Hank Robinson of Hanro Studios performing live engraving in the Gibson Exhaust booth at the 2015 SEMA show

Using Dremel tools, Hank engraved his 2014 Ram 1500 pickup with a Viking/Norse warrior theme which has earned it the name A Warrior's Chariot

In 2011 Hank Robinson started Hanro Studios out of his garage. Prior to 2011 Hank served 9-1/2 years in the United States Army Infantry. It was after retiring from the US military that he seemingly stumbled upon his true calling. As Hank tells the story, he was working on a project in a metal working class when he discovered that he is extremely skilled at engraving. Hank's early work mainly consisted of engraving signs or plaques for friends and family, but as it often does, word about Hanro Studios spread quickly.

In 2014 Hanro Studios became sponsored by Dremel, a company best known for its famous rotary tools, and which Hank now uses exclusively in his engravings. Hank's talent, combined with Dremel tools, has allowed him to take Hanro Studios to the next level. 2015 was another breakthrough year for Hank as he partnered with automotive aftermarket companies, like Gibson Exhaust, to showcase his talents in front of thousands in attendance at the 2015 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not only was Hank in the show, but so was his personal 2014 Ram 1500 Pickup.

Peragon was gracious enough to include Hank's additional sponsors such as K&N Filters, and Dremel in a well-made video that allows Hank to tell the story of Hanro Studios in his own words

Using Dremel tools, Hank engraved his 2014 Ram 1500 pickup with a Viking/Norse warrior theme which has earned it the name "A Warrior's Chariot". Engraved items on his truck include the K&N Blackhawk Induction Systems air intake, number 71-1561, Velocity Wheels, the truck's Gibson Exhaust tips, and a rather unique truck bed cover from Peragon Truck Bed Covers. Peragon is a family owned company with its headquarters and manufacturing facility based in Spooner, Wisconsin. For 16 years Peragon has proudly produced American made, solid aluminum, fully retractable, truck bed covers at an unbeatable price.

One of Hank's preferred mediums to engrave is aluminum and when he was searching for a bed cover to complement his Ram, Peragon aluminum retractable bed covers seemed like a perfect fit. Hanro Studios and Peragon Truck Bed Covers pair so well that Peragon made a video about Hank Robinson and his 2014 Ram 1500. Peragon was gracious enough to highlight Hanks' additional sponsors such as K&N Air Filters, and Dremel tools. Watch this video on the K&N Racing & Product Videos page.

Inside the heat shield/air box of the K&N FIPK Performance Air Intake System designed for the 2011-2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 / Polaris Ranger RZR XP 900 are dual K&N air filters

Inside the heat shield/air box of the K&N FIPK Performance Air Intake System designed for the 2011-2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 / Polaris Ranger RZR XP 900 are dual K&N air filters

There's absolutely nothing practical about the 2011-2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 / Polaris Ranger RZR XP 900. It only seats 2 people, and there's barely enough room to carry a cooler. If you want a Side by Side that can haul lots of gear, or pull a trailer around the family farm, you're going to want something else. But if you and a buddy want to go on a high-speed outdoor adventure, this Polaris Side-by-Side is awesome!

The 2011-2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 turns all-four wheels with a 875cc fuel injected DOHC twin that makes 88-hp. For most people, that's plenty of go-power for a pint-sized dune buggy. But if you really want to break the needle off the Fun-o-Meter, then you're going to need the 50-state legal K&N 57-1129 FIPK Performance Air Intake.

This rugged K&N performance intake kit is designed to increase horsepower and torque by reducing airflow restriction. To do this, a pair of short, large-diameter, mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes replace the narrow factory inlet tubes. These straight tubes don't force the air to travel through tight bends like the stock intake did. This helps more air get to the throttle body quicker. Plus, these K&N intake tubes are completely smooth on the inside, which reduces turbulence and creates an unobstructed airflow path.

The K&N 2011-2014 Polaris RZR 900 air intake includes dual oiled cotton air filters made from 6 layers of a special tight weave cotton gauze material that is treated with a proprietary oil blend

K&N dyno tested this Polaris RZR air intake system on a 2012 Polaris RZR XP 900 and testing revealed an estimated horsepower increase of 2.14-hp, along with an additional 1.17 ft-lb of torque

With the direct, high-volume air delivery tubes in place, it's time to feed the beast. This is done by swapping the factory air box for a rugged aluminum heat shield/air filter box, that houses 2 conical low-restriction K&N performance air filters. These famous oiled cotton air filters are made from 6 layers of a special tight weave cotton gauze material that gets treated with a proprietary oil blend.

