K&N Provides Owners of the 2007, 2008 & 2009 Ford Mustang GT with an Option for More HP

One of the most wanted vehicles by consumers in 2005 is listed as the redesigned Ford Mustang GT with retro styling. There are color options, interior options and power options for every buyer.

When it comes to buying a new car, the selling term "options" means a whole lot more than satellite radio and a DVD video with surround sound. K&N Engineering has designed a custom aerodynamically engineered tube that gives the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Mustang GT even more power options.

Each K&N 63-2565 Intake Kit uses a hand designed high density polyethylene (a durable type of plastic) intake tube that is rotationally molded and virtually eliminates air path restriction by replacing the air filter and the entire air path to the engine. This helps the Mustangs natural horsepower. Once installed K&N tests show the estimated horsepower gain: 15.26 HP @ 6000 RPM.

The 2005 and 2006 Ford Mustang GT shows a gain of 15.26 horsepower at 6000 rpm with K&N's performance air intake 57-2565.

K&N Engineering has adapted the hydrocarbon trap designed by Ford into this new intake for applications that utilize it. As the vehicle stops, the hydrocarbon gases that have not burned, along with the fuel that is still inside the intake manifold work back through the engine. By incorporating this honeycomb looking hydrocarbon trap into the intake, these gases are restricted from escaping into the environment as in the factory intake system. Also once this kit is installed, K&N guarantees more horsepower.

It takes 90 minutes or less to install, and can last up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions. There is also a million mile limited warranty on the K&N 63 Series Intake Kits also known as AirCharger Air Intakes.

The K&N intake kit, installed on the Ford Mustang GT is an aggressive powerful addition to an icon.

K&N Air Intake Kit Provides a Power Boost for the 2003-2004 Toyota 4 Runner

If you own a 2003 or 2004 Toyota 4 Runner with a 4.7L engine you are in luck! K&N recently released a new 77-Series intake system, part number 77-9022KP, for the 2003-2004 Toyota 4 Runner which is guaranteed to provide more horsepower. In fact K&N tests have shown a horsepower gain of 12.77 HP @ 5007 RPM for this intake. You can especially feel this added power and torque when accelerating and when towing a load. This intake, like all other K&N intakes, was engineered specifically to work within the vehicle's computer specifications while maximizing power and allowing air to flow with little restriction. One noticeable design characteristic of this air intake is the reduction in diameter just before the mass air sensor. It would be far easier to use the same diameter throughout but that won't provide the best engineered solution!

You would go through a lot of clogged paper filters before this K&N filter will need servicing. There is also a million mile limited warranty on all K&N 77-series high performance air intake systems. K&N manufactures hundreds of air intake kits.

This 77-Series air intake was engineered specifically for the Hummer H3 and its computer's electronic specifications. The intake has a slightly smaller diameter on the filter end with engineered components strategically placed to ensure air flow characteristics fall within the vehicle's computer parameters while maximizing power at the rear wheels. The design incorporates a heat shield that takes advantage of the existing stock factory inlet to bring in cold air outside the engine compartment. The intake's polished finish, cost, and ease of installation make it one of the best horsepower additions available for the H3.

The 77-3044KP can be obtained through most national auto parts store chains as well as through many performance shops, auto repair facilities, and online stores. Go to www.KNFilters.com to find a K&N dealer near you.

Better engine efficiency typically results in improved fuel mileage as well.

K&N Supported Racer Grabs 2005 British Title

Phil Cooper, one of K&N’s UK supported racers has scooped both the British Autograss Championship class nine title and the prestigious overall title.  Driving the 300bhp Lexus touring car engined special, the 20 year old beat off strong opposition from over 500 competitors to snatch the title by one point in the final race of a long season.  This adds to his 2003 B.A.S. class nine, 2005 North of England, 2005 MAP Open, 2005 Dash for Cash, 2005 Yorkshire Open and 2005 Evesham Open titles.

A grand total of 51 wins from 70 starts and a further 10 podium finishes ensured a great season for the team.  Phil stated he was delighted to win the title despite some setbacks earlier in the year as he thanked all his sponsors especially K&N!  Cooper MotorSport uses the K&N universal airbox system (56-9188-1) mounted directly on the trumpets of the throttle bodies.
