I just wanted to tell you about the excellent results I have experienced after installing a FIPK (air intake) kit.

I installed the assembly on a well maintained 1999 Jeep Wrangler, 4.0 Liter 6, standard transmission, with 86000 miles on it. Prior to installation, I achieved 15 MPG city and between 17 and 18 MPG Highway. Pickup was OK.

Since installation, acceleration has significantly improved. In addition, I do not downshift in situations where in the past I did - i.e. I can take upgrades in 4th gear now where in the past I downshifted to 3rd. I corner in 3rd as opposed to downshifting to second.

I clearly have achieved a significant increase in horsepower and torque, although I did not have access to any dyno to determine what the "before and after" numbers are. But in a recent 300 mile trip, the highway MPG has increased to 19.7 MPG, a minimum 10% increase!!

Needless to say I am extremely pleased with this product. I have used K & N products for years, and have never been disappointed, but this is truly a superb result. Great job on this - I'm telling the world the good news.

Thanks!!

I recently bought the K&N Filter for my 03 Dodge Ram 3500 with the Cummins Diesel. It is the low output version, so I would average about 22mpg driving mostly highway.

After the new filter I am so pleased to report I averaged 27mpg on my last commute (85miles). This helps a lot now that diesel is so expensive.

Great product!
Thanks,

1999 GMC Sierra 1500 4.7L V8 4 speed auto ex-cab - This truck is my in-laws and I got him the replacement air filter about 1 1/2 years ago. I put it in for him. My father in law of course forgot to clean it. So I checked it last week. Opened the air box and from the top it looked new, clean. Now I lifted the filter out and it was black with dirt just hanging there. Now no dirt got past the filter at all. Not even very fine dust that you would expect on a paper filter in the same conditions. Now I don't know how many miles was on it. I'm guessing around 40,000 miles. Not only does your filter give this truck better fuel mileage, response , hp, & the last filer to buy for this truck, but it will with out a doubt stop everthing but clean air from getting through!!!

Oh why did I wait so long to get you, my sweet K&N air filter?

I have an 01 Dodge 1/2 ton which I purchased an FIPK for and the thing is awesome. Better mileage, quicker throttle response and great sound when you stomp on it. I just purchased a brand new truck with a Hemi in it- guess what... it's getting one in it too....and my wife wants one for her truck now as well. There's 2 more sales for the K&N guys.

If you don't have one get one, and once you do, guaranteed you'll want one for all your other vehicles. Great product!

K&N filters are the fastest answer to today high gasoline prices, they really do improve mileage and performance. I drive a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with a K&N Air Filter and it works great.

I tried my first K&N air filter about 6 years ago on my 55 Chevy 350. I instantly felt a difference in how it accelerated as well as better mileage. I then put one on my 91 Caprice Classic and got even better results. Believe it or not I was getting 28 to 29 mpg on the highway with a V8 with the air on. I have told pretty much everyone I know how good those air filters are. Being able to buy an American made product that is reasonable in price and terrific quality makes me happy in today's world where everything seems to be made in China or some other country. When I traded my Caprice I got a great deal on my Wrangler, and about a week later it dawned on me that I traded my K&N with the car....I was not pleased, I was kind of hoping I could use it on some other vehicle, but sadly it was long gone. I'm sure the person who got my Caprice was pleased to see the K&N decal on the air intake of the Caprice when they looked under the hood. Keep up the great work please.

This is the best air filter!

At my son's urging, and due to the price of gas, I purchased a K&N filter for my 2006 Honda Civic LX. I filled the car to the neck of the tank to start, and everytime thereafter.  We stopped first in Redding CA. and filled up.....2.5 gallons, 49 MPG.  I frankly didn't believe it.  We left the next morning for Fresno, I filled up there...7.5 gallons....49 MPG.  I drove 59 MPH, on cruise control the entire trip, and very easy on the gas pedal.  We had a tail wind the entire trip south.  Returning from LA to Medford OR, in one day we drove slightly faster, on cruise, into the wind and averaged 44 MPG home.  The car is rated at 39 MPG highway, the 2008 model's rated lower. I paid for the filter on the first trip.  Why?  How? Will this happen to my Tacoma pickup if I buy another filter?  I believe it now, and apologized to my son for not listening to his success sooner.

