In 2012 Chevrolet released the Sonic 1.8 liter compact car, with the Sonic being a replacement and redesign of the Chevy Aveo. With this vehicle, consumers have even more options than before when looking to get a smaller car that costs less and has better EPA estimated fuel economy than some of the other vehicles Chevy offers. Besides the economic reasons, the Chevy Sonic has a more aggressive street look to help set it apart from the other compact cars available. However with the EPA estimated 40 MPH highway rating, many owners are looking for ways to help boost horsepower.

So to help increase horsepower and performance, K&N offers the 69-4525TS air intake system for the 2012 Chevy Sonic with 1.8 liter engine. This air intake system is easy to install and includes a high flow air intake tube, one piece heat shield, clamp-on style cone air filter, mass air sensor venturi as well as all of the nuts, bolts, brackets and hose clamps that are needed to install this intake system in your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.

The 69-4525TS air intake system includes an oversized clamp on style K&N air filter. This air filter is designed with a large surface area allowing for an increased service life. Because of the large size of the RU-4960XD washable and reusable air filter, most drivers can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions. The high flow air intake tube is a mandrel bent aluminum tube with a silver powder-coated finish. The powder-coated finish is very durable and is also very easy to clean using a slightly damp cloth. The air intake tube has a welded on mass air sensor adapter. The mass air sensor adapter has been engineered so that you can use the stock mass air sensor and stock computer programing without the need for modification or remapping the computer. To assist in keeping the stock tuning, the air intake also includes a venturi insert that is designed to help keep the air flow within the range the computer is programmed to handle.

The 2012 to 2013 Kia Soul 2.0 liter really stands out in the ever growing ultra-compact car crowd. With gas pricing rising, doing anything to help get noticed is important. Well the Kia Soul has done just that with its stylish looks, fuel efficient engine and transmission combo, low sticker price and most important, a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty from Kia. With all of these aspects, the Kia Soul is one great car for those not looking to spend a ton of money on the initial purchase or on yearly maintenance costs.

As with most ultra-compact cars, any way to easily add horsepower is a good thing. Well that option is available with K&N's 69-5308TS air intake system. This air intake system comes with a high-flow air intake tube, heat shield, oversized K&N performance air filter and all of the nuts, bolts and hose clamps needed to install it. Installation is easy and on average it can take less than 90 minutes to install. Once installed, owners can enjoy the estimated gain of 5 horsepower at 5664 RPM and 3.3 feet-pounds of torque at 4201 RPM.

The included high flow air intake tube is custom designed for the Kia Soul. It includes a welded-in fitting for the screw-in NPT nipple. The NPT nipple allows you to reconnect the stock crankcase vent hose to the intake tube. The air intake tube has a silver powder-coated finish that not only looks great, but is also easy to keep looking great. If the tube gets dusty, just use a slightly damp micro fiber cloth to remove the dust. Since the tube is powder coated, cleaning chemicals are not needed or recommended when cleaning the tube.

In addition to the great looking intake tube, the 69-5308TS air intake system also includes a black powder-coated heat shield, which is designed to feed cooler outside air into the air filter. The heat shield also has an attachment spot for the included fresh air inlet scoop. The fresh air scoop attaches to the heat shield and offers a way for the cooler outside air to reach the air filter without having to pass through the under-hood hot air.

To help improve air flow even more, the 69-5308TS air intake comes with a velocity stack style air filter adapter and an oversized RU-4600 high performance air filter. The velocity stack style adapter is designed to smoothly transition the air flow coming through the air filter and into the intake tube. The air filter fits onto the velocity stack style adapter and is secured with the provided hose clamp. Since the RU-4600 is an oversized air filter, not only will it do an excellent filtration job and protect your engine from dust, but you can go longer than the stock replacement air filter before cleaning is needed. Most drivers can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning, depending on driving conditions. However, if you drive is dustier than normal conditions, K&N also offers the 22-8036PK PreCharger air filter wrap to help extend the service interval of the air filter.

The 69-5308TS air intake system has been designed with state of the art engineering tools and high quality materials. Because of this, K&N backs this air intake system with their famous Million Mile Limited Warranty. This gives owners the peace of mind K&N's air intake and air filter are the last you will ever need to purchase for your 2012 and 2013 Kia Soul 2.0 liter.

