The K&N 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction Air Intake is engineered for greater airflow to the Nissan and Infinity 3.7L V6 engine and features an oversized cone-shaped air filter.

Who doesn't need a few more horsepower and a twist more torque in their sports and GT cars? The much-appreciated 3.7L 330-hp V6 in 2009-2016 Nissan 370Z and 2008-2013 Infiniti G37 coupes and sedans has plenty of heart, yet a K&N Blackhawk Performance Air Intake system upgrade can give it even more.

The 3.7L V6 was the 2008 replacement power plant for the Infiniti G37 that also fit perfectly into upgrade plans for the 2009 Nissan 370Z. In 2013, the IPL model G37 cranked out 348hp and for 2015, a stock 370Z's horsepower was up to 332hp, while the Nismo model 370Z was tuned to produce 350hp. The combination of these powerful engines and some excellent design work has kept both vehicles selling well over the years. Owners generally glow in their assessment of these cars. They've posted online reviews that describe their ownership experiences as comparable to wearing the car like an amazing suit of clothes, being encouraged to safely test their skills, and being confident in managing the impressive power and speed at their command. They will surely be ready to enjoy a more energetic engine response after installing a 71-7078 K&N Performance Air Intake system.

Finished in all-black powder-coating, the system creates a coordinated, high-performance look in the engine bay.

Released just this spring, the 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction air intake system has been shown to increase power by an estimated 9.31hp, and 6.94 lb-ft of torque in dynamometer testing of a stock 2009 3.7L in a 370Z at 6500rpm. This impressive dual-intake system is ready for owners or their tuners to install in their 370Zs and G37s. It is engineered to reduce restriction in the air intake, allowing the engine to inhale a larger amount of air than it could from the stock components. More air means more power and acceleration, and a bigger grin on the driver's face.

The K&N 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction Air Intake System is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air intake system that replaces both factory air filters and air intake housings and is finished in a textured black powder-coated color scheme for an attractive look and durable finish.

The intake tube accommodates the 370Z and G37 factory mass air sensors and crankcase vent hoses. To ensure improved airflow, the system is fitted with dual oversized, washable and reusable K&N cone-shaped air filters made from black oil-free synthetic media. Depending on driving conditions, the filters can be used for up to 100,000 miles before they need to be cleaned. The entire kit also comes with K&N’s 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty.

At the heart of the system is a washable, reusable oil-free synthetic K&N air filter, which should last the lifetime of the car.

The 71-7078 air intake is relatively easy to install in about 90 minutes, using the existing factory mounting points. The tool list in the instruction sheet includes basics that everyone should have on hand: flat blade and Phillips screwdrivers; ratchet and extension; 1mm and 10mm sockets; 3mm Allen wrench, 10mm wrench and pliers.

Bradley Morris shifts gears and spots for Curt LeDuc in his #24 truck at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Arizona

Morris was in the middle of the 2014 Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series where he was 1st in points in his Pro Buggy, and 2nd in his Pro Lite, when he crashed on his mountain bike and broke his neck, almost paralyzing himself. Bradley had to have surgery to place two plates and several screws into his neck, and thankfully still had some movement but not much sense of touch. By working hard in therapy and staying focused on his future, Bradley was able to get most of his movement back to normal.

The brand new #24 Pro 4 truck of Bradley Morris is ready for a great first season in 2016

Even with everything feeling better, the vertebrates were still healing. With the healing process still in effect, the doctor told him he couldn’t race off road yet because of all the downward pressure that would be put on his spine when landing the jumps. However, the good news was that the doctor cleared him to do some road racing which allowed Bradley to sit in the driver’s seat and get his body and mind back into the racing mentality. Due to the type of injury he had, it was best to have Bradley step out of his current limited suspension race vehicles and into a different class. After a lot of thought and consideration, Bradley and the BME Motorsports Team decided it would be best for him to step up to Pro4 for the 2016 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Bradley tests out his new Pro 4 and gets it ready for his official race return in 2016

Luckily, before Bradley had been hurt, he had been looking at the future and had already started testing in Curt LeDuc’s Pro 4 to see if that was a direction to go in the future. Working with Curt offered an amazing experience for Bradley, and he was able to gain great insight into his racing. Curt has raced everything from the Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, Pikes Peak, desert racing in all the different series, and short course from the beginning with the Mickey Thompson Series. This past year, Curt was inducted into the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame, and he is also one of K&N Engineering’s longest sponsored drivers, spanning over the past 30 years. Curt has since then officially retired from short course racing in 2014.

