K&N's New FIPK® Intakes Give Dodge Durangos Up To 17.5 Dyno Proven HP

RIVERSIDE, CA - For all you die-hard Durango fans, look no further for performance filtration. K&N Engineering's new 57-Series FIPK (Fuel Injection Performance Kits) for the 5.7L Hemi (pictured) and the 4.7L V-8 offer guaranteed horsepower in an easy-to-install kit. Both kits incorporate a cone-shaped original K&N High-Flow Air Filter which is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® and can be cleaned and re-oiled with a K&N Recharger® Kit (sold separately).

On K&N's in-house Dynojet dynamometer, the FIPK®, Part# 63-1094, equipped Hemi produced a maximum horsepower output of 273.15 at the rear wheels, an impressive 17.54 HP increase over stock. The 4.7 pulled 174.55 in stock form, jumping to 191.30 HP after the FIPK® installation. The K&N system maximizes airflow while protecting your engine from harmful particulates as small as .05". The heart of the FIPK® Intake Kit is its original K&N High-Flow Air Filter, comprised of four layers of woven cotton-gauze fabric, which are sandwiched between aluminum mesh screen, then treated with a specially-formulated filter oil to capture dirt and debris as it smoothes air flowing through the filter.

Connecting the filter to the engine is an aerodynamically engineered, roto-molded polyethylene intake tube designed to smooth airflow and drive massive amounts of air into the engine. As with other FIPK® applications, the Durango kits come complete with all the necessary hardware and installs easily with no drilling required. This system is street legal in most states.

In addition to this new FIPK®, K&N also offers two OE-upgrade filters for the new Durango: a washable/reusable replacement air filter (PN 33-2288) and a Performance Gold Oil Filter (PN HP-2004).

New K&N 57-Series FIPK® Cold-Air System Makes The Ram SRT-10 Even More Exciting

RIVERSIDE, CA - Ford and Dodge continue to duke it out for muscletruck supremacy. Just when the Lightning appears to claim the crown, Dodge unveils the 500-HP Ram SRT-10, powered by the Viper-inspired 8.3L V-10. K&N Engineering has been on the fast-truck bandwagon for years and proudly introduces a new 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®) for the SRT-10, Part No. 57-1541. Dyno-testing revealed that this K&N cold-air system improved horsepower and torque across the powerband. (See the dyno chart at www.knfilters.com.)

The 57-Series FIPK® system makes more power by replacing the restrictive factory airbox and intake tract. More air into the engine equates to added power.

K&N begins with one of its famous High-Flow Air Filters, isolated from underhood heat by the kit's powdercoated heat shield. Compared to the factory filter, the K&N unit is freer-flowing and traps more dirt. Plus, this filter can be washed and re-oiled with a K&N Recharger® Kit. Normally outlasting the vehicle, the K&N High-Flow Air Filter comes with the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® and can be serviced as seldom as every 100,000 miles under optimal conditions.

The K&N filter attaches to an aerodynamically designed intake tube that's made of polyethylene. This allows the free-flowing tube to be routed for minimal turbulence and also helps dissipate heat. Installation is easily completed by the do-it-yourselfer. No drilling is required, and the 57-Series kit includes illustrated instructions as well as all necessary mounting hardware.

For the SRT-10, K&N also offers a washable/reusable replacement filter (PN 33-2297) as well as a Performance Gold® Oil Filter (PN HP-2004).

K&N Announces 57-Series FIPK® Cold-Air System For BMW M3s

RIVERSIDE, CA - In 2003, AutoWeek declared the BMW M3 "Best Sports Coupe." Other enthusiast magazines have bestowed similar accolades on the car. But K&N engineers have given the M3 an even more valuable gift: more power.

In stock form, the 2001-2005 BMW M3's 3.2L engine puts out 333 HP-more than 100 horsepower per liter. K&N offers guaranteed horsepower for the M3's S54 straight-six with its new 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®), Part No. 57-1003. Owners of 1995-1999 M3's can benefit as well with K&N's PN# 57-1000 Intake Kit.

