For allergy sufferers, the K&N VF2020 Cabin Air Filter will make the 5th generation Ford Mustang a more pleasant place to be

The original idea behind the Ford Mustang was to give young buyers a sporty car that could be customized by the factory. Prior to its arrival in 1964, a car's equipment was determined by the model line: Custom, Deluxe etc. This new pony car however, could be had with all sorts of exciting options, and it literally introduced the idea of ordering equipment a la carte. One of the available features was the "Ford Air Conditioner" for $277.20 ($2,129.36 in today's money). This rare luxury item sucked air in from the outside, forced it over a chunk of ice the size of a glacier, then blasted cold air into your face--bugs dust and all. By the time the 5th generation Ford Mustang came along in 2005, the engineers in Dearborn (the Detroit suburb where Ford is based) had replaced that antiquated HVAC system, with a modern ventilation system that used a paper filter to keep dirt, dust, and other allergens from entering the cabin. However, if you don't change said OEM cabin air filter regularly, you could be breathing in years of accumulated gunk.

Every 2005-2014 Ford Mustang GT, Shelby, V6 is fitted with a thick paper cabin air filter that lives behind an access panel on the firewall. It's designed to remove contaminants from the air before it flows into the cabin. Problem is, these filters collect the dirt on the folded paper surface, and over time, all of that caked up dirt will reduce the amount of air that can flow through the filter and can even create a musty, stale smell in your Mustang's interior.

A K&N VF2020 cabin air filter on the other hand, uses a special synthetic filter material that's been electrostatically charged to attract and hold dirt. As air flows through the K&N cabin air filter, dirt and allergen particles become trapped in the synthetic fibers, and the electrostatic charge helps hold them in place. This design allows for increased airflow, even when the filter gets dirty. Then it can be cleaned simply about every 12-months or 12,000 miles (depending on road conditions) using the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. During allergy season, you can also use the Cleaning Spray and Refresh Spray to quickly remove dirt and allergens and restore the electrostatic properties of the filter.

Because of its increased filtration efficiency, the K&N VF2020 cabin air filter traps dirt, dust, pollen, mold, spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens. If you suffer from allergies, then you know how important it is to remove irritants from the air you breathe. Each K&N cabin air filter is also covered by the 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so you know it will continue to work for a very long time.

And remember, K&N makes an entire line of Ford Mustang performance filtration parts that can help turn your pony car into a real thoroughbred. You can view all the air intakes that K&N makes for the Ford Mustang at the Air Intake Systems for the Ford Mustang page and all the air filters that K&N makes for the Ford Mustang at the Air Filters for the Ford Mustang page. You can view all the K&N performance products for any vehicle by using the Search by Vehicle tool and you can find a local K&N retailer by plugging your location into the K&N Dealer Search as well.

Eighty percent of new trucks built today have cabin filters, including the Nissan midsize Pathfinder, Frontier, Xterra and Navara, all of which can use the K&N VF1001.

You've got work to do, deadlines to meet, stuff to be moved, commutes to complete. Ask a busy man who just hopped out of his Silverado 1500 if it has a truck cabin air filter and he may shrug, saying he has no idea. Ask a mom with four teens in her Yukon Denali if she has had the cabin filter serviced this year, and she may ask if that is the same as an air conditioning filter.

Many truck cabin air filters are located behind the glove box, as is the VF2005, which fits the Toyota Tacoma.

Who knows if your truck has a cabin air filter? Do you have time to care? And should you? In a single word: yes.

Air pollution is a health issue for the world, and will be forever. As nations around the globe tackle their individual air quality issues, truck cabin filters are a first line of defense against what is still out there. They help everyone, not only asthma and allergy sufferers, the very young and the elderly. They also help keep your truck's ventilation and air conditioning system healthy by providing a clean, unrestricted flow of air.

Does your truck have a cabin filter?
Consult your owner's manual, visit the manufacturer's website, or ask your dealer if your truck has a cabin filter. More than 80 percent of vehicles built today will have an air conditioning filter. They all work, but some work better than others.

All K&N truck cabin air filters, exemplified by the VF2044 for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Yukon Denali, are constructed out of a special non-woven synthetic material, supported by wire mesh, offering greater filter surface area and sturdiness for regular cleanings.

Truck cabin air filter location will vary by vehicle year, make, and model but is generally installed in one of three places. Most often a cabin filter can be found under the hood near the windshield, underneath the dashboard, or behind the glove box.

