The Hot Rod Power Tour Rumbles with K&N

For car enthusiasts, the national Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour is the real deal. The participants range from having one car or a fleet of cars. Jay Leno provided his 1932 Deuce Convertible and guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepard drove his modified 1969 Dodge Charger.

This year’s seven city tour started in Kissimmee, Florida and ended in Englishtown, New Jersey with stops in Gainesville, Florida, Perry, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina, Salem, Virginia and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Patrick Thiele joined the southern leg of the 12th annual tour with his 1968 GMC Pick-up at Columbia, South Carolina. Thiele met the representatives from K&N Engineering’s Truck and Trailer program, part of the 1500 or so long-haulers that went to every stop on the tour.

“I use K&N Air Filters on all my cars and motorcycles,” said Thiele. “This was my 68’s maiden voyage and I couldn’t have a better air filter on it. After market parts are hard to find, but if I paid a million dollars for a filter, I don’t think I could have found anything better than K&N’s 60-0410, a custom air cleaner assembly designed for use on nostalgia engines.” K&N’ Engineering’s 60-0410 incorporates a K&N Air Filter and combines high air flow with great looks.

Mike White from Montgomery, Illinois did the restoration on my Tara- Blue GMC Pick-up, said Thiele. “We polished the aluminum on the K&N assembly to match the fins that are on my valve cover,” said Thiele. “I’ve always used K&N products; you can’t beat the performance, the cost and the warranty.”

Participants spend a lot of time admiring cars, discussing cars and whenever someone has a problem, working on cars. “There is not a lot of pressure on the Hot Rod Power Tour,” said Thiele. “This is not your typical auto show because cars are not in a glass bubble. We touch cars, help each other and even go through puddles with our prized possessions.”

K&N Engineering’s Marketing and Sales Program Manager Brett Kinsfather was on every leg of the 1300 plus mile tour in the K&N Truck and Trailer. “It’s really good to know your customers,” said Kinsfather. “I was able to really get to know the people who drive their classic or modified cars and who love their cars and our K&N products. There is a lot of camaraderie.”

Harish Sosa is from the city of Mumbai, India. Sosa e-mailed K&N and wrote, "There are thousands of vehicles here which suffer from lack of power and mileage, due to inefficient filters. I installed K&N's Replacement Air Filter and noticed and improvement in pick-up and torque. I am very happy with the performance of this wonderful K&N Filter. Now it's fun to drive my car in heavy traffic. I notice a difference when I shift and my acceleration has greatly improved." Sosa also requested that we manufacture more filters for cars in India. This release will help with his request and more are on the way.

Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum screen. The filters capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume air flow. These particles than cling to the outside of the filter and become part of the filtering media.

The pleating on K&N Filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need.

The 33-2910, replacement air filter, fits the following vehicles:

Enjoy a 14 + HP Gain on the Nissan Xterra, Pathfinder and Frontier with K&N FIPK

K&N Engineering has released a new 57-Series Generation II Fuel Injection Performance Kit (57-6014) for the 2005 to 2014 Nissan Xterra 4.0L V6, the 2005 to 2014 Nissan Pathfinder 4.0L V6 and the 2005 to 2014 Nissan Frontier 4.0L V6.

The 2005 to 2014 Nissan models are more powerful than their predecessors, modern but still rugged and functional. By replacing your factory air intake assembly with K&N's 57-Series FIPK, your engine will get more air with less restriction. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engines RPM range.

Dynamometer tests at K&N Engineering's lab show a 14.25 horsepower gain at 5075 for the 2005 Nissan Frontier 4.0 liter. Function and looks were part of K&N's development process for the 57-Series FIPK (57-6014).

"The factory intake tube is skinny and wide," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "We held onto the same theme for looks to give it the cool factor. We put a lot of thought in making the tube and we also made really good power. K&N engineers also made sure to keep the Nissan computer happy and placed the mass air sensor in a critical position."

The FIPK (57-6014) uses K&N's high-flow, washable and reusable air filter (RF-1014) which performs up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions). FIPK's also come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

"It's a piece of cake to put in," said Heck. "Most can do it in less than 90 minutes with simple hand tools."

K&N Engineering's Generation II 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (57-1540) replaces the factory air box, filter and intake tube. The result is more horsepower. K&N's dynamometer shows a 6.36 horsepower gain at 5274 RPM. By replacing your factory air intake assembly with K&N's FIPK air intake, the engine on the Liberty gets more air with less restriction.

Designed for the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6, K&N's FIPK (57-1540) has a big filter with a 7 1/2 inch base. "Access to the filter (RF-1048) is a piece of cake," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "But keeping all the factory parts in the right location was the biggest challenge for our engineers. The air box was under the water reservoir for the windshield wiper fluid. We built a tube heat shield and factored in all the parts and made it look right."

K&N's FIPK (57-1540) can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tolls and lasts up to 100,000 miles before service is required (depending on driving conditions). It also comes with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.