I have been a fan of K&N filters for many years. When I buy a new vehicle the second thing I buy is a K&N filter. I currently have them in my 2002 Honda Goldwing motorcycle (90K miles), my '97 Landrover Discovery (190+K) miles and my '03 50th Anniversary Corvette. I depend on my vehicles both for my recreation and work. I always get consistently better mileage and performance, I have never had a filter fail and I've been able to, in my opinion, extend the lives of all of my vehicles. I do my own maintenance and servicing, the filters are a snap. I don't believe that there is a vehicle made, gas or diesel, that won't benefit from a K&N filter product.

So, here's the thing, I don't understand how my new Typhoon intake is supposed to save me fuel because I am telling you since I installed it I have not been able to keep my foot off the Gas! It sounds Awesome. I am Driving a 91 Accord and as soon as I bought it I noticed a whistling sound, but since I put in the intake all I get is a low bass sound and a push back in my seat! WOW!

What a filter! I have a 1997 4 Runner 4x4. I had a dirty old filter that was off brand. A friend told me about K&N I installed it yesterday and immediately I noticed a difference in perfomance and smoothness. In the next few days im gonna see what it does with my fuel economy.

I just bought a new K&N air filter for my new Civic. This filter rocks, my car feels great, faster and my gas well lets say its much better than before. All I have to say is I made a good choice. I'll tell all of my friends just how great this K&N air filter is. Thanks!!

I bought a conical filter for my Honda CBF-150 (Unicorn) . The result is just exemplary, the midrange torque's got a real boost and the fuel efficiency has picked up by 9 Kilometers per Liter. That's more than what I paid for. So far I have recommended the filter to 8 of my friends and all of them are very much satisfied with the performance of their vehicle fitted with K & N filters.

I recently purchased 2 K&N air filters. I bought one for my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport and the other for my 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE. Both these vehicles have a little over 105,000 miles on them. These filters REALLY do make a huge difference in performance and gas mileage. I can tell you that as soon as I put the filters in and took the vehicles for a spin, I could feel the difference in acceleration and performance. It's almost as if the engine did not have to work so hard anymore. I have also noticed improved gas mileage by 2-3 mpg per vehicle. These filters are definitely worth the price. You NEVER have to replace them PLUS you end up saving money due to increased mileage. I would recommend them to anyone!

Just installed the Typhoon intake kit on my wife's 2001 Civic DX. The stock system had cracks and I figured if we had to replace it we might as well do it with K&N.

WOW! What a difference! More power is right and it's hard not to keep your foot on that peddle just to listen to the beautiful sound the engine NOW makes.

Not only that it simplifies everything under the hood and gets rid of alot of clutter.

Signed,

Seriously impressed with K&N

I have a 2001 400EX and I added a K&N filter and I jetted the carb to specs and man o man this thing has more power!!!
I love K&N!!!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AND AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A 1998 FORD EXPLORER. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT HOME AND IT WAS GETTING 15MPG. I TUNED IT UP AND IT WAS STILL ONLY GETTING 17MPG. A WEEK LATER I PURCHASED A K&N AIR FILTER FOR IT, AND NOW I'M GETTING 26MPG IN THE CITY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE MECHANICS THESE ARE GAS GUZZLING SUV'S THAT RATE 14MG CITY AND 19MPG HIGHWAY, AT ONE TIME I CALCULATED MY TRUCK GETTING JUST SHY OF 30MPG HIGHWAY. I LOVE MY AIR FILTER, IT LETS THE ENGINE BREATHE SOOO MUCH EASIER.  THANKS K&N

I drive between Rochester and Buffalo daily for work (150 miles/day). Before I installed the K&N air filter in my '07 Buick LaCrosse I was getting 25.5 - 26.5mpg. I now get 28.4 - 28.89mpg!

