Mazda redesigned the Mazda3 for 2010 to 2012. Changes are more than skin-deep for this sporty, yet economical, car. New to the Mazda3 is the 2.5L engine found in the 3s and hatchback models. The larger 2.5L engine is carried over from the 3's larger sibling, the Mazda6. 2010 to 2012 Mazda3 models are well-engineered machines. However, K&N engineers are constantly in pursuit of more power. After looking under the hood, K&N engineers knew that, with their expertise, these cars were capable of more.

K&N intake 69-6013TTK replaces the intake tract with a powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube and a K&N High-Flow Air Filter for improved air delivery. 69-6013TTK incorporates an application specific heat shield, isolating the air filter from the warm air under the hood. This intake system provides improved performance and a durable powder coated aluminum intake tube.

The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is nearly 7 more horsepower at the wheels. K&N's Research and Development Department tested a 2010 to 2012 Mazda 3 with a 2.5L L4 engine on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases with a peak horsepower gain of 6.67 horsepower @ 5,604 RPM! Equally important is the extra 6.25 lb-ft of torque this car picked up at 5,604 RPM.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped High-Flow Air Filter part RU-4960XD.  It captures harmful particles, provides high airflow, and long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions.

For increased protection and style, K&N intake 69-6013TTK can be used with a K&N Drycharger® filter wrap. Drycharger filter wraps are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the air filter. Available in black, blue, red or yellow, K&N Drycharger filter wraps can be color coordinated with a car's finish.

69-6013TTK is a complete system which takes about 90 minutes or less to install with common hand tools. It uses stock mounting points, requires no drilling, and is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

Honda developed the CB 1000R and the CBF1000F as stylish bikes with no-fairing that are powered by a 998cc inline four motor. The 998cc inline four is a longer stroke engine than the one available on the current stroke Honda CBR.

In order to enhance the riders motorcycle performance and give riders the option to use the world's best air filter, K&N developed filter number HA-1009. K&N's HA-1009 is a high performance air filter designed to fit directly into the 2009 to 2015 Honda CB1000R and the 2010 Honda CBF1000F factory air boxes. Upgrading to this air filter has never been easier. Riders can simply replace their OE air filter with the HA-1009 and ride. Since this air filter was designed specifically for these factory air boxes, your motorcycle should not require any adjustments to the fuel delivery system for proper functionality.

The HA-1009 is shaped in a way that utilizes most of the factory air box area and it has an opening that was engineered to provide a highly effective seal against the air box flange. Like every K&N motorcycle air filter, the HA-1009 is both washable and reusable. K&N's HA-1009 can be easily cleaned and re-oiled using K&N Re-charger cleaning kit number 99-5000 with aerosol oil or Re-charge kit number 99-5050 with squeeze bottle oil. These cleaning kits include both the air filter cleaner and air filter oil. Once contaminants exceed the wire mesh cleaning the air filter is recommended.

This air filter is both backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and it is made in the USA. This air filter will provide outstanding protection and high air-flow for many years of riding and should be the last air filter you will ever need to purchase for your Honda motorcycle.

Boost Performance with Washable K&N Heavy Duty Filters for Tiffin Motor Homes

K&N's new HD air filters are designed to have the same efficiency as the standard OEM replacement HD filters while flowing up to 15% more air. In addition, K&N's HD air filters do not require the use of oil and can be easily cleaned multiple times with power sprayers or commercial parts washers. This specific filter mounts flange side up within the included 90 degree canister. It comes with a specially designed drain valve in the bottom for allowing water to escape.

The filter itself is a reversed flow filter, engineered to flow the air through the inside to the outside. This reversed flow heavy duty air filter fits many applications including some Tiffin motor homes.  It has a 7 inch inlet flange and a 7 inch outlet flange.  The hybrid filter media is a lofted red color synthetic material on the inside of the filter.  This design allows for excellent filtration and engine protection by depth loading dirt and contaminants into the media itself rather than loading it only on the surface. This is unlike most disposable air filters which only collect dirt and dust on the filtration outer surface, which can cut off air flow and performance in a shorter period of time.  Restriction also works your engine harder.

Easy cleaning of the 38-2009R is a key feature of this filter's design. Unlike other K&N products that require gentle washing, the 38-2009R only needs to be removed from its mounting canister and soaked with cleaner on the inside (dirty side) of the filter, then washed thoroughly with a power sprayer on the outside (clean side) surface until all of the cleaner and dirt is removed. After drying the filter is ready for use and backed with K&N's factory warranty for 300,000 miles.

Tiffin motor homes and other vehicles that use a Farr 094973007, Racor 094973007, or Parker 094973007 air filter can benefit greatly from the K&N new washable 38-2009R air filter.  Other manufacturers sometimes refer to this filter as an ECO BC series air filter or a behind the cab replacement intake air filter.

The 38-2009R heavy duty air filter fits the following applications:
Baldwin PA30073
Farr 094973007
Farr 94973007
Parker Hannifin 094973007
Racor 094973007

Bud Kaeding Wins at Knoxville Raceway and the Ultimate Challenge in Oskaloosa

Bud Kaeding proved he has no problem getting it done without a wing by winning the Knoxville Non-Wing Nationals at the famed Knoxville Raceway.
Bud Kaeding proved he has no problem getting it done without a wing by winning the Knoxville Non-Wing Nationals at the famed Knoxville Raceway.
Campbell, California's Brandon "Bud" Kaeding has been smoking hot this year, putting together some of the most impressive stats of his career in 2010. The three-time and defending USAC Silver Crown champ recently continued his scorching pace in the Midwest, highlighted by a pair of huge victories.
With a 42 point lead Kaeding looks to become the first ever four-time USAC Silver Crown Series champion.
With a 42 point lead Kaeding looks to become the first ever four-time USAC Silver Crown Series champion.


While competing with some of the top non-wing sprint car drivers across the country Kaeding showed that he can still get it done without the wing, by scoring a victory at the Knoxville Raceway Non-Wing Nationals, and then he backed it up with another big triumph during the Ultimate Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa.

"You couldn't ask for a better couple nights than we had two weeks ago," said the driver of the BK Motorsports number 29 Maxim 410 sprint car. "This year has been great, I think I am jelling with the team's I am racing with, and I am getting the chance to bring my same crew guys around each car I race. There is a huge difference between the two cars, the driving styles and footwork are so opposite from each other. But I love driving anything especially when we are running good, it makes it a lot more fun."

"Any time you can win a race at Knoxville it is a special thing no matter what you're driving and then winning at Oskaloosa was pretty awesome too," added Kaeding. "The Ultimate Challenge has become such a big race and to get it on my resume is pretty cool."

Kaeding extended his current points lead to 42, as he looks to become the first ever four-time USAC Silver Crown Series champion with just four nights of racing left in the season.

"Even though we haven't won a Silver Crown race yet this year we have been really consistent and have been fast every night," said Kaeding. "It would be a big accomplishment if we could bring home that fourth title and we're in a great position to do that, so hopefully everything works out the last few races and we can make some history. Winning the first one was like a dream come true, and now to be going for our fourth, well, it's a huge deal for me and my entire team."

This weekend Kaeding returns to winged sprint car competition in the 50th running of the Johnny Key Classic on Saturday night at the Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, California. Kaeding, now 30, was the winner of the prestigious event in 1996, when he 16-years-old.

"I really would like to thank the guys at K&N, we have had a long going relationship and I want to let you know it helps us out big time. Thanks for all the continued support."