The K&N 63-5308TS Air Intake System will fit the following Kia Soul models:
2013 Kia Soul 2.0L
2012 Kia Soul 2.0L

The V8 is teamed up with BMW's newly developed 7-speed double-clutch transmission which is designed to handle the high torque and high revving nature of the engine.

2009-2016 Yamaha XT250 Improves Overall Performance with K&N Air Filter

K&N Replacement Air Filter for Yamaha XT250
K&N Replacement Air Filter for Yamaha XT250
Many motorcycles tag themselves dual-purpose or dual-sport, but most of those are really only comfortable as a single purpose. A bike that truly feels at home, on and off-road, with the same degree of confidence is rare. The versatile Yamaha XT250 is that exception, and the dual sport character of the XT250 has earned it legions of fans since its introduction in 2009, because it's equally at adept on the road or open trail.

Some of the bikes off-road features include a long-travel suspension that provides more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance and a seat that's only 31.9 inches up from the ground. For 2013 the engine remains essentially unchanged from last year's model, a 249cc air-cooled SOHC engine paired with a five-speed transmission.

One of the most significant changes for the 2013 XT's is a fuel injection system which replaces the earlier model's 33mm Teikei carburetor. There's also a slightly larger gas tank (2.6 vs. 2.4 gallons on the 2012 model). Yamaha claims that thanks to the new fuel injection system the XT now offers better fuel economy.

Regardless whether you ride on paved or dirt roads, your Yamaha XT250 deserves an overall boost in performance along with exceptional engine protection, and the new K&N YA-2509 air filter delivers on both. By simply upgrading the existing air filter with a K&N YA-2509 high flow air filter, you can gain performance while insuring that your engine receives outstanding protection. The best part is it's easy. The YA-2509 reusable air filter is designed to fit directly into the OE filter box, without the need for any modifications.

If your daily commute is across town, servicing intervals can go up to 50,000 miles before maintenance is necessary. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. Once the screen of the motorcycle air filter is no longer visible and cleaning is finally needed, it's as easy as following the four simple steps on a K&N Recharger Kit.

This K&N air filter for Yamaha XT250 motorcycles will allow your bike to take in air with little restriction allowing it to run at it's best.

K&N YA-2509 fits the following Yamaha models:
2016 YAMAHA XT250 250
2015 YAMAHA XT250 250
2014 YAMAHA XT250 250

In the spring of 2012, at the Auto China show, Mercedes-Benz provided its first glimpse of the CLA-Class to an enthusiastic public. Those viewing the new car were immediately taken by its progressive design, sporty proportions and muscular lines. Less than a year later the CLA was formally launched at North American International Auto Show. The new compact four-door sedan is based on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class compact and the B-Class compact model platform. The CLA clearly follows in the CLS's very large footprints, as the CLS has been one of the most imitated models ever since its debut.

The new CLA is being assembled in the Mercedes-Benz factory in Kecskemet, Hungary. Dubbed the "baby CLS", the CLA models are priced and geared towards attracting younger buyers. All CLA-Class models are powered by four-cylinder engines, including a choice of 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter gasoline version listed below, or a choice of highly efficient diesels which can use the K&N high flow 33-2995 air filter. The 1.6-liter turbo gasonline engine is available in the CLA 200 and it's capable of outputting 154 horsepower at 5300 rpm. The more powerful alternative, the CLA 250 with the 2.0-liter turbo, reaches 207 horsepower at 5500 rpm. And now every model listed can improve on both horsepower and torque, by simply upgrading the air to a K&N 33-2995 reusable air filter.

K&N's high flow air filter instantly increases overall performance, while providing excellent engine protection at the same time, and it's designed to simply fit into the existing factory air box, without any modifications of any kind required.

K&N's pleated, high flow filter is designed to give your Mercedes Benz more power and torque and the 33-2995 air filter has a long maintenance interval. Depending on your driving environment, servicing intervals can reach up to 50,000 miles. When filter maintenance is finally called for, cleaning the air filter is as trouble-free using a K&N Recharger Kit.

The K&N 33-2995 high performance, reusable air filter, will be the only air filter you'll ever need to purchase for your Mercedes-Benz because K&N upholds that promise with their famous Million Mile Limited Warranty.