The engine sounds and feels like it's not working as hard to get up to speed and it's actually quieter than before. What a filter!!

I installed a K and N air filter in my 2007 Jeep wrangler a couple of days ago after several of my freinds had told me of the results they had seen.  I used to get 21.5 mpg now I get 24 mpg. That really impressed me , great product.

I own a 1995 Neon. It's not the highest performing car in world and it has little power. I heard about K&N filters and I wanted to give them a shot.

As soon as I installed the air filter I noticed a world of a difference. The throttle response and a very zippy acceleration were the first thing I noticed. It was amazing that by just simply increasing the air flow it can make that much of a difference, the car even sounds better. Best of all when the filter gets dirty you simply wash it and start over, and over time the filter pretty much pays for itself.

This is the best performance part I have ever bought. I will be putting K&N in all my future cars.

Just wanted to say WOW...Just bought one yesterday and already I felt the increase in horsepower. I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado, and noticed the HP right away...I will see in the next couple of days the fuel economy. I am excited to have it on my truck, friends have told me about it and I didn't pay too much attention. Now, I feel I should of...I took advantage of the filter since it was on sale, and it does make a difference...Once again WOW keep up the good work. With fuel prices the way they are, this will help...

WOW!!! One of the best aftermarket add-ons you can buy without a prescription!!  Great horsepower gain and VERY EASY to install.  My V6 stang thanks you guys at K & N!!! Saw about a 6hp gain and great STEADY and SMOOTH acceleration. Delivery was fast with no problems. ALL my future vehicles will have a K&N Intake system installed. Thanks!

P.S.  MY wifey wants one on her stang now!!  Guess its time to order another one!!!!  Honey-Do's never end........

Bought a performance intake kit a few years ago. I broke the adapter on the heat sheild. Looked all over and couldn't find one. Called K&N and they had it at my house within a week. Outstanding service. I have 3 other vehicle's, all will have K&N filters as soon as I get to the store. Thanks a million.

I used the same K&N drop-in filter on my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD from 2002 to 2007, when I sold it.  The new owner of the car is still using the filter I purchased years ago.  I'm now using K&N air filters on my 1993 Mazda Miata, and my 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR4.  It has made a night-and-day difference on the Miata, especially in low-end torque.  On the Galant, I now hit boost 200-300 RPM sooner, and I can definitely feel the difference in power.  Not only are K&N air filters proven to perform, they are also built to last.

Plus, K&N oil filters always have a nut welded on to the end of each filter.  As someone who changes my own oil, that's a godsend.

I recently had to retire my 1990 Mazda Protege GT (1.8l, 4cyl) and bought a used 1993 Mazda 626ES with a 2.5l V6 (both with manual transmissions, but the 626 is a much bigger and much heavier car).  I was a bit concerned about the fuel consumption of the 2.5l having had a car with a smaller engine (27~30 mph city, 40+ mpg highway).  I bought the K&N filter to see if it could help out with squeezing a few more miles per gallon.  Presently it stands at about 25 mpg in mixed driving.  While it's early to tell, what I can tell you is that from the first time I turned over the engine, I knew that there was a difference.  

The filter in the car (when I bought it) was brand new.  I felt that the engine was a little slow on response when I pressed on the gas pedal, even when it was already revving.  I thought that this was normal as I hadn't had the car for very long.  With the K&N filter and without a doubt, the engine revs up much more freely.  It's amazing how getting more air into the engine literally breathes new life into it!  An of course, there is that little improvement in the sound of the engine as well.

Again, I'm not sure (yet) about any mileage increase, but will write back and repost after a few tanks have been used.  So far, very impressed!  The Zoom-Zoom is back!

