2009 to 2014 Honda Insight and 2011 to 2015 Honda Jazz Benefit from Proven K&N Air Filter Technology

The Honda Insight is a hybrid vehicle designed for consumers who may want to make an environmental statement. It seats five and is offered with a hybrid powertrain and front-wheel drive. Honda put an Eco Assist system on the Insight that helps drivers reach the best mileage by changing the background color of the speedometer from blue to green as efficiency increases. There is also a bar display that shows a thinner bar when fuel is being conserved.

K&N has designed a washable and reusable lifetime air filter, part number 33-2433, for the 2009 to 2014 Honda Insight and 2011 to 2015 Honda Jazz with a 1.3 liter engine. It is made from cotton instead of paper and never needs to be replaced. K&N air filters provide less restriction than typical paper air filters which can increase the efficiency of the combustion process, creating more horsepower and torque.

The simple drop in design makes it an easy performance add-on for your 1.3 liter Honda Insight engine. The 33-2433 will require cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions, and will continue to provide outstanding engine protection for the life of a vehicle. The filter is designed with a "grab tab" which makes it easier for you to lift the filter out of the airbox.

K&N is the leader and originator of the high flow performance cotton air filter and is always looking for new ways to provide excellent protection and maximum power for your vehicles.

K&N stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need.

“When you throw cars at walls at 90 mph they don’t always go the way we want them to,” said Vaughn Gittin, Jr. after hitting the wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in his 2010 Ford Mustang.

Gittin went to Round 4 of Formula Drift action expecting a good run. The Falken team just came off a second place podium finish at The Gauntlet in New Jersey. “Thursday night we had an incredible practice, the car was awesome,” said Gittin. “The track temperature on Friday in Nevada was at least 145 degrees and it caught us off guard.”

Before qualifying began, Gittin hit the wall hard and tore the right front corner off his Mustang. “The front right wheel took the impact,” he said. “All I saw was an explosion of parts. Everything ripped off the front corner of the car, the shock, springs and wheels. I was in the zone at the time and it all happened in slow motion.”

Gittin had about two seconds to react and did everything he could to get the car to change direction. “I tried to transition back away from the wall but I could not,” he said. “When everything stopped and I knew I was okay, I thought about driving back to the pits and then realized I was only on two wheels.”

Fortunately the safety equipment on the Falken Ford Mustang did its job. “My back is sore and my neck is sore,” he said. “It was the hardest hit of my career. I just blocked the accident out of my mind and knew I had to get back out on the track. We’re so close to the championship anything else would not be imaginable.”

The entire Falken Team, along with assistance from Autosport Dynamics pitched in to completely rebuild the front end of the Mustang in two hours. Teamwork and dedication paid off which led to salvation. “We got up to the qualifying line with only 10 seconds to go,” said Gittin. ‘If it had been five seconds later we would not have been able to compete. We were able to advance to the top 16, but one of the tires caught a piece of debris and that hurt us.”

At the end of the day, Gittin remained 4th overall in points and only 43 points away from first place. Gittin's Drift Alliance teammate Chris Forsberg moved to top position overall in the chase for the Formula Drift Pro Championship.

Gittin has put his heart and soul into this sport. He also used K&N products long before starting his professional career. “I read all the flow charts and realized K&N was the best for me because of the abuse I put my cars through,” he said. “When I’m in a cloud of smoke on the track, it’s not just smoke. That cloud is filled with rubber parts and without K&N air filters my motors would be damaged. K&N oil filters also keep metal debris out of my engines.”

The 2010 Ford Mustang is on its way to North Carolina for repairs. “By the next drift it will be ready to go,” said Gittin. Formula DRIFT returns to Evergreen Speedway near Seattle, Washington August 7-8.

“Tyler and I both lost in the semi-finals so we had to run against each other for a third place finish,” said Forsberg. “I was thinking about the last time I ran against him and had my mental notes ready for this battle. His car puts out a lot of smoke. I just drove into the smoke and hoped he was driving as fast as I was. It was a super tight battle, but I took the podium.”

Drivers faced a different venue in Nevada. The event started at 4 pm and continued past midnight. “It’s so hot in Vegas, the track temperature is still 100 degrees at midnight,” said Forsberg. “It was nice to run at night and it’s great to have such awesome fans. The crowd stayed and gathered around the podium around 1 am.”

Forsberg currently has 307 points and Ryan Tuerck has 294 points. Samuel Hubinette rounds out the top three in the 2009 Formula DRIFT professional Championship Series with 271 points.

My K&N filters took the heat, took the track debris, rubber and the smoke and continued to give me power,” said Forsberg. “K&N also protects my engine.”

Formula DRIFT returns to Evergreen Speedway near Seattle, Washington August 7-8.

American made luxury automobiles, like Cadillac, once captivated the imagination of consumers around the globe. With the rise of the young urban professional, European, and later Japanese, luxury cars invaded the market. American luxury became thought of as a "grandfather's" car. This unfavorable stereotype no longer holds true for Cadillac. Gone are the days of heavy, inefficient land yachts. Cadillac's CTS-V helps to usher in this new era of American built luxury cars. The "V" moniker in the Cadillac line-up is intended as a direct contender to imported luxury such as BMW's M series and Lexus' F cars.

Performance Air Intake System 57-3068 stimulates an already incredible super sport sedan with an estimated 17 horsepower increase @ 5117 RPM at the rear wheels. K&N's 57-3068 fits the 2006 and 2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L and provides increased performance while maintaining that "O/E" look with a rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. More air means more power and torque when you need it. With a K&N Performance Cold Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether entertaining clients, or winding through the Santa Monica mountains.

This air intake system uses a round tapered high-flow chrome-top air filter (RC-2960) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle's stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, flows more air, and increases service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the engine is the rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers the most flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers. 57-3068 takes about 90 minutes or less to install, using simple hand tools, requires no cutting or drilling, and is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

For increased protection and style, K&N offers Drycharger® filter wrap number 22-8049DK that can be used in conjunction with 57-3068. Drychargers® are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the filter.
