K&N's Passion For Racing Provides Inspiration And A Place To Test Carbon Fiber Hood Scoops
- Apr 2, 2010
K&N is widely known for manufacturing High-Flow Air Filters™ and Intake Systems. However, many might not know that K&N’s enthusiasm for performance was born out of racing.
Our on-site composite department builds hand-laid carbon fiber components. The lightweight and superior strength of carbon fiber makes it an ideal construction medium for racing applications. Curing is done in an autoclave where both mechanical and chemical processes ensure precision fitment and structural integrity.
Additionally, K&N has released two new inner hood scoop pans used for mounting hood scoops. Part number 100-8510 features pre-cut mounting holes and is intended to be used on an 8” Braswell dual carburetor setup with a 9.800” center to center spacing. For race vehicles using a different carburetor set up K&N offers a cut-to-fit inner hood scoop pan. Part number 100-8514 does not have any holes and can be cut to fit a single or dual carburetor set up. Go to our Carbon Fiber Composite page to see all K&N composite products.