I came to know about K&N thru media. Being a owner of a multi brand comprehensive automobile workshop, I requested for a demo piece, which they accepted by rushing it within a day. I first used in a Tata Indica and found an instant change in the performance and power in it. Having been satisfied with the product, I ordered it for my Ford Escort 1998 model and the result was same.

Having been fully satisfied, I approched K&N national distributor Methods at Bangalore to appoint me as their dealer.

Now, I am not only selling it suceesfully to my customers, but also started sending to far away places like Jaipur (Rajasthan, India).

I strongly and confidently recommend for all car and motorcycle users to buy and extend the life of your engine.

K&N filters are great! Going back a few years, I had a 1997 Ford Ranger with the 2.3L 4 cylinder engine and I put in the K&N replacement filter and was pleased. I got better acceleration and quicker throttle response. Before, going up hills I had to downshift from 4th to 3rd on some hills and after I put in the filter I could stay in 4th going up the same hills although it would not accelerate up them but still it was a difference. My gas mileage did not change much, maybe 1mpg more at the most. Well I got rid of that truck and bought a 2004 F150 Heritage with the 4.2L V6 and bought the replacement filter and also noticed an improvement. Acceleration and throttle response again were better and gas mileage went up from an average of 18.5 to 19.9 in the summer. The tank of gas I had in it when I replaced the filter I got 21 mpg but that was the only time I saw 21mpg. And to put this into perspective, the gas ratings are 17 city and 20 highway and I am getting 19.9 on an average. Well yesterday I decided to get a cold air intake for my F150. The 77 series is 1 of 2 choices I had. Well I installed it today in about 1 hour and I've never put in an intake before. Also I'm not very knowledgeable with how to do things under the hood. Changing oil, air filters, headlights, just basic stuff is pretty much all I can do. Instructions are exact only had to double check the instruction sheet once which was because I read it wrong. Well now it's installed and it is a great improvement! It makes the engine sound better while under harder acceleration, and when idling you can hear it sucking air in when the hood is up. When the hood is down you can't hear it hardly at all but it is a nice upgrade. Can't wait to see what it does to the gas mileage but I will buy K&N's for every vehicle I own in the future.

I installed a 14" XStream assembly on my '75 V8 Ford Maverick and it performs awesome. You can actually hear the difference, it outperformed the other aftermarket air cleaner I had on before.

Thanks K&N!

I recently bought the Typhoon intake for my 07 Charger R/T (Yeh its the hemi :]) and I couldn't believe the difference.  It sounds like I got a brand new exhaust, and the power is unbelievable.  I was running at 400 RWHP before the intake and with it installed, I was nearly pushing 415 at 4800.  Great products, and a must have.  Keep up the good work guys at K&N!

Just bought a low-mileage '03 Chrysler 300M Special...I was pleased to find out it already had a K&N drop-in filter, but decided to go with the FIPK replacement for it, both for mileage and performance reasons.   Took it for a few runs around the block to get a feel for the change, but then used it for the normal end-of-week errands around town.  From easy driveability to neck-popping passing power, the change was noticeable from the start.

Own 2001 Ford Sport Trac 4.0 engine. I have a K&N air filter since new we use this truck for our pilot car busseness every day. We travel all over the states with it. It now has 373158 miles on it and runs like new. All original motor nothing has been replaced and looking to get another 300,000 miles out of the motor or more the way it runs now.

I bought a K&N air filter for my 02 Tahoe 5.3 about 6 months ago. My gas mileage when up from 14 mpg to 18 mpg. The power was like I was driving a totally different truck...I put a stock air filter back in the Tahoe to trade it in and gave the K&N filter to my brother for his Silverado. The Tahoe fell on its face on the way to the dealership I couldn't believe the power difference from the K&N filter to the paper one. When I bought my 08 Silverado, as soon as I pulled out of the dealership I went to the local auto parts store for to a new K&N filter for it...

Thanks for the great product...