It's OK that you may be unaware of this relatively new addition to your truck's cabin air intake system. Cabin air filters have gradually become standard OEM equipment since the turn of the 21st century, so they are a modern convenience that also has health benefits and are simple to maintain by replacing them. Most cabin air filters can be replaced without tools but some require basic hand tools to open the cabin air filter compartment.

For a successful cleaning of your K&N truck cabin air filter, use the 99-600 Refresher Kit and let the filter dry completely before spraying with the refresher spray.

Discarding and installing a new one is easy, but they just choke the landfills. K&N has facilitated a greener approach to maintenance since 2014, offering a thrifty replacement truck cabin air filter that is washable and reusable, such as the K&N VF2044 for the Yukon Denali and Silverado, or the VF2005 for the Toyota Tacoma. So let's find out about cabin filters.

What are truck cabin air filters and how do they work?
Cabin air filters were first actively developed in the late 1980s in Europe and Japan, initially out of concern for protecting sensitive drivers and passengers from inhaling pollen and dust. This concern quickly expanded to the need for protecting us all against air contaminated with diesel soot and gaseous substances in metropolitan areas with lots of, um, truck traffic (plus uncombusted industrial smogs) that release hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxides, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and benzene, to name the headliners of the pollutant short list.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) testing and manufacturing standards were drafted in 1994 and updated in 2001 for particulate and odor-reducing functions of cabin filters. The filters K&N produces traps particles and helps to reduce odors. Examples are the K&N VF1001 for Nissan Frontier and Pathfinder and the VF3012 for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango.

Many stock cabin air filters are thick, folded paper or some combination of paper and fibers. They are a physical barrier to trap dust, pollen, leaves and other debris and reduce the flow of chemically contaminated air that makes it into the ventilation and air conditioning system. The particles sit on the surface of the filter and eventually build up, forming their own layer, and reducing the incoming flow of air. To keep the air clean in the cabin, these filters are intended to be discarded at least annually.

K&N introduced the washable, reusable cabin air filter in 2014 and is designing new ones every day.

K&N truck cabin air filters are a single layer of thermally bonded nonwoven synthetic material held in a fan-fold shape, surrounded by molded urethane frame with wire screening. The filter itself has been electrostatically charged to attract and hold dirt. As air flows through the K&N cabin air filter, dirt and allergen particles become trapped in the synthetic fibers, and the electrostatic charge helps hold them in place. This design allows for increased airflow, even as the filter gets dirty. The construction of the K&N cabin filter is intended to allow it to be removed, washed, recharged, and reused, as often as needed, over the lifetime of the truck.

The K&N washable cabin air filter is the first of its kind. Watch the K&N washable cabin air filters overview video for more information on how cabin air filters work.

Why do truck cabin filters need maintenance?
It may be a worn old saying, but "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is as relevant to vehicle health and safety as it is to personal wellness. Just as you change the oil and refresh the fluids in the engine, the rest of the truck's systems need regular check-ups and cleanings. The concept is not exactly "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but following a preventive routine keeps parts from wearing or breaking, and keeps the truck on the road longer.

Besides creating an uncomfortable environment for occupants by no longer trapping dust, fungus, spores, and bacteria, a clogged truck cabin air filter can also contribute to moldy odors and mildew in the cabin, and put a strain on the heating and air conditioning systems. This is a great reason to perhaps coordinate cabin filter changes with annual or semi-annual A/C check-ups.

You can simply remove, discard, and replace the OEM cabin filter with the same stock version, purchased from the dealer at dealership prices. Or, you can invest in a K&N cabin air filter that is washable, reusable, and guaranteed with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N cabin air filters are engineered to meet factory filtration requirements, do not void new vehicle warranties, and are designed to fit precisely into the stock cabin filter compartment. Detailed installation instruction sheets are included with each filter and installation videos are often provided on the specific product web page for the filter that matches your vehicle.

Cleaning your K&N washable cabin air filter works best if you use of the 99-6000 K&N refresher kit and follow these simple steps:

1. Remove the filter from your vehicle
2. Spray the cabin filter cleaner onto the filter
3. Rinse the filter with water to remove all dirt
4. Air-dry naturally for 20-30 minutes
5. Apply K&N cabin air filter Refresher™ to the filter media
6. Re-install the filter back into your vehicle

The keys to a successful service are thoroughly rinsing the cabin filter, letting it dry completely, and using K&N’s Refresher spray. The spray maintains the electrostatic charge so the filter can continue to help capture many types of mold, mildew, spores, fungus, bacteria, and germs while helping to control odors.

Vantage GTE is a version of the V8 Vantage road car and retains the same aluminum chassis, the core of the engine, cylinder block, cylinder heads and crankshaft of the road model.