Curt LeDuc fills in for Bradley Morris in the first races of the 2016 season

Over the past few years Curt, Bradley, and the BME Motorsports Team have become good friends and have been there to support each other. “Working with Curt has been great, learning from one of the most experienced drivers is great. He has driven everything and has learned something from each one, and now he is transferring that wisdom to me” stated Bradley. With Bradley not being cleared to race until after the 2016 Lucas Oil Off Road season opener at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Arizona, Curt came out of retirement to fill in for his friend in his time of need. So now rather than Curt spotting for Bradley and teaching him some new tricks, Bradley was now going to be spotting for Curt. Curt showed up to the season opener and came out with his K&N Engineering sponsored Pro 4 to race for points, which gave Bradley a good start to his 2016 season with a top 10 and a top 5 finish.

After an intense surgery and rehab routine, Bradley is recovering well and is just about ready to get back on the track

Bradley has been testing in his new Pro 4 truck for the last 8 months and also working hard to get the truck to its full potential, as well as getting comfortable in it. He has had to take it easy going over the jumps, but is able to drive it hard in the corners like he usually does. Slowly, it has all been coming together, and Bradley has been anxiously awaiting his time to shine in his brand new K&N and Kicker Audio Pro 4. Bradley said, “ I am super excited to bring a new driving style to Pro 4. After studying film of other drivers and videos of myself testing, I think that the smoothest way around the track while keeping the momentum moving forward is the fastest. This is going to be the key to my success.” It has been a long journey for Bradley to get to where he is today, and the fans have been asking non-stop when is he coming back and what class he going to be racing in. The class he was going to race was answered last year when the Pro 4 Chassis was getting a lot of attention, but no one new when he would be back.

The time has now come upon us for Bradley to get back on the track officially and take the green flag once again. Bradley will be making his Pro 4 debut at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park for rounds 3 & 4 later this month. It has been almost two years since Bradley got injured, and to take the green flag at one of his home tracks is one of the best ways to make a come back. Watch for Bradley to put on a great show for the enormous cheering section there to watch him do what he loves.

Flinchum started the race on the second row and quickly headed to the front of the pack, leading the race for 112 laps

NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver Chad Finchum won the Pitt Lite 125 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, his first win in 13 career starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.

Finchum, a 21-year-old driver from Knoxville, Tenn., is racing for the recently formed Martin-McClure Racing, which is partially owned by NASCAR XFINITY Series driver Eric McClure. Martin-McClure Racing is running a partial schedule in the K&N Pro Series East. The race at Bristol was the first of four scheduled starts for Finchum with the team.

“This is kind of my playground. I love the short tracks. I love the concrete tracks,” Finchum said after the race on Saturday. “Really good success today. We showed a lot of potential and I hope that can carry through. All the hard work paid off.”

Finchum took the lead from pole winner Harrison Burton on lap 14. Finchum, who started on the outside of the second row, was out front for the remainder of the race, 112 laps. He finished 0.625 seconds ahead of runner-up Kyle Benjamin. Finchum is the fourth different winner in four K&N Pro Series East races in 2016.

“We have been finishing second a lot this year and I really wanted to get the win, especially at a place I have some experience at,” Benjamin said. “Also I wanted to get the team its first win. We haven’t won yet in the K&N Series but it will happen shortly. We keep bringing fast cars to the track. We can only run second for so long.”

Finchum has never finished higher than seventh place in a K&N Pro Series East race, a feat he accomplished three times, prior to winning at Bristol. The next race he is scheduled to race is at Iowa Speedway on July 26.

“There are plenty of races in between now and the last race on the schedule for places to be filled and places that we can go and race,” Finchum said. “As of right now, I don’t know. I’m just taking all this in. Wins are hard to come by. I’m just taking it one moment at a time right now. This is really cool and it is really fun and I hope I get to do it again many more times with these guys.”

Benjamin’s second-place finish was enough to move him into the lead in the K&N Pro Series East standings. He is three points ahead of Spencer Davis after four races in the K&N Pro Series East schedule. Kaz Grala was third, followed by Justin Haley in fourth and Dillon Bassett in fifth.

“Really good run for us,” Grala said. “Unfortunately, we had to start a little bit farther back than I would have liked. We started 11th. By the time we were up where we needed to be, we were just about out of tires and definitely out of time.”

Todd Gilliland, who was looking to set a NASCAR K&N Pro Series record with five wins in a row to start his career, was ninth and the highest-finishing rookie. Gilliland had troubles from the start and had to work his way into the top 10. He had to start at the back of the field because of unapproved adjustments his team made to the car.

The next K&N Pro Series East race is the Biscuitville 125 at Virginia International Raceway on April 30.

