K&N Air Intake under the hood of a Honda Accord 2.4L

The Honda Accord needs no introduction. It has been one of the best-selling midsized sedans in North America since its introduction, wrapping up fuel efficiency, safety, and stylish design in an affordable package, which appeals to a huge audience. It has even found a fond following in the tuner community. The Accord is completely redesigned inside and out for 2013 with modern styling cues, cutting-edge electronics, and a fuel-efficient 2.4 liter engine that spins an impressive 185 break horsepower and EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon highway. With prices starting in the low $20k range, you find affordable performance from a manufacturer that some might argue is the industry-leader in midsized sedans.

Owners of the 2013 to 2016 Honda Accord models with 2.4 liter engines have many performance upgrades at their fingertips, but none carries the industry-leading knowledge, performance and reputation of the K&N 69-1213TS Typhoon air intake system.

K&N Air Intake System for Honda Accord 2.4L

Every component of the 69-1213TS is engineered for performance. The system is guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque, utilizing a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube to help minimize restriction and increase airflow to the engine. The tube is finished in a durable silver powder coating so the performance is matched with style under the hood. A K&N RU-4960XD air filter is fitted to the inlet of the tube to provide excellent filtration efficiency. The filter is also washable and reusable so it never needs to be replaced, and servicing the filter is only needed every 100,000 miles or so, depending on driving conditions. The filter is placed near the factory fresh air duct and is shrouded by a heat shield to help protect incoming air from heat coming off of the engine.

The 69-1213TS performance air intake system is easy to install and comes with step-by-step instructions including a list of all the tools needed to complete the job. K&N also backs this air intake with its industry-leading Million Mile Limited Warranty so owners have the peace of mind knowing that their intake is covered.

For the 2014 season Rock River Powersports Yamaha Motocross Racing Pro Team has signed Ben Lamay, Kyle Chisholm, Alex Martin, and Greg Gehrer.

CycleTrader.com is undoubtedly the nation’s largest powersports marketplace! The website hosts the widest selection of classified ads with motorcycles, PWCs, or snowmobiles to choose from private party or dealership listings. The website receives over three million website hits per day and they are deeply involved in every aspect of the powersports industry. So, the announcement to sign on as the title sponsor for the Rock River team is indeed a significant decision.

This partnership with CycleTrader.com allows the Rock River Yamaha program to truly compete with the factories as K&N’s premier Team in Monster Energy Supercross.

This partnership gives CycleTrader.com a stronger presence in the motocross world while providing the Rock River team with the resources to help both professional and amateur riders as they compete nationwide. General Manager of CycleTrader.com, Paige Bouma said, “We felt it was time to elevate our profile in the motocross arena and bring CycleTrader to an entirely new generation of riders. We could not think of a better way to do so than by supporting these hardworking motocross athletes. We are proud to join the Rock River Powersports team.”

K&N products are featured in everything from the Race Team bikes to the Team YAMAHA Rhino to the Race Team Semi-Truck Transporter.

The original Rock River Supercross/motocross professional team was formed in 2009 under the direction of Mike DuClos and team manager Christina Denney. In 2010, DuClos, owner of Rock River Powersports, a brick and mortar Yamaha dealership and arguably the largest amateur motocross race team on the amateur racing circuit, was brought into the Factory Yamaha Pro Race Program and offered a position to take an additional race team to AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross. The offer in essence allowed Rock River to become the first amateur team to present a program to kids from ages 3 ½ in amateur motocross, all the way through to the professional ranks. No other motocross team in history has that type of reach. Under the direction of DuClos and Denney, the riders signed up so far for the 2014 season include Ben Lamay, Alex Martin, and Greg Gehrer, with a fourth rider to be announced.

Team Cycle Trader/Rock River/Yamaha will compete in the complete Supercross Series, the AMA Outdoor Motocross Series and many of the Amateur Motocross Series throughout the year.

“We have worked so hard for the past five years, and we knew if we held on, good things would happen,” said DuClos. “CycleTrader.com is an amazing addition to our program, and we can’t thank them enough for the support they are giving us.”

CycleTrader.com is also launching a new “Pro Pit Corner” on its homepage where fans can interact with the team’s riders, manager, owner, and mechanics. This section will offer giveaways, tech tips, team tracking, an event calendar, and an exclusive sale link to the team’s factory Yamaha race bikes. Not to mention, features including the benefits of K&N’s High-Flow Air Filters and Performance Oil filters in the race bikes.

“This will be K&N’s 4th year supporting the Rock River Powersports Race Programs,” commented Johnny Jump, K&N’s Powersports Brand Manager. K&N is involved in every level of the program, from young boys and girls chasing their dreams through their dedication to the sport of motocross at amateur events, all the way through to the top racers of the Monster Energy Supercross Series. K&N has products in the bikes, in the motorhomes, in their semi-truck with our Heavy Duty air and oil filters, and even in the team Yamaha Rhino which takes the team and riders to and from the start finish line at the events. And part of our sponsorship relationship will include the ability to have a place on the website with tech tips concerning K&N products, how they work, cleaning, air filters oil filters, etc.”

Mike Guerra, Racing Division Department Manager at Yamaha Motor Corp., remarked, “We’re really excited about adding CycleTrader to the team and look forward to having another successful year of racing.”

Scott Bailey, Stronghold Motorsports Team owner says that growing up in close proximity to Riverside International Raceway sparked a fever that ultimately led to a career in racing that now includes three generations.

As a young man living in Moreno Valley, Scott attended the Micky Thompson SCORE Off Road World Championships and simply knew that ONE day he would be a part of that style racing. Sure enough, in the early 1980's he began his racing career in a Modified Honda Odyssey at Corona Raceway. As time passed he continued dabbling in motorsports as often as he could including pitting for Troy Herbst in 2006. This is what reignited the passion to get serious about his racing involvement.

In 2008 they bought a Prolite and started racing shortcourse, then the following year, son Brandon started racing SuperLites and placed 3rd. "We built a Pro2 in the end of 2009 and won the challenge cup in 2011 with Rob Naughton. Won the championship in 2010 & 2012 in Prolite," stated Scott. "In 2012 Brandon's son Madix started racing Trophy Karts and now we have 3 generations of our family racing. In 2010 we started racing in the desert in the 7200 class, and from the beginning we struggled with our motor program with the V6 and gave up in 2012 to build our current new Alumincraft/ProAm/Stronghold Class 1/1500 car. I credit My Wife and business partner for all the support she gives both of her love, time and financial support, as well as Troy Herbst, Roy Dehban and Mike Grabowski for allowing me to learn enough to experience my dream that was started in the 70's."

"K&N Products have helped bring my racecars and trucks and team to the next level. Their highly advanced products bring long lasting and peak horsepower to our race vehicles," concluded Bailey.
