Since 1969, K&N Engineering has been designing, manufacturing and enhancing High-Flow Air Filters for the automotive and motorcycle enthusiast interested in maximizing horsepower and acceleration. Since their humble beginnings, they have designed and manufactured over 2,400 High-Flow Air Filters to fit most modern passenger vehicles and over 500 high-flow air intake systems to fit vehicles driven by enthusiast-minded drivers. K&N not only has more applications than any other manufacturer of similar products, but they have invented the High-Flow category and the High-Flow Technology that supports it. K&N also makes thousands of racing and specialty type air filters and is the only air filter used at the Indianapolis 500 Race®.

The K&N FilterCharger® air filter is designed to achieve high, virtually unrestricted air flow while maintaining filtration levels critical to ensure long engine life. K&N's automotive OE (original equipment) replacement air filters generally add 1-4 extra horsepower. The secret to their success lies in the unique characteristics of their filter medium that was originally developed by K&N all those years ago in the dust, sweat and tears of desert motocross racing. K&N just wanted to win races and stumbled upon a cotton filtration technology destined to be great. K&N's high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive or motorcycle engine. K&N air filters consist of four to six sheets of cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminum wire mesh. This media is then pleated and oiled to enhance its filtering capabilities and overall performance. K&N Air Filters were created for an environment requiring maximum horsepower and enhanced acceleration, in addition to protection from the dirt and dust of off-road racing. The result is an air filter that allows dramatically more air into an engine, is washable and reusable and will protect your engine for the life of your vehicle.

Engine Protection, Filtration

Anyone can flow more air. The trick is to flow more air safely. In K&N's opinion, they've hit the sweet spot — an optimal blend of high air flow, filtration efficiency, durability and dust capacity. K&N takes filtration seriously. K&N Air Filter media has been tested both in-house and by independent labs using the ISO5011 test developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers. In addition, K&N tests many of their filters both in and out of the OE airbox, ensuring proper fit and function. The goal is to design filters with the maximum possible airflow achievable while providing guaranteed engine protection.

The Importance of Oil

A K&N Air Filter is made of 4 to 6 layers of cotton gauze sandwiched between two epoxy-coated aluminum wire screens. The cotton is treated with a specially formulated grade of oil causing tackiness throughout the cotton's microscopic strands. The nature of the oil creates a powerful filtering media that ensures engine protection. In contrast, most other media can not maintain the same balance of airflow and filtration throughout the filter's life without sacrificing one or the other. With a K&N Air Filter, there is no sacrifice.

Testing — Laboratory and Real World

K&N uses independent laboratories to help ensure that their products meet or exceed your high performance and high filtration demands. Better yet, they have conducted their own testing at their state-of-the-art in-house testing laboratory. For more information on K&N air filters and testing, go to the K&N Technical Learning Center area on K&N's site. K&N's dedication to providing a first-class air filter can also be seen outside the testing laboratory. Consider that K&N has sold more than 20 million air filters since 1969. One such filter was put in the airbox of a three-quarter ton Chevy pickup and driven more than one million miles by Carl Judice of New Iberia, Louisiana. Carl points out that he has never rebuilt the engine, nor removed the cylinder head from his trusty pickup truck. Real world testing and customer satisfaction doesn't get any better than that.

Never Replace Your Air Filter Again

Handmade in the USA and in the United Kingdom using only the finest materials, K&N OE Replacement Air Filters are washable and reusable. Regardless of what you've heard, it's almost impossible to wash your K&N Air Filter too much. Inside K&N's testing laboratory, they have washed and re-oiled one K&N Air Filter more than 100 times and it still performs up to specification. Depending on your driving conditions, we recommend cleaning your air filter every 50,000 miles. To clean and re-oil, purchase a K%26N Filter Recharger Service Kit and follow the easy instructions.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy testing and mileage claims are a tricky business. Just ask the EPA, whose website states, "EPA's fuel economy estimates are designed to allow consumers to comparison shop. Your fuel economy will almost vary from EPA's fuel economy rating. This is based on a number of factors, such as weather, road conditions, your driving and maintenance habits, and your use of air conditioning."

Under Gas Mileage Tips they go on to say, "Replacing a clogged air filter can significantly improve your car's mileage." A lot of exaggerated claims are made in the marketplace by products claiming to improve gas mileage. K&N makes no general fuel economy claims, however we encourage you to try a K&N air filter for yourself. Keeping air filter restriction as low as possible can be an important tool, among others, for maintaining high mileage.

K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty® and Consumer Protection Pledge

K&N warrants it street vehicle OE Replacement Air Filters for one million miles. When used properly and found to be defective, simply return your filter and receipt from purchase and K&N will replace it free of charge. K&N's Consumer Protection Plan goes one step further than its Million Mile Warranty. The performance aftermarket has, at times, been plagued by car manufacturers and automotive dealers that may attempt to discourage you from customizing your vehicle. They prefer you to buy OE parts and not modify your car or truck and have even been known to void their own manufacturer's warranty due to vehicle modification. This sounds un-American to us, which is why K&N and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers from such denied warranty claims. If you experience a difficult dealership, K&N will resolve the issue so you won't have to. The following summarizes the K&N Consumer Protection Pledge:

K&N pledges to their customers that they will not be taken advantage of and charged for a repair to to a dealership warranty denial blamed on the presence of a K&N product.

K&N believes that they make "The World's Best Air Filter" and they stand behind that claim 100 percent.
