K&N Carbon Fiber Composites

Leave it to K&N to come up with products that have both cosmetic appeal as well as deliver outstanding performance. K&N's Carbon fiber composites have attractive cosmetic appeal, and the outstanding stiffness to weight ratio that is needed to stay competitive in today's racing industry. Carbon fiber composites have taken the method traditionally associated with fiberglass and perfected it to a precise science with outstanding performance as the result. The process of advanced composites controls resin and fiber content to exacting tolerances. Though traditional methods have proven successful in producing a variety of products; advanced composite products can be engineered considerably stronger and assembled with even greater accuracy. K&N's Advanced Composite Division offers products to really get excited about.

Carbon fiber, as a raw material, has been treated to handle heat from below 0 to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. In most cases the limiting factor is the matrix or resin system, not the reinforcement material such as carbon fiber, fiberglass or Kevlar. Epoxies are no longer a simple brush on mix of basic compounds. Chemists have spent years maximizing the function of the matrix by blending epoxies with ceramics and a number of other ingredients. It is a precise science where strength, durability, function and temperature all have to be considered. Our products are engineered with specific resin systems for application specific needs. These products must take into consideration such things as: fire retardant resins, ceramic blends to handle high heat and flexible systems for damage tolerance. This same kind of consideration goes into everything K&N makes.

K&N Carbon Fiber Hood Scoops, Pans, Liners & Plugs

NHRA Pro Stock Carbon Fiber Composite Hood Scoop

This ultra strong and light carbon fiber scoop was designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This design provides an 18 lb. decrease in drag. The K&N scoop also produces more even air distribution inside the scoop, which helps naturally aspirated engines run better and produce more power. In addition to NHRA's Pro Stock class, the scoop can also be used in Super Stock, Super Gas, Top Sportsman, Pro Mod classes and other racing applications. Find K&N performance air filters for intake scoops on the K&N Racing Scoop Filters page.

K&N Composite Carbon Fiber Dragster Intake Scoop

K&N carbon fiber intake scoops were designed with the latest technology available by taking the air principals and the cosmetic appeal of carbon fiber to produce an attractive air scoop. Find K&N performance air filters for intake scoops on the K&N Racing Scoop Filters page.
