The 69-8004TTK features a aluminum intake tube in powder coated black and a K&N carbon fiber top filter (RP-5113). Our lifetime washable and reusable air filter is isolated by a steel heat shield to provide fresh air to the engine.

The horsepower gain is also aided by the radius adaptor’s design as it smoothly takes the 5 inch flange of the air filter and connects it with the air intake tube. The air intake tube has a CNC precision machined billet mass air adaptor.

The high-flow technology invented by K&N provides the best balance of airflow and filtration. Designed to be installed with simple hand tools in 90 minutes or less, our K&N air intake systems are backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The 69-8004TTK air intake system fits the following Subaru Imprezas:
2014 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5L
2013 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5L
2012 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.5L

IHRA Division 1 Summit Pro-Am Tour at Tioga Center, New York

Oct 24, 2008

It was fall at the Skyview Drags 1/8 mile strip in Tioga Center, New York when racer Michael Beard left North Carolina to attend the final double header on the IHRA Division 1 Pro-Am Tour. “The chill in the air helped offset the high altitude of the track,” said Beard. “I made the trip to try and reset a world record.”

Beard knew it would be difficult race at the track built on top of a mountain. “I had to try,” he said. “I also knew it was possible.” Beard set up his Volare fast and just missed the record. His numbers were good enough for the number one qualifier position. “That was my first one in my car,” he said. “It was a surprise and it felt good.”

Summit Pro-Am Winner's Circle for Michael Beard and his 1980 Volare

Beard’s 1980 Plymouth Volare is powered by a Mopar 360 Magnum crate motor, tipping the scales at 3600 pounds to run in the H/CM (Crate Motor) class in stock eliminator. “We use K&N oil filters, K&N air filters and K&N valve breather covers,” said Beard. “I’m so happy to be able to get the number one qualifier position for a great sponsor like K&N Filters.”

Beard advanced to the third round of competition in the first race. He was knocked off the pole in the second event of the double-header weekend by a few thousandths of a second, but made it to the third round. Despite a near-perfect .001 reaction time, his opponent ran dead-on his dial in.

Beard finished the 2008 IHRA Drag Racing season in 6th place in the World Super Stock as well as 2nd in IHRA Division 3 Super Stock. In Stock Eliminator, Beard finished 5th in IHRA Division 1, and 24th in the world.

He plans to close out the year with a few big money bracket races in November.

Futuristic V REX Cruiser Goes Global with K&N Air Filters

Oct 24, 2008

Think of a robot that looks like an animal about to roar and jump and you’ll see the unconventional Travertson V-REX. These futuristic type motorcycles are designed, created and assembled in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Travertson V REX is powered by a genuine Harley Davidson vrod motor

State of the art V REX motorcycle only uses K&N filters

Designers Christian Travert and Tim Cameron use Harley-Davidson parts including the VROD motor, the speedometer, the transmission and wiring harness as well as the switches. “Aside from the engine, tires and K&N filters we make everything in house with Harley-Davidson parts,” said Nicole Travert, Director of Business Development at Travertson. “We tool everything else on site.”

V REX is 9 feet long and a fat tired cruiser

V REX is sold in the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Estonia, Spain and Dubai with K&N filters

Travert designed a cast-aluminum frame structure that doubles as the fuel tank. There is also a framework of steel tubes which stretch over the engine. The wheelbase is of the V-Rex is over nine feet long. “It’s easy to handle,” said Travert. “It feels like you are sitting on a moped. The center of gravity was designed so that it is stable at low and high speeds.”

The V-REX has a chassis and shape unique to anything else on the road, with A-list celebrity looks it is in a class of its own. “We just filmed a pilot series on the History Channel,” said Travert. “The show is all about motorcycle technology.

We knew our American made bike would start a stir in the motorcycle industry, but we’ve caused a tidal wave.” As part of that global tidal wave, Travertson ships the V-REX to Switzerland, Germany, Estonia, Spain and Dubai. “We only use the best on our bikes,” said Travert. “There is no better filter on the market than K&N.”

Some of the Travertson V-REX Specifications are:
