K&N's Lifetime Replacement Air Filter for 2004 to 2011 Saab 9-3
K&N Engineering has released a new lifetime replacement air filter (33-2337) for the
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Saab 9-3 2.0L L4 and the 2006 to 2011 Saab 9-3 2.8L V6. The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter was tested on K&N's dyno and the power gain fell in line with what K&N typically sees for replacement filters.
Saab of Santa Ana, California carries K&N products for its Saab customers. "K&N
is one of the few aftermarket parts we carry," said parts manager Scott
Pritchett. "K&N filters are a highly recognizable product that customers want."
Pritchett said many of the mechanics at the dealership have K&N High Flow Air
Intake Kits on their personal vehicles. "K&N makes outstanding products, and K&N
products add value to our product, the Saab," he said.
The K&N filter is custom designed to fit in your existing factory air box.
Simply remove the disposable air filter and replace it with a K&N.
"Our mechanics will install K&N filters for our car customers," said Pritchett.
"We have not received one complaint and we are very happy K&N now has filters
available for our newer cars."
K&N's stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our
famous K&N Million-Mile Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle
will ever need.
Erion Racing’s Josh Hayes held off Yamaha’s Jason DiSalvo in a nine-lap shootout
to come in second in the Daytona 200 By Honda at Daytona International Speedway.
Jake Zemke of American Honda won the event.
Team Erion's Josh Hayes
Hayes was delighted to come in second. “The good news is American Honda is
not racing in that class for the rest of the season,” said team owner Kevin
Erion. “The other good news is we beat Yamaha.” Erion Racing is American Honda’s
official factory-supported race team.
Erion Racing used K&N Engineering’s Performance Replacement Air Filter (HA-6003)
on its CBR600RR at Daytona. “The K&N filter performed superbly,” said Kevin. “We
did not change it at all during the difficult 200 mile Daytona race.”
Motorcycle road racing is a demanding motorsport. “The AMA Superbike Series puts
the riders to the test. Competitors are in peak physical condition and must cope
with extreme demands of repetitive G-loads endured during maximum breaking,
wrestle lightweight, maximum-horsepower machines through high-speed corners at
the limit of traction and multi-process thousands of information bits received
through their hands, feet, knees, ears and eyes in mere fractions of a second,”
states a news release from Team Erion.
“We now know we can beat Yamaha, a full-factory team with a lot more money,”
said Kevin. “They are coming into every race with a huge economic scale and its
own in-house racing program. For instance, if we spend one million, they will
spend six or seven million and we have to compete against that.”
The K&N motorcycle filter allows us to push the envelope and get more horsepower, Kevin
said. “We have seen performance gains on our dynamometer, up to a 2 hp gain with
the K&N filter,” he said. “Anytime we can gain horsepower with the K&N filter
it’s cost effective.”
Team Erion's Honda CBR600RR
Kevin Erion was a competitive AMA rider in the late 1980s, winning two AMA
Pro Twins championships. His Team Erion has an impressive record in AMA road
racing. In the AMA’s big-bore Formula Xtreme Series, Erion Racing posted nine of
nine race wins in 1999; the most consecutive races won by a single rider (Kurtis
Roberts, six in 2000); the most consecutive pole positions (eight in 2000); and
the most class championships, four in five years. The team also won two 600
Supersport championships with the Honda CBR600 series.
In 2006, Team Erion is going after its first AMA Superstock title. “We’re
excited to be part of the K&N family,” said Kevin. “The K&N products fits the
model of Erion Racing, both are well constructed.”

