With the addition of K&N’s new Performance Air Intake System (77-2577KTK), F250 owners can realize a gain of nearly 14 extra horsepower. K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty 5.4 liter V8 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower gains across the RPM range with an impressive 13.93 horsepower gain @ 4077 RPM at the wheels! K&N’s 77-2577KTK air intake system gives F250 Super Duty 5.4 liter V8 owners the power they are craving.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. K&N intakes completely replace the factory air intake assembly with an aerodynamically engineered tube and an oversized conical air filter. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on increased acceleration and horsepower whether towing a toy hauler trailer, or heading to the job site.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter (RC-5173) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle’s stock air box lid. The result is a high-flow air filter that captures harmful particles, provides a large surface area, and has a long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions.

Improving the air path between the filter and the engine is the black powder coated, mandrel bent aluminum intake tube. Our black powder coated aluminum intake tubes offer power and a stock appearance. 77-2577KTK takes about 90 minutes or less to install, requires no cutting or drilling, and is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

For increased protection and style, K&N offers Drycharger® filter wrap number RC-5173DK that can be used in conjunction with 77-2577KTK. Drychargers® are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the filter.

K&N 69-1017TTK air intake system for 2009 Honda Fit with a 1.5 liter engine

K&N 69-1017TTK air intake system for 2009 Honda Fit with a 1.5 liter engine

The 2009 Honda Fit was completely redesigned for 2009. It is a bit longer and wider than the 2008 model and has added interior space, sharper handling, enhanced seating functionality, and a more powerful engine.

K&N has designed a performance air intake system (69-1017TTK) in black for the 2009 Honda Fit with a 1.5 liter engine that is guaranteed to increase power.  K&N dynamometer tests show the 1.8 liter engine gained 4.53 horsepower at 6000 RPMs with this air intake kit.

The 69-1017TTK has lower restriction than the factory air box system. It draws air through a high flow washable and reusable chrome top K&N air filter (RC-9630) which is protected by a powder coated heat shield.

The heat shield directs incoming fresh air from the factory air inlet into the air filter and isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment for better performance. The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine bay using factory mounting points and attaches to the intake tube.

The 69-1017TTK integrates the mount from the vehicle’s mass air sensor. Remove the mass air sensor from your vehicle’s stock air box and install it into K&N’s less restrictive mandrel bent aluminum tube using the provided K&N hardware.

All the OE emissions devices are reused and the MAS placed in a location that works with the factory settings. The provided crankcase vent hose attaches to the aluminum intake tube. The 69-1017TTK can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

A few years back Pontiac decided to restore its reputation as GM’s High-Performance brand. Pontiac has seen much success with their line of G8 models.

K&N's 63-3068 Performance Air Intake System for the 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L V8

K&N's 63-3068 Performance Air Intake System for the 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L V8

American made luxury automobiles, like Cadillac, once captivated the imagination of consumers around the globe. With the rise of the young urban professional, European, and later Japanese, luxury cars invaded the market. American luxury became thought of as a “grandfather’s” car. This unfavorable stereotype no longer holds true for Cadillac. Gone are the days of heavy, inefficient land yachts. Cadillac’s CTS-V helps to usher in this new era of American built luxury cars. The “V” moniker in the Cadillac line-up is intended as a direct contender to imported luxury such as BMW’s M series and Lexus’ F cars.

Performance Air Intake System 63-3068 stimulates an already incredible super sport sedan with a 17 horsepower increase at the rear wheels. K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L V8 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed an increase across the RPM range with a staggering peak horsepower gain of 17.09 horsepower @ 5,117 RPM! K&N’s 63-3068 provides increased performance while maintaining that “O/E” look with a rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. More air means more power and torque when you need it. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether entertaining clients, or winding through the Santa Monica mountains.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped high-flow chrome-top air filter (RC-8049) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle’s stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, flows more air, and increases service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the engine is the rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers the most flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers. 63-3068 takes about 90 minutes or less to install, using simple hand tools, requires no cutting or drilling, and is covered by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

K&N's 77-1558KP air intake system for 2008, 2007 Mitsubishi Raider with a 3.7 liter engine and 2008, 2007 Dodge Dakota with a 3.7 liter engine

K&N's 77-1558KP air intake system for 2008, 2007 Mitsubishi Raider with a 3.7 liter engine and 2008, 2007 Dodge Dakota with a 3.7 liter engine

K&N has designed a new polished aluminum high flow air intake system (77-1558KP) for the 3.7 liter engines of the 2008 Dodge Dakota, the 2007 Dodge Dakota, the 2008 Mitsubishi Raider, and the 2007 Mitsubishi Raider.

Dynamometer tests show a 6.14 horsepower gain at 4200 RPM. K&N’s air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system. K&N removed the intake plenum to help smooth the air entering the throttle body.

The 77-1558KP uses a conical shaped chrome top high flow air filter (RF-1048), and a powder coated heat shield in place of the vehicle’s stock airbox. The extra large heat shield directs incoming fresh air from the factory air inlet into the air filter, isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh air.