Follow up from March 28, 2008 - We just got our first K&N filter yesterday for my mom's 1985 Mercedes 380 SE. IT IS AMAZING! Barely any throttle will make the car get up and go now, the V8 is definately performing to its top potential. And if you stand on the gas from a light it will easily pull away from anything that was next to it

Soon as we stop messing around with it we'll check the fuel economy
K&N you rule!

I just installed your K&N airfilter in my 2004 Grand Prix GT2 with 3.8L, what a difference in performance and gas mileage. You guy's make one hell of a product and I recommend it to all my friends and family.

I recently purchased a 1998 Ford Explorer in mint condition with very low mileage. The previous owner was very meticulous in maintaining it. The reason he sold it was the mileage was awful,(14 mpg). I took it to my local Ford dealer, and the mechanic recommended I try a K&N air filter, which I did, It went from 14 to 18 mpg. In a year's worth of driving that will save me approximately 280 gal. of gas @ $3.50 a gal. That amounts to $980. Really has made a believer out of me.

I JUST INSTALLED THE INTAKE SYSTEM FROM K&N ON MY 2004 CHEVY CREW CAB WITH THE 6.0 GAS ENGINE AND IT WAS THE BEST UPGRADE FOR THE MONEY. THE SOUND, PERFORMANCE, GAS MILEAGE INCREASE, AND THROTTLE RESPONSE. GREAT GREAT PRODUCT.

Visited Autozone and they recommended the filter. Installed it, took only about 5 minutes.
Immediately noticed difference in power and mileage. Increased Hwy mileage on my 2007 Duramax Silverado one ton from 17 hwy to over 19 mpg. I wish I would of replaced my stock filter with this unit long ago. It was only about 15 dollars more than the stock filter.
Excellent investment!!

 I just finished installing my K&N 77 series kit on my 03 Avalanche.The sound and the throttle response are incredible. The instructions provided are clear and concise. I am now headed out to the highway to give it the test it deserves. Thank you for a great product.

Hi,
I have installed K&N air filter on my 1.3 GETZ it had an immediate impact on the engine...

Looking forward to even trying out K&N oil filter with Petronas Sytium oil... heard it's a good combination...

Regards

Bought the K&N Typhoon kit for my Toyota Corolla T Sport a couple of months ago. The sound out of it is just awesome, espeicially after Lift kicks in at 6200RPM.

Can't say I've noticed the fuel improvements as I use £25 every 3 or 4 days, that noise and power is too attractive to drive sensibly!

My dad's a car collector and we have a few cars
1985 Mercedes 380SE
1981 Mercedes 380SL
1976 Mercedes 420SEL
1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi
1976 El Camino Classic  (mine) =)
1991 Mercedes 190 2.3
and a few more and...
I 've always heard about K&N filters and always wanted to get them for our cars. I mean more fuel economy AND power! What could be greater than that? So I rode in my friends 2001 Mercedes E320 and I've driven these cars before and they seem to have a bit of lag stock. But his was a beast away from stop lights and made a great sound. Turns out he had K&N filters in it. I asked him and he said he's averaging about 4MPG's better.

After that I've pretty much become an unofficial K&N salesman.
I've talked about 10 of my friends into getting them for their cars.
2004 civic 1996 ford ranger
2000 Mercedes CL600
and even one of my friends into getting an intake on his '96 Custom Mustang
(Can we say possible sponsorship? =) )
So I decided to talk my mom into getting one for her 85 Mercedes 380SE and we just ordered our first one today so I can't wait for it to come in and see the difference. It'll decide if we get them in all of our cars. I have total confidence and can't wait to post when we find the results.

I had bought a K&N cold intake for my 04 Cummins and I was impressed with the awesome change in it. The extra power and saving a little more money at the pump wasn't too bad either. So just recently I bought a 08 Toyota Tundra and I put the K&N series 77 intake in it, the sound I got now is awesome and the extra hp is there when I need it. Haven't really had the chance to see if it saves at the pump, all I have been doing is putting pedal down and listening to motor roar. Thanks.