The 2006 IHRA Mr. Gasket Pro-Am Tour is underway and Duck Tape Racing is working
on the championship chase.
Duck Tape Racing's 1980 Volare 360
Racer Michael Beard uses a K&N oil filter and K&N air cleaner on the teams
I/CM (I crate motor class) 1980 Stock Eliminator Volare. “The tracks are dusty
and we need K&N products to keep the dirt out of the engine,” said Beard. “They
work great.”
Beard wrote in an e-mail, “The Rockingham, North Carolina event is in the books.
In preparation for the new season, Sloan Racing Engines built a new 360 Magnum
crate motor for the Volare. We tested the new combination first at the
RaceWorks.com Spring Blast where over 3500 spectators and 400 racers enjoyed
excellent conditions, until the rain came. On the car’s maiden voyage, it ran a
7.08 in the 1/8 mile. Testing continued at Piedmont Dragway in Greensboro, North
Carolina, we netted a best of 6.99 at 97 mph in the 1/8 mile, well below the
current I/CM class World Record of a 7.15.”
To get from race to race Duck Tape Racing uses K&N Fuel Injection Performance
Kits (FIPK) and K&N Performance Oil Filters (HP-3002)
on its tow vehicles. “We pick up tow power on our 1997 C3500 Chevy Dually
because of the K&N filter,” said Beard.
“Rockingham, North Carolina opened its gates to 384 race teams for the Mr.
Gasket Pro-Am Tour the first weekend in March. The Volare began its record hunt
with a 7.05 right off the trailer. In order to officially claim a World Record,
the run must be backed up with a second run within 1% (a 7.12 in this case),”
Beard wrote. “Driver error led to an off-pace 7.144 on the back-up run, but
because it was still quicker than the record, the 7.05 provided the back-up for
a slower run. We now hold the I/CM World Record at 7.144. The record also gives
us 5 bonus points in the championship chase.”
Duck Tape Racing's 2000 Dakota Quad Cab
Michael Beard also runs his 2000 Dakota Quad Cab 4.7L in Bracket Racing
during the season. “I picked up 0.2 seconds in the quarter mile,” said Beard.
“With the K&N FIPK (57-1516KP)
gas mileage improved, we picked up ½ mile on the gallon and the Dakota’s
performance was better overall.”
Duck Tape Racing hopes to do well at the Piedmont Dragway 1/8 mile IHRA
Dragstrip near Julian, North Carolina, said Beard.
“K&N filters are compact and easy to maneuver,” said Beard. “The K&N products
are well built and easy to install. We use K&N oil filters on all our team
vehicles.”

Cruisers know about cool looks but serious street cruisers also want power. K&N
Engineering has a Performance Air Cleaner (RK-3916) for the 2002-2008 Honda VTX1800 designed with a custom look and serious power.

K&N's RK-3926 on Honda VTX1800
K&N offers its custom chromed billet air filter assemblies for
your metric cruiser. The stunning new lid combines billet aluminum which is
chrome plated for a long lasting shine while easy to maintain on your
motorcycle. There are three choices, RK-3906 has a mirror finish and RK-3916 is our ball groove design. RK-3926 is pictured below with a flamed design.
K&N air cleaners for motorcycles feature our unique High-Flow Technology with an
original K&N air filter for serious performance. The custom assemblies' overall
size is greatly increased to allow more air flow improving acceleration and
service intervals.
"A K&N filter this size is designed to be cleaned at approximately 25,000
miles," said K&N Engineering Powersports Brand Manager John Jump. "A typical
rider may not ride 25,000 miles during the life of the vehicle."
Installation is very easy on your bike and should take between 45 to 60 minutes
for completion. Due to the high volume of air intake it may be necessary to
remap the fuel injectors for optimum performance.

K&N Engineering released a new MX XStream, Replacement High-Flow Air
Filter for the 2003-2015 Yamaha WR250F and WR450F (YA-4503). This new filter is great for
enthusiasts and off-road riders and racers alike. The innovative and unique
filter design makes installation, changing and cleaning a breeze.
K&N's MX XStream Replacement High-Flow Air Filter for the 2003 to 2013 Yamaha WR250F and WR450F
K&N invented the pleated cotton filter more than 35 years ago for the
power sports market. Designed to increase airflow, K&N filters offer more surface area (than foam filters), increased filtration and optimum air flow.
Installation of the K&N XStream Filter is easy. With the top removed, you can
easily press the sides together to slide it in between your frame rails and
install it into the air-box without the oily mess associated with many other air
filters.
"This filter comes with a gasket, which makes it unnecessary to run grease at
the base of the filter," said K&N Powersports Brand Manager, John Jump. "It's a
nice benefit and makes for a very clean filtration system. On this particular
filter, you mount the gasket directly to the airbox."
Kyle Krause, who currently races Expert in the Best in the Desert and WORCS Series, has been racing for 19 years now. "I ran the new MX XStream on a 450," said Kyle. "I noticed more power right away and the filter is very easy to install and clean.
Cleaning is a simple process and K&N offers a filter care service kit (sold
separately) with everything needed to clean and re-oil your filter numerous
times. K&N's larger filtration area offers riders longer service intervals
meaning more riding and less cleaning.