When you hear the words, “Aston Martin,” what comes into mind? Many of you would probably say James Bond, the fictitious character created by Ian Fleming, former spy for the British Secret Service and author of the James Bond series of spy novels. After all Bond did have a license to kill and he drove an Aston Martin.

Many others of you probably think of the rich tradition of the Aston Martin nameplate and its racing teams that have been successful since its inception in 1913 when co-founder Lionel Martin competed in hill climb races at Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire England.

Today there is a factory racing team that competes in a series of international events including:

• Six Hours of Silverstone
• Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps
• Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans
• Six Hours of the Nurburgring
• Six Hours of Mexico
• Six Hours of Circuit of the Americas
• Six Hours of Fuji
• Six Hours of Shanghai
• Six Hours of Bahrain
• Twenty Four Hours of Nurburgring

It also competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship Series and the Avon Tyres British GT Championship Series.

Besides the factory team, Aston Martin competes in racing events with partner teams including:

• TRG-AMR North America
• Academy Motorsport
• Brussels Racing
• Craft Bamboo Racing
• Beechdean Motorsport
• Young Drive AMR
• Motorbase Performance
• Strata 21
• Stratton Motorsport
• TF Sport
• ALFAB Racing
• Leonard Motorsport

Moreover, it participates in events with customer teams including:

• Adrian Johnson Racing
• ARED Motorsport
• AFC Aston Martin ST. Gallen
• Automatic Racing
• HRT Performance
• License to Race
• Mathol Racing
• Nexus Racing
• Vantage Racing
• Yas Racing

The factory team uses three cars in its racing campaign –- the Vantage GTE, the Vantage GT3, and the Vantage GT4.

The GTE features the same aluminum chassis, engine core, cylinder block and heads and the crankshaft as the road model. The racing version weighs about 400 kg less than the road model, coming in at a light 1245 kg. Weight savings were due to the use of carbon fiber panels, which replaced the aluminum used in the body of the road car. It is also lighter because such items as the electronically controlled leather seats, in-car entertainment and sound proofing that are on the road car are missing from the racecar. A lightweight V8 engine that generates 480 bhp and 500Nm of torque serves as the powertrain.

Vantage GT4 is the most popular GT4 car in the world. More than 100 cars have been produced and are currently competing in race series worldwide.

The Vantage GT3 features an enhanced version of Aston Martin’s 6.0-liter V12 engine that generates more than 600 bhp with 700 Nm of torque. For 2016, the car has been fitted with new cylinder heads and camshaft and an improved oil and water radiator with much better airflow and cooling capabilities.

The car competes in a number of international racing series including:

• The ADAC GT Masters
• Nurburgring
• VLN
• Blancpain Endurance Series
• The British GT
• The Japanese Super GT
• Malaysian Super Series
• Asian Le Mans Series
• European Le Mans Series
• Brazilian Endurance Belcar
• Open GT
• Pirelli World Challenge

Equipped with the same bonded aluminum chassis of the Vantage road car, the GT3 is very light with stiff structure. It features a shorter wheelbase and lower engine position than the road version contributing to better handling and performance. The GT4 is perhaps the most popular racecar in the world. More than 100 units were manufactured and are currently competing in race series around the world.

Vantage GT3 is powered by a modified version of the Aston Martin production 6.0-liter V12 engine. It produces more than 600 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. Its position in the car has been changed slightly compared to the road model to achieve the best weight balance.

The racecar is based on the Vantage GTE road car and includes the same chassis, V8 powertrain and drive train along with a new 7-speed semi-automatic gearbox that permits quicker shift speeds. The springs and dampers of the road model have been enhanced for racing and include stiffened front and rear anti-roll bars and the ability to incorporate optional rose-jointed wishbones if required. The racing incarnation of the vehicle is 300 kg lighter than the road model and the 4.7-liter V8 engine generates more than 400 bhp.

The drivers for the factory racing team include:

Nicki Thiim, a resident of Germany, is the 2014 LE Mans GTE AM champion and WEC GTE Am drivers’ champion; 2013 Porsche Supercup winner; and winner of the 2013 24-hours of Nurburgring.

Marco Sorensen, a resident of England, was the Lotus F1 test and reserve driver in 2014 and winner of the 2014 GP2 Championship.

Darren Turner lives in England and is the 2007-2008 Le Mans GTI Champion and has achieved multiple wins in the GTE Pro Victories in WEC.  He has been an AMR works driver since 2004.