The oil on a K&N filter causes the cotton fibers to become sticky, which allows them to attract and hold dirt particles that are as small as the diameter of a human hair. K&N air filters can also be washed and reused for years to come. The pleated design, and dual air filters, will offer 2011-2014 Polaris RZR XP 900 Side by Side owners long service intervals between cleanings. But if you regularly drive in extremely dirty/dusty environments, K&N recommends that you inspect them frequently.

After extensive R&D, K&N installed a K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Air Intake System on a 2012 Polaris RZR XP 900 and strapped it to the in-house powersports dyno. These power tests revealed an estimated horsepower increase of 2.14-hp, along with an additional 1.17 ft-lb of torque. Compared to a car, 2 extra horsepower doesn't sound like much. But on a 1,200 lb 4x4 ATV only making 88 horsepower from the factory, that's a significant bolt on upgrade. Your individual results may vary due to the mileage, condition of your RZR, and the elevation/environment that you drive it in. But you will see a guaranteed performance increase with this system.

The K&N 57-1129 FIPK Performance Air Intake is legal in all 50 states, and it's backed by a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty. Installation should only take around 90 minutes, and all you need are 3 sockets, an extension, a 10 mm wrench, and a couple of screwdrivers. But this air intake kit isn't the only performance part that K&N makes for Polaris side by sides, or other vehicles.

2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L K&N 63-2594 AirCharger Performance Intake System is engineered to make your 2015 V6 powered Pony car fly

2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L K&N 63-2594 AirCharger Performance Intake System is engineered to make your 2015 V6 powered Pony car fly

When the Ford Mustang was first introduced, the Blue Oval marketing department decided to give young buyers something they'd never had before: Choices. Prior to 1964, a vehicle's equipment was determined by its trim level. The 1964 Mustang on the other hand, came with a huge list of options that could be ordered ala carte. For the 2015 Ford Mustang, designers tried to capture the spirit of Ford’s original pony car by giving it iconic styling cues, and a laundry list of exciting options. One of these choices was the 300-hp 3.7L V6, which offers budget-minded buyers the thrill of a Mustang, and the fuel economy of something more practical. 300 horsepower is nothing to scoff at. But if you’re wishing you had V8 like performance, K&N can help increase the horsepower in your pony car by installing the K&N 63-2594 Performance Intake System.

An engine makes power by igniting a mixture of fuel and air inside the cylinders. The resulting explosion forces the piston down, which turns the crankshaft and sends power to the wheels. Introducing a large volume of oxygen-rich cold air into the cylinders, causes the fuel to explode with greater force, and allows the engine to make more power using roughly the same amount of fuel. The K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System is engineered to feed your 2015 Mustang V6 engine a steady supply of cool air. This helps you get more horsepower, more torque, and faster throttle response.

K&N installed this air intake system on a 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L, and dyno testing showed an estimated 7.49 horsepower increase, and 7.72 additional foot-pounds of torque. Of course, your individual results could vary due to the mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific car. But even coming close to that number will make a significant difference in the way your 2015 Mustang V6 drives.

Close up of the K&N 63-2594 AirCharger Performance Air Intake System installed on 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6

To turn your Mustang into a thoroughbred, the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System does several things. First, it ditches the narrow, restricted factory intake for a wide diameter K&N intake tube that has been aerodynamically designed to straighten out the airflow path, and reduce turbulence. The K&N 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 air intake also has fittings for the factory EVAP and crank case vent lines, which means you won't have to make any modifications. Using just a few sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers, you should be able to install this entire K&N performance kit in about 90 minutes. The photos in the detailed installation guide will walk you through each step, and the K&N technical support team is available to answer any questions that may arise.

The final and most important part of the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Air Intake System is the high-volume conical K&N air filter. It's mounted behind an application specific air filter heat shield to prevent the warm engine bay air from mixing with the cooler air that's coming into the system. This reusable cotton gauze air filter can capture dirt particles that are smaller in diameter than a human hair, and it can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings (depending on road conditions).

Many famous V8-powered Mustangs didn't make anywhere near the horsepower of a 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 and adding a K&N 63-Series AirCharger Intake will give your pony more power than a 1995 Mustang SVT Cobra R (300-hp), 2007 Mustang GT California Special (300-hp), or a 1970 Mustang Shelby GT350 (300-hp).

The K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake comes with a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty, and will not void the manufacturer’s factory warranty. But that's just the start, because K&N makes lots of other Mustang performance parts that are guaranteed to give your pony car a lot more giddy-up.

