Heat soak can be a performance killer under the hood. We get asked about it all the time: What is it? How does it happen? Can K&N intakes help?
Thankfully, managing heat soak is something we design around from the start. So we decided to hit the road and demonstrate what happens in a real-world scenario – comparing two different types of vehicles with a K&N intake system versus the stock setup. Come along with us and let us show you how it really works where it matters most.
Tired of all the keyboard warriors on the internet arguing about what intake makes the most power? So are we, and it’s time to cut through the noise. This article puts three popular intake styles to the test on a 2018 Chevy Silverado: the new K&N NextGen, a closed box competitor, and a discount open airbox competitor. Using airflow, dyno, and track tests, we measure real-world performance to find out what intake is best!