The K&N VF2019 Cabin Air Filter will significantly improve air quality in the 2007-2016 Ford Edge, 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX and 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9

The 3-row crossover market is almost as competitive as the sports, beauty pageants, school plays, and Girl Scout cookie sale that they're likely shuttling kids to. Three of the most stylish options are the 2007-2016 Ford Edge, 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX and 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9. They combined good looks with fun driving manners, lots of room, and lots of luxury. One of these high-end features is an HVAC filtration system that was designed to remove dirt and allergens from the cabin. This helps make for a pleasant environment, no matter how dusty the road, or how bad the pollen count happens to be. But many owners simply forget to change that OEM cabin air filter, and that can lead to a very unpleasant environment.

The K&N VF2019 Cabin Air Filter washable and can be warranted with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty

A typical cabin air filter, like the one in your crossover, uses pleated paper to extract contaminants from the air. As air is forced through it, the dirt particles remain on the surface until you change the filter. All of the dirt that collects in those folds, can eventually start to restrict the airflow. Once this happens, the engine will have to work harder (which burns more fuel) to get air through that clogged HVAC filter. Some of the dirt/allergens can also get into the cabin through the vents, making the inside of your family wagon feel dirty and stuffy. The K&N VF2019 Cabin Air Filter is designed to solve these problems, while saving you money.

Each K&N cabin air filter is made from a special electrostatically charged synthetic material that is set inside a sturdy polyurethane frame. As air enters the K&N VF2019 cabin filter, large things like leaves and pine needles to cling to the outside, while smaller particles get trapped inside the web of synthetic fibers. Those contaminants will then remain inside the filter until it's cleaned (we recommend cleaning your K&N cabin air filter every 12-months/12,000 miles, depending on road conditions). You can also use the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit to quickly freshen the air inside your CUV any time you feel the need.

Because of its unique filtration media, the reusable K&N VF2019 cabin air filter can filter out dirt, dust, pollen, mold spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens. This will provide a literal breath of fresh air for allergy sufferers. Plus, it's covered by a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so it's guaranteed to keep working for a very long time.

If you've got allergies, the K&N VF2019 Cabin Air Filter will clean the air so you can breathe better

In addition to cabin air filters, K&N also makes an entire line of performance parts for your Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, or Mazda CX-9. To see what's available, you can use the Search by Vehicle Tool, or you can use this tool to find a K&N dealer near you.

The K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System for the 2015-2016 Harley Davidson GX500/GX750 Street

An air-cooled Harley Davidson motorcycle is like a chrome-plated "potato" gun. It's huge fun, in a very dramatic sort of way. The 2015-2016 Harley Davidson GX500/GX750 Street on the other hand, is like an agile sword-wielding ninja. It can dart around without setting off car alarms, thanks to its powerful liquid-cooled V-Twin engine. And its sport suspension can handle tight curves or rough roads, without breaking your back. Depending on your needs and skill level, you can choose from a Harley Street 500, or the more powerful Harley Street 750. Both offer fantastic performance, in a lightweight bike that's easy to manage. But if you want to up the power on your urban assault bike, then you're going to need the K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System.

A K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System installed on a 2015 Harley Davidson Street 750

No matter what kind of bike you ride, gasoline engines make their power in the same way: Gas is injected into the cylinders, followed by air that's brought in through the air intake system. This volatile mixture is then ignited by a spark plug, and the resulting explosion forces the piston downward, turning the crankshaft, and ultimately the wheels. The energy created during that fuel detonation is where horsepower comes from. And you can "turn up" that energy/horsepower by simply introducing a high volume of cold air into the combustion cycle.

The K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System increases airflow by replacing the stock intake system with a low restriction intake tube, connected to a high-flow K&N Performance Air Filter. By using a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube to create a wide-diameter airflow path to the fuel system, the oversized K&N filter can collect and send a much higher volume of air directly into the engine. This allows the liquid-cooled V-Twin to create power more quickly, resulting in more power and faster throttle response. Plus, that K&N air filter is washable and reusable so it will likely be the last filter you ever need for your bike.

All of these performance claims are meaningless without the proof to back it up. So a K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System was installed on a 2015 Harley Davidson Street 750, and the bike was run on a dyno. With the stock intake, this water-cooled Harley made 37.79 hp and 43.53 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheel. After the K&N performance intake was bolted on, the dyno showed 44.45 horsepower, and 49.71 lb-ft of twist, for an estimated power increase of 6.66 hp and 6.18 lb-ft. Of course, your individual results may vary, due the mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific bike.

The K&N 63-1130 AirCharger Performance Intake System provides an estimated power increase of 6.66 hp and 6.18 lb-ft
