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.
Help protect the engine of your WRX and gain a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque with the K&N® 69-8011TTK air intake system, engineered specifically for 2018-2019 Subaru WRX 2.0L models. The K&N® 69-8011TTK mandrel-bent aluminum intake system offers an estimated power increase of 17.4-horsepower and 14 lb./ft. of torque*.
The 2019 RAM 1500 has been completely redesigned for the 2019 model year—with plenty of exciting upgrades, and the option of a 5.7-liter V8 rated at 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. If you’re a performance-minded driver, you may be interested in the guaranteed power increase that the 77-1578KP performance cold air kit provides.
K&N® has recently received an executive order from the California Air Resource Board allowing multiple cold air intake systems to be used in California. These 50-state legal intakes are now offered for the applications listed below, including many Ford Focus, Taurus, Fusion, Explorer, and Mustang models.