Jonny Adam is a resident of England and is the 2013 and 2015 British GT champion, the 2007-2008 SEAT CUPRA champion and won the first race in the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in 2012.

Fernando Rees lives in Brazil and is the 2012 WEC GTE Am champion, 2010 European LMS GT1 champion.

Richie Stanaway lives in England and is the 2011 German Formula 3 champion, 2010 ADAC Formula Masters champion.

Paul Dalla Lana, a resident of Canada, has won two WEC GTE Am Drivers’ championships and is the multiple winner of the World Endurance Championship.

Pedro Lamy, who resides in Portugal, is the multiple winner of the N24 and World Endurance Championship and the 2012 Class Winner of Le Mans.

Mathias Lauda lives in Spain and achieved podium finishes in the 2012 GTI World Championship and is a multiple winner of the World Endurance Championship.

Ross Gunn, who lives in England, is the 2011 and 2012 British Kart Champion, finished fourth in the 2012 World Karting Championships, is the 2015 British GT GT4 Champion and is the 2015 Aston Martin Racing Evolution Academy winner.

So far in 2016 the Aston Martin factory racing team has won the Le Mans World Endurance Championship, also known as the 24 Hours of Le Mans; the second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship known as the 6 Hours of Spa Francordchamps; took first and second in the European Le Mans Series; took a double podium finish at the FIA WEC season opener; and a top four finish at the GTD class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Jane Thurmond’s LS1 powered ’64 Corvette “Scarlett” ready for OPTIMA Search for the Ultimate Street Car - Pike’s Peak International Raceway

Just weeks after the Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb of 2016, Pike’s Peak International Raceway was home to OPTIMA Search for the Ultimate Street Car (OSUSC) and this seasons fifth event. With a smaller field of participants, you might expect the competition to be a little less stiff, for lack of a better term. But that wasn’t the case. In fact, we saw driver’s pushing harder to secure their position with regards to the points championship or make up ground on some well needed points.

Jake Rozelle’s Lingenfelter Built LS7 Powered 1969 Camaro poised for the win.

K&N race team driver, Jake Rozelle, the youngest driver on the team, had one goal in mind; points championship. Rozelle started the season out with a win at Thunderhill earning him the first OUSCI invite of the 2016 season. Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Pike’s Peak International Raceway allowed Jake to pull off a “three-peat” in the GTV Class. He most assuredly has become the one to beat.

Jake was nothing but smiles after learning he the GTV class leader at Pike’s Peak.

Something new for the racers this season is most definitely leveling the playing field. The USCA - Ultimate Street Car Association - modified a few of the rules for 2016. In years past, the points champion was the participant who had the most points. Makes perfect sense, right? Not so fast! The points champion wasn’t necessarily the one who was the fastest, or had the ultimate street car, he or she could very well be the one who was capable of attending the most events. This year, all that has changed. This year, points are decided by the participants BEST three events and ranked accordingly.

Both car and driver cooling down between run group sessions on Sunday

Pike’s Peak, Jake’s third event of the 2016 OSUSC season, has him leading the points race with 1,417 points in the GTV Class. We had a chance to catch up with Jake and he said he was thrilled with his 3rd place overall position along with being in 1st at Pike’s Peak. He was seriously stoked with the performance of his 1969 Camaro, seemingly unphased by the heat and higher elevation. Rozelle considerably opened the gap between he and Larry Woo who is currently second in GTV Class with 880. Woo couldn’t make it to PPIR but we will see these two battle it out at Circuit of the America’s in Austin, Texas in early August.

K&N Race Team Driver, Jane Thurmond, sharing her strategy for COTA with Katie Osborne from Lucas Oil and MAVTV.

Coming in 4th at Pike’s Peak in the GTV Class is another K&N sponsored driver, Jane Thurmond. In fact, Jane is currently ranked 4th in GTV Class in the OPTIMA Series. Jane and her son, West, trailered the ’64 Chevrolet Corvette, affectionately named Scarlett, to the venue after meeting up with friend and fellow competitor, Matt Alcala, and Lingenfelter Design & Engineering Judge, Jon Lindstrom. We found out that the pair did a little sightseeing on their way to PPIR taking in the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and a quick stop to visit with some racing friends in Cortez, Colorado. When asked, Jane said their road trip is really what racing, to her, is all about. The friends, the incredible sights and the fast cars!

David Carroll in his LS-powered 1975 Datsun 280Z, complete with K&N cold air intake system.

