Replacement Air Filter for many small engine applications

38-2014S Heavy Duty Replacement Air Filter

K&N's heavy duty air filter part number 38-2014S replaces a type of OEM filter known as ECO/SE. This filter was designed with a flow-through canister to cover the filter and allow air to flow from the top of the canister, through the filter and out the bottom into the engine's intake.

The filter is designed to fit a range of vehicles that use certain OEM replacement filters. The OEM air filters that K&N's 38-2014S replaces are listed below:

Baldwin PA3555
Carquest 88759
Donaldson P537452
Farr 114500002
Fleetguard AH1192
Fram CA8129
Hastings PA3555
Luber-Finer LAF22026
Napa 6759
Parker Hannifin 114500002
Racor 114500002
WIX 46759

The 38-2014S filter's hybrid synthetic material is colored and lofted on the outside. Air flows into the colored side and out the white side. K&N's design with air flow direction in mind allows for excellent filtration and engine protection through depth loading. Most disposable air filters only collect dirt and dust on the outer filtration surface. This can result in shorter service intervals when compared to a K&N filter.

The 38-2014S is an easy to clean filter. Just remove the 38-2014S from its mounting canister, soak it with cleaner then wash thoroughly with a power sprayer from the inside surface until all of the cleaner and dirt is removed. Blow it off with compressed air, let it dry then it is ready to go. See how easy K&N Heavy Duty air filters are to clean by watching K&N's Heavy Duty Air Filter Cleaning video. The filter is backed by a 3 year 300,000 mile warranty and only needs to be cleaned about once a year or when the filter restriction gauge reads 15” of water pressure.

K&N's E-4964 can be easily cleaned and reused. The new synthetic media is durable which makes washing a breeze.

K&N's Peter Biondo Notches Super Gas Victory and Makes NHRA History

Sep 28, 2010

With this latest victory Biondo now has been to 58 National NHRA finals and he's won 39 of those appearances.

In all of NHRA racing history only four drivers have ever won in five separate categories - a very elite club for sure - K&N sponsored driver Peter Biondo just became a proud platinum card carrying member at the third annual O'Reilly NHRA Nationals at zMax Dragway.

Peter Biondo's historic Super Gas win at zMax Dragway makes him one of only four drivers to ever win in four different NHRA categories.

"To win in the new category of Super Gas was fun and exciting on its own. Then, when I think about how it was historical for me to be included in such a small and talented group, that's what made this win so special. One of the most exciting times I have experienced at the races and I am happy K&N was a part of it."

Let's recap briefly and put some context into Peter Biondo remarking that this was one of his most exciting times racing ever, because that covers a great deal of territory. With this win Biondo has now been to 58 National NHRA Finals, 39 of which he's won. That's a lot of excitement from which to choose.

It was in round six eliminations in Super Gas at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series in Concord, North Carolina that Biondo made history, winning on a double-breakout with a 9.899 ET at 158.86 mph.

At eleven minutes after six, on Sunday evening when the Super Gas finals staged, the air temperature was still near 90 degrees, the relative humidity stood at 38 percent, and the temps on the track hovered at 112 degrees. There's never been a question about Biondo's driving prowess, but we wondered just how much math and science goes into winning under such daunting conditions.

"Measuring air temp, humidity and barometric pressures is certainly a big part of what we do. Accurately monitoring those readings along with density, altitude, wind speed and direction, and track conditions are the main focus for sportsman racers between rounds," explained Biondo. "Of course, knowing how to apply that information is equally as important."

Next up for the K&N driver is the NHRA National event in Reading, Pennsylvania. "Where I will again be running in the Super Gas and Super Stock Categories," adds Biondo.

NHRA World Champion Drag Racer Dan Fletcher Continues Family Tradition of Winning

Sep 28, 2010

Dan Fletcher has won 69 NHRA National events, three World Championships, and six Divisional titles.

In 1969, Dan Fletcher's father pulled into the Taylor Chevrolet dealership in Rochester New York, and drove off in a brand new 1969 Chevy Camaro. Little did this car know that someday, it would become the winningest car in NHRA history.

NHRA Drag Racer Dan Fletcher

The car went straight from the dealership to the race track, where it ran in Modified eliminator thru the mid 70's. As young Dan competed in Little League Baseball, and Pop Warner Football, priorities changed, and the Camaro was parked. When Dan turned 16 he found himself another 1969 Camaro to drive to High School, and was ready to start racing his pop's original Camaro. Running at the local Bracket races with tuning help from his father, Dan learned the craft of driving a racecar. By 1991, he was ready for the big leagues, so the Camaro went through some major changes, and evolved into a Super Stocker. Dan & his father entered their very first race in Montreal Quebec, and walked away with a runner-up finish. Sadly, Dan's father passed away in April of 1993. With the car in pieces, and no experience of actually working on the car, Dan made the commitment to continue on with what they had started.

Dan Fletchers' K&N sponored 1969 Chevy Camaro

In 1994, Dan entered the NHRA Nationals in Columbus Ohio and WON! Not to rest on the one victory, Dan decided to participate in the "Western Swing", a grueling 3 weeks of racing that goes thru Denver, Sonoma, and Seattle. Dan didn't win just one race, but all three, becoming the only sportsman driver in NHRA history to accomplish this feat.

Fast forward 16 years, and Dan is still driving, and winning in that original 1969 Camaro, so many times, that it is now the winningest car in NHRA history. Not satisfied with winning in the Super Stock class, Dan decided a few years ago to pull the High School driver Camaro out of the barn and turn that into a race car as well. He now competes and wins in both of his nearly identical 69 Camaro's. If that wasn't enough, Driving and winning a World Championship in the Competition Eliminator class also was in the cards. To Date, Dan has won 69 NHRA National events, three World Championships, and six Divisional titles.

Along the way, Dan found time to get married, and raise three kids; 20 year-old Thomas, 18 year old Timothy, and a 14 year old daughter named Taylor. With help from his wife Donna, all three kids have spent plenty of time at the track, and have learned from the best. Thomas' first race was an Open National at Maple Grove Raceway, where he wheeled the Family's Stocker to a Runner up Finish. Thomas followed that up with a win in Stock at the Keystone Nationals, the same race that Dan won in the Competition Eliminator class, making it only the 3rd time in history that a father & son have won at the same event. Next up was Timothy's turn. He took to the wheel of the family's Stocker and won the very first time driving that car, at the Division 1 race at Lebanon Valley New York. Timothy decided to try his luck earlier this year at his 1st NHRA National event, and scored a runner-up finish at Denver. Keep in Mind, Taylor is only two years away from earning her license.

K&N has been supporting Dan Fletcher for the past four years. 1st as an associate sponsor, then in 2009 becoming Dan's major sponsor. When asked about K&N, Dan made it clear that competing at this level without the help of companies like K&N is impossible. As a Professional Sportsman racer Dan relies on the best products on the market to continue winning. K&N is one of those companies. "K&N has tremendous products, they make the best oil filter in the world. We work in a dirty, dusty environment, and K&N protects the air that goes into my engines, and the oil that pumps thru them. When I pull the bearings down at the end if the season, they look like new. K&N is a great company to work with, and I'm proud to be associated with them". If Dan trusts his cars to K&N, so can you.