The K&N E-2988 replacement air filter is a direct, drop-in replacement for your 2008-2015 Ford S-Max Galaxy II & Mondeo IV Diesel disposable factory air filter

The K&N 2008-2015 Ford S-Max, Galaxy II & Mondeo IV Diesel  replacement air filter is washable and can go approximately 80,000 km before cleaning, depending on driving conditions

Until the last few years or so, Ford was rather, well, boring. That changed significantly in the late-2000s with a fleet-wide facelift, new models and long lists of cutting-edge standard features. “Unlearn” is Ford’s newest campaign, which embodies this reboot at Ford, including their dedication to innovation and taking a fresh look at things. The Ford S-Max, Galaxy II and Mondeo IV are prime examples of this innovation, having gone under the knife a few years back and gathering new features and bits of advanced technology along the way. One component of these vehicles, however, that has kept its foot stubbornly in yesteryear is the factory disposable air filter. Take a fresh look at air filter technology and bring your air filter into the 21st century with a K&N E-2988 replacement Ford diesel air filter.

The K&N replacement air filter 2008-2015 Ford S-Max, Galaxy II, & Mondeo IV Diesel  models is an easy-to-install, drop-in replacement for the disposable Ford factory air filter on the models listed below. Innovation is present throughout every aspect of this air filter’s design. Where disposable air filters have a foam sealing lip, the K&N filter has a durable urethane sealing lip and end cap incorporated to provide excellent structural integrity. Between the two urethane ends are multiple layers of oiled cotton gauze for superior airflow rates and outstanding filtration efficiency. Cotton flows far better than paper which helps to minimize restriction, allowing your engine to breathe easier and perform better. For the more precise tolerances of these diesel applications, 4 layers of a special tighter weave cotton is used to provide an overall efficiency rating of 99.1% for the E-2988 replacement diesel air filter.

50-state street legal 2005-2014 Toyota Tacoma 4.0L V6 K&N air intake can help get more power from the 236-hp/266 lb-ft Toyota V6 engine

50-state street legal 2005-2014 Toyota Tacoma 4.0L V6 K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Air Intake

The thing that people love most about the 2005-2014 Toyota Tacoma is its rugged simplicity. There's no air conditioned seats with embossed belt buckle upholstery. The step bars don't whirr themselves down to greet you, and there's definitely no 'soft-touch surfaces'. Instead, everything is big, easy to operate, and made from sturdy materials. This allows you to use the 'Taco' like a truck, and not worry about breaking stuff. And that simple-is-better philosophy carries over to the engine bay, where its tough 4.0L V6 doesn't 'wow' you with twin-turbos and lots of horsepower. But it's certainly capable of covering several hundred thousand miles without skipping a beat. 236-hp/266 lb-ft isn't a lot of power though, and it can leave many Tacoma owners wanting for more. Which is where the 50-state street legal K&N 57-9025 FIPK performance air intake comes in.

One of the best ways to increase horsepower and torque, is to make an engine breathe better. When you funnel a high volume of cold air into the cylinders, the engine is able to burn fuel more completely. This 'combustion efficiency' results in more force/horsepower being created every time that the fuel detonates. We dyno-tested a 2012 Toyota Tacoma with a K&N 57-Series FIPK air intake system fitted to its 4.0L V6, and found that it made an estimated additional 8.9 horsepower and 12.7 lb-ft of torque. The K&N FIPK system also sharpens the throttle response, which makes that power increase immediately noticeable. Your individual performance increase may vary, due to things like the mileage, modifications and condition of your exact Tacoma. But you will definitely see a difference in the performance.

To make this power increase possible, the narrow factory intake tube and low-flow OEM paper air filter gets replaced by a shortened, large diameter K&N intake tube that connects directly to the base of the factory air filter box. This direct path allows more air to be delivered to the engine, with less restriction or turbulence. Surrounding the high-flow K&N air filter is an application specific air filter heat shield, which prevents the high-volume conical K&N air filter from collecting the warm air inside the engine bay.

The 2005-2014 Toyota Tacoma 4.0L V6 K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Air Intake improves performance but maintains factory emissions controls found in the original air box

Another advantage of the 50-state street legal 2005-2014 Toyota Tacoma V6 K&N 57-Series FIPK air intake system is longevity. You can go up to 100,000 miles (depending on driving conditions) before the reusable K&N cotton gauze air filter needs to be cleaned. The entire intake system is also backed by a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty, so your K&N intake is guaranteed to be just as durable as your truck. And don't forget, K&N makes other performance parts like high-volume fuel pumps, oil filters, and low-restriction fuel filters.