Simplistically, K&N produces this extra power by feeding the engine a greater volume of air than the stock paper filter and airbox can. The 57-Series FIPK® is aerodynamically engineered to accelerate incoming air through the system: from the time it hits the filter's pleats through the kit's precision-formed intake tube and past the BMW mass-airflow sensor.

To keep incoming air as cool and dense as possible, the 57-Series FIPK® shrouds the filter in a metal heat shield. Air is then cleaned by an original K&N High-Flow Air Filter. Its filtration surface is made of multiple layers of oil-impregnated cotton over stainless-steel mesh. This time-proven design increases airflow while attracting and trapping more dirt than the OE filtration system. Backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®, this filter can be repeatedly washed and re-oiled with a K&N Recharger® Kit. Service intervals as high as 100,000 miles.

Installation is easily completed by the do-it-yourselfer. No drilling is required, and the 57-Series kit includes illustrated instructions as well as all necessary mounting hardware.

For more information, please contact K&N Engineering, Inc., P.O. Box 1329, Riverside, CA 92502-1329, (800) 213-4182 for a dealer near you, (800) 858-3333 for technical service/questions, (951) 826-4001 Fax, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.knfilters.com.

New K&N 57 Series Intake Kit Helps 2003-2005 T-Birds Soar

RIVERSIDE, CA - The new Ford Thunderbird probably embodies retro styling better than any other current car. However, a slightly anemic powertrain makes the car's performance pale somewhat compared to its appearance.

K&N has done its part to help make the 2003, 2004 and 2005 T-Bird run as good as it looks thanks to a new 57-Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®). This cold-air system (Part No. 57-2562) imparts dyno-proven horsepower throughout the T-Bird's powerband.

This 57-Series FIPK® features three main aerodynamically engineered components: a famous K&N High-Flow Air Filter, a metal heatshield and an optimally routed polyethylene intake tube. The kit also includes illustrated instructions and all mounting hardware so that the average Thunderbird owner can bolt on the 57-Series FIPK® in approximately one hour-no drilling required.

Environmentally friendly, the K&N High-Flow Air Filter can be repeatedly washed and re-oiled with a K&N Recharger® Kit, saving landfills from disposable paper filters. Service intervals are as much as 100,000 miles (depending on driving conditions), and the filter is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

K&N also offers a washable/reusable replacement panel-type filter for 2002-2005 Thunderbird (PN 33-2266).

For more information, please contact K&N Engineering, Inc., P.O. Box 1329, Riverside, CA 92502-1329, (800) 213-4182 for a dealer near you, (800) 858-3333 for technical service/questions, (951) 826-4001 Fax, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.knfilters.com.

K&N Offers Guaranteed Horsepower for the Mach 1 Mustang With Their 57 Series FIPK® Intake Kit

RIVERSIDE, CA, -- The 2003 and 2004 Ford Mach 1 Mustang are two of the coolest retro-rods to come from Dearborn in recent years. In box-stock form, its 4.6L DOHC V-8 spun the K&N DynoJet Dyno to a peak of 269 horsepower. With the easy-to-install K&N 57 Series Fuel Injection Performance Kit (FIPK®) (Part # 57-2555) Mach 1 owners can boost peak output by almost 12 horsepower at the rear wheels! Mustangs fitted with aftermarket exhausts experienced even greater improvements.

K&N used their more than 35 years of experience to develop the Ford Mach 1 FIPK® Intake Kit from scratch. In designing the Mach 1 Kit K&N Engineers took advantage of the vehicle's unique shaker hood scoop. By coupling a heat shield to the factory hood scoop, K&N was able to ensure the coolest possible charge of air enters into the intake. Inside, this FIPK's® art and science is in its radius adapter that mates the filter to the roto-molded intake tube, which improves airflow into the factory throttle body.

Installation is relatively straightforward. Major steps include removing the stock intake tube and airbox, then adding the K&N heat shield, radius adapter and intake tube and clamping the famous K&N High-Flow Air Filter. As with all K&N Intake Kits, the FIPK® is designed to bolt in easily and works will all factory sensors and emissions equipment. This system is covered by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®. Cleaning is a simple process with the K&N Recharger® Kit (sold separately) and with recommended cleaning every 100,000 miles (depending on conditions), a K&N filter will often last longer than the vehicle.