Over 35 years ago I started working at a local Kawaski dealership. The hot mod for a KZ900 was a 4 into 1 header, a little rejetting, removal of the stock air box and add K&N's. The extra room around the carbs made sync and tune soo much easier. The only problem I thought was water going thru the filters from rain and pressure washing. Soon I found my fears unwarranted. The K&N's stood up to total abuse. I curse anyone who would remove this filter. They work forever! Learn how to clean them, put them on your daily driver and never buy another filter. Save fuel and gain horsepower!

Just received a text from my son in which we just installed a K&N intake kit on his 04 Titan, he said
new oil filter - $10.00 bucks
oil change     - $25.00 bucks
new k&n intake - $250.00 bucks
out running a new 08 toyota tunda with 75 more hp- Priceless

Thanks for such a good product

I just installed a K&N Filter in my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Hemi. The check engine light that's been on for a few weeks went out after just a few seconds. The stock filter really did not look dirty. With about 100 miles on the K&N I can see improvement in gas mileage already. Well worth the extra money, it will pay for itself soon.

Thanks....

After experiencing a significant power & fuel mileage improvement in my 1992 HD Sportster after installing your air & oil filters, I finally purchased an air filter for my 2002 5.4 lliter V8 Expedition. Have not finished the first tank of gas since installing to check fuel mileage improvement, but the improved accleration was quickly noticed. Engine starts easier, warms up quicker, & the acceleration from a dead stop is noticeably brisker according to my seat-of-the-pants dyno !!! At my age(57) I have finally decided on some absolutes in my life: Jesus, Harley-Davidson, Amsoil syn lubricants in everything, Accell spark plugs & wires, Amsoil/K&N oil filters, but the air filter has got to be nothing less than K&N !!!  Thanks for adding new life to the internal combustion engine. PS: Got an air filter for my JD riding mower ???  It could use some improvement also---ha-ha-ha  

Congratulations on a fantastic product. I own a Citroen Xantia HDI 2ltr diesel, now semi retired, after 51 yrs on the spanners, also I tow a caravan 15ft. I am really pleased with my K&N filter, I fact I have just purchased a Daihatsu Sirion 1ltr petrol car ,so am going to put a filter in this one as well, as petrol in the Uk is £1/04 a ltr, so one has to get the most out of your petrol as possible.

I had tried the filter alone on my '81 Monte Carlo, then my Grand Prix, then my 95 Aurora. I still have the Aurora, I now have an 02 Silverado quad cab long bed w/6 ltr gas, 410 gears and 295/75/16. I never bought the whole system, just the filter. It took a bad investment in an oil change. N-E-ways my mileage and performance took a dive. I was upset and went shopping for stuff for my truck. Like I said I just bought the filter due to the price of a complete unit $300. Since I was mad at the oil, I bought the complete FIPK #5730311. I only put this unit on in about 45min and went to work that morning. The difference from before, the truck just pulls. I used less gas that morning than before my stupid mistake with the oil. At gas prices these days, I thank you. The sound from a dead stop is just great. The sound from 3000 rpms and up is wicked. Sorry I never bought the complete package from you before. So to say I'm sorry I ordered the packaged for my Aurora. To everybody, make the investment. Buy the complete system. U will not be let down. I've had it for two weeks and have saved $64-67 in fuel. Not to mention the smile to sound ratio. And yes I changed the oil.

In 2002 I bought a 95 Saturn and was going to buy an air filter for it. When I realized how much a filter for a Saturn cost, the guy at the parts desk told me about K&N filters. At first I was skeptical, but I knew the guy well and decided that I would give it a try seeing that a paper filter cost nearly the same as a K&N one did. I've been using them ever since. Even in a lil Saturn I noticed improved power and started getting 45 miles per gallon on the highway! Before that I only got 37 mpg on the highway. I own a 2003 Cavelier now and the minute I got it, I put a K&N in it. You guys make a great product that I'll keep using.
