camper on the truck. I'm very happy with K/N.
