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.
It all began with motorcycles back in 1969, when Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald created the original oiled High-Flow Air Filter™ for their off-road bikes. Since that time, K&N® has continued to develop cutting-edge performance products for motorcycles, and offers intake systems for dozens of Harley-Davidson motorcycle models and years including newer Fat Boy, Softail, Road Glide, Street Glide, Road King, and Electra Glide models.
Designed in K&N’s development center and laboratory using the most advanced computer-aided design and 3D modeling, the K&N® 63-2610 cold air intake system is engineered specifically for most 2015-2019 Ford F150 V8 5.0L models, and includes a larger than stock fresh air scoop behind the front grille to increase airflow to the high-performance enclosed air box filter assembly. If you have an F150, this is one performance upgrade that might be hard to pass up.
K&N has recently begun releasing enclosed air box intakes, designed specifically to help protect the air filter element in your Silverado or Sierra from heat, dust, dirt, and moisture. The air box lid allows for quick and easy access to the filter without tools.
K&N has a brand-new cold air intake kit for your Ford Edge. Designed specifically for 2017-2018 Ford Edge 2.0L L4 gas models using the most advanced computer-aided design and 3D modeling, the K&N® 63-2611 cold air intake system offers a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque. Increase your vehicle’s power in less than an hour, with only simple hand tools required.
