LONGS, SC -- The traditional gift for a five-year anniversary is something made of wood. However, please don't offer K&N Filters such a gift during its fifth consecutive season of involvement in the Hooters Pro Cup Series, because you will not find any pulp in its product.

The unique design of the K&N air filter, featuring multiple layers of oiled cotton fabric which captures airborne dirt particles, extends the life of an air filter nearly tenfold over the traditional disposable paper filters.

In 2005, Hooters Pro Cup drivers will continue to benefit from the cutting-edge filter company's involvement as K&N remains an "Official Contingency Sponsor" of the HPC Series.

"This season will be K&N's 5th Anniversary as a contingency sponsor with the Hooters Pro Cup Series, and we're proud of it," said Jeremy Subriar, K&N corporate race manager. "We know the series is an excellent breeding ground for the future stars of auto racing, and we are very excited to be part of such a competitive series."

As part of its ongoing contingency program, K&N will award the highest finisher using its products a $75 product certificate.

"K&N Filters continued involvement in the Hooters Pro Cup Series over the last five years is a prime example of its dedication to excellence in motorsports," said Tony Cox, USAR director of operations. "Through the years, we have enjoyed a good, mutually-beneficial relationship with K&N, and we see no reason the association will not continue-and grow-for many years to come."

RIVERSIDE, CA, (1/21/2005) - K&N Filters and Ivan Stewart have signed a multi-year agreement that positions K&N as the Official Air Filter and Oil Filter of the Ivan "Ironman" Stewart Protruck® Racing Series.

The agreement officially took effect at the SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge, January 13-16th.

"K&N's earliest products were designed for off-road racing more than 35 years ago and we have worked with Ivan "Ironman" Stewart many times in the past," commented K&N CEO Steve Rogers. "When Ivan came to us and said he wanted K&N to be the Official Air Filter and Oil Filter of his Protruck Racing Series we were excited about the opportunity to work together. Racers provide valuable input on the performance of our products and off-road racing is probably the most demanding proving ground for any product - especially filters. K&N uses feedback and testing from our racing efforts in the development and improvement of our products for street vehicles so we view partnerships like ours with the Protruck Racing Series as a natural extension of our research and development efforts and a vital part of our goal in keeping K&N as The World's Best Air Filter."

Ivan "Ironman" Stewart added, "Everyone knows K&N is the best choice for off-road filters. Their reputation has been top notch for decades and we are proud to have the K&N name associated with the Protruck Racing Series."

Ivan "Ironman" Stewart is the series founder of Protruck Racing Organization (PRO). Protruck is a "spec" racing series with the highest potential purse rewards of any dessert style racing class. The Protruck uses the latest technology in space frame construction to provide a high performance race truck, disguised under a stock appearing body, with body specific V-8 engine combinations. The trucks are designed as durable, cost efficient, dual purpose racing vehicles that work both as a short course and long course, high-speed racers. The popular Protrucks race as a special class at various events including the Best In The Desert, SCORE and the 500 & 1000-mile Mexico races, as well as in stand alone "Protruck Only" events.

RIVERSIDE, CA - Chevrolet's 2003 and 2004 SSR's are pure modern hot rods. The whole point of driving a hot rod is to make a personal statement. One of the best ways to personalize a SSR is with bolt-on performance upgrades. K&N's 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK 57-3046) is exactly what you need. It pumps up the horsepower and torque for the already impressive 5.3L V8, plus sharpens throttle response throughout the rpm band. Best of all, you can install an FIPK in your own driveway with hand tools in just a couple of hours.

K&N's 57-Series FIPK replaces the restrictive factory air box, filter and intake tube. In its place a K&N High-Flow Air Filter, smooth-flowing composite intake tube and heat shield team up to increase cooler airflow to the engine. The result is a denser charge, more power and a much better looking engine bay. Plus your engine is more efficient at cruise rpm because it doesn't have to work as hard sucking air through a restrictive filter.

You'll be proud to pop the hood on your Chevy SSR and show off your FIPK . It carries a K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and the K&N filter is washable and can be re-used with K&N's Recharger^® Kit (sold seperately) meaning you'll probably never buy another air filter as long as you own your car.
