2013-2015 Cadillac ATS & 2014-2015 CTS Sedans Gain 16 HP With A K&N Aircharger Kit

The RC-5138 K&N Filter oiled cotton filter measures 7.5" inches at the base

The large K&N filter element draws increased intake air while protecting the engine from damage

Certain Cadillac ATS and CTS are powered by the GM 3.6L High Feature V6 engine, which incorporates new technologies over its development for uncompromising efficiency and performance, including direct injection and continuously variable valve timing. While a powerful engine for its size, additional horsepower is readily available with the installation of a K&N 63-3084 AirCharger intake system.

The version of the engine in these Cadillacs, known internally as the LFX, is a 60° 24-valve design that features an aluminum block and DOHC cylinder heads. Installed in the 2013 – 2015 Cadillac ATS and 2014 – 2015 CTS Sedan the LFX engine produced 321 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 274 lb-ft of torque at 4800 rpm. Other features include piston oil-jets, a forged and fillet rolled crankshaft, sinter forged connecting rods, a variable intake manifold, twin knock control sensors, and coil-on-plug ignition.

So if you’re looking to increase the output of your 2013 – 2015 Cadillac ATS or 2014 – 2015 CTS, K&N has the solution: an AirCharger performance intake kit. In chassis dyno testing, a 2014 Cadillac CTS recorded a gain of 16.27 rear-wheel horsepower with no change other than the installation of a K&N 63-3084 AirCharger air intake system.

The heat shield and filter are designed to be located in the original air box space

The heat shield isolates the filter from underhood heat, allowing only cold air to flow to the motor

The K&N AirCharger air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on select 2013 – 2015 ATS and CTS models. The air intake first enters a large 7.5-inch chrome topped K&N RC-5138 high-flow air filter sited within a heat shield that installs into the original air box space. Much of the performance increase can be attributed to the oversized conical air filter manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media which offers less resistance than traditional filters but provides outstanding engine protection.

Engine protection is provided by a multi-layered cotton material that filters out microparticles that could potentially damage your engine in order to ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house filtration testing lab, which adheres to strict ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that K&N filters provide high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

The intake tube of a K&N AirCharger significantly reduces restriction to incoming air flow as well as calms turbulence. Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose while the heat shield adapts the secondary air hose (where equipped) to a secondary air filter as well.

Everything needed to install your new K&N 63-3084 is included in the box

Best of all, the K&N AirCharger intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package.

And once you’ve installed your K&N filter you’ve eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered Cadillac. The only maintenance is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of around 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N 99-5000 Recharger Kit to easily clean your AirCharger air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is warranted with the famous K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty.