The GTL Class, for vehicles weighing less than 3,200 pounds turned out to be the smallest class with just seven participants. David Carroll, a longtime supporter of all things K&N, raced his way to the podium at Pike’s Peak International Raceway earning a third place, along with class dominators Rich Wilhoff in 1st and Ken Thwaits in 2nd. But since Wilhoff and Thwaits have already received the invite for OUSCI, our third place finisher, David Carroll in his LS-powered 1975 Datsun 280Z received the invite.

Both Jake Rozelle and Jane Thurmond will be hitting the road again in August to have a chance to race at Circuit of the America’s (COTA) in Austin, Texas. The event sold out almost immediately due to COTA being a world class venue. They both agree, what other amateur racing series features such incredible destinations to test your skills amidst other very capable drivers. No less in a street car.

We are thrilled that such winning drivers are a part of the K&N race team and look forward to seeing what they pull off next. In good ole Texas style, we are certain it will be big.

Cody accepts trophy for a win at a King of the Wing feature race in Stockton.

Cody Gerhardt of Madera, California, grew up in a family that raced and built sprint cars. His dad Kevin and his uncle Kent, and their father and grandfather have all participated in sprint car racing. In Fact, a major race in the USAC Pavement Sprint Car Racing Series is the Gerhardt Classic, a 100-lap race on a 3/8-mile track that's named after Cody's great grandfather. And yes, Cody has competed in the race and in his rookie season qualified seventh in a field of 15 cars and finished eighth.

He won the Northern, Southern, and Western United States Midget Championships in 2010.

The fourth generation Gerhardt to race got started when his father bought him a quarter midget. "He took me up to the Madera Speedway, which is close to our home, and I trained there. When I was ready I raced. I was 5 years old and I was hooked," he said.

He progressed through the USAC Ford Focus Midget Racing Series and the Mini-Sprint Series and then on to racing winged pavement sprint cars. While he was moving through the classes from midget to sprint wing cars, Gerhardt's dad and uncle started Western Speed Racing in 2002. Cody joined the team in 2009.

The team, which also includes racer Dylan Nobile, competes in California in the Western King of the Wing Series and in Indiana, Idaho, Washington, Utah, and Arizona in the National King of the Wing Series. Drivers that have raced for the team include Jason Leffler, Tony Stewart, Bobby Santos, and Dave Steele.

Cody and the team had to overcome some setbacks. For example, in 2015 Cody's dad and uncle built a brand new car that featured a Diablo Chassis. Although they finished second in points in the Western Series and the vehicle was very competitive, they still experienced steering box issues throughout the campaign and had to keep changing it out.

"If we didn't have that problem I'm sure we would have won the championship, but we had a couple of DNFs," said Cody. According to Cody, the car wasn't ready to race at the beginning of this season because the engine wasn't complete. "So in the first event of the year I had to drive Ken Hamilton's famous Pink Lady and I finished second," he said. "We missed the next race due to an accident with our car that happened in practice."

However, they won the BCRA Midget Car Feature on May 7th and the Winged Sprints on June 11th. Both events took place at the Madera Speedway.

Western Speed Racing Team #40 and #60 cars finish second and third at Madera Speedway in 2016.

In the June 11th race, Cody qualified the Western Speed Racing's #40 Winged Sprint car 2nd with a 12.851 time and placed 2nd in the second heat race. Dylan Nobile qualified the team's #60 car 4th with a 12.888 time and finished 3rd in the second heat. Cody started 5th in the 3rd row and Nobile started 3rd in the second row. Both drivers were held up for 11 laps of the 30-lap race. Cody was in 5th and Dylan made a pass on the outside to capture 3rd place. Dylan finished 2nd after fighting to make a pass for the lead and Cody took 3rd.

Western Speed Racing will compete on July 9th in the 13th Annual Gerhardt Classic at Madera Speedway. According to Cody, the team will be racing in eight to nine more races including the Gerhardt Classic. He added that some events are in California and some take place in other states such as Washington and Idaho.

K&N Engineering is a major sponsor of the Western Speed Racing Team and a valued partner.

"K&N has been sponsoring the team for eight years and sponsoring me through my career before I joined the team," he said. "I've had a great relationship with K&N. They are great people to work with. Every time we needed something, they were on it right away.

Other sponsors of the Western Speed Racing Team include Lucas Oil, K1Racer Gear, University Market, Fresno Van Rental, Anderson Landscaping, XRP, Steele Performance, Johnny's Muffler Services, Brannon Corporation, Yak Graphics, Dennis's Body Shop, Truck Covers USA, Nobile Truck Accessory and Performance Trailers, Inc., and Paul Eskesen Motorsports.
