The landmark E250 4-cylinder diesel engine powers 68 E-Class Mercedes-Benz models from 2009-2015, and they only need one replacement air filter from K&N.

What comes to mind when Mercedes-Benz is mentioned in automotive conversation? The answer is Teutonic efficiency, impeccable engineering, solid construction, classic design lines, understated elegance, and exemplary dealer support. Add to this, the company’s rich corporate history, past racing success, and the Patentwagen (world’s first automobile circa 1898). Yes, all of that. But does anyone think “innovative, efficient, economical 4-cylinder diesel in an executive class car”? Not until 2009, when Mercedes-Benz repowered its E-Class with the breakthrough E250 L4-2.1L diesel.

Mercedes executives asked the motoring public to “imagine a 4-cylinder diesel”, and they were able to do so. By early 2012 the E-Class achieved a 500,000-unit sedan production milestone. That it also got a complete “facelift” redesign in the W212 series for 2013 helped as well, reestablishing its reputation for solid, balanced elegance. And, what may be its most economical E-Class powerplant, the E250 BlueTec, has kept this line confident and moving forward for more than seven years.

This mighty turbocharged mini, at 2.1 liters, 195 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, continues to power a near-two-ton luxury sedan around town and on road trips with reliability and performance nearly comparable to its 6-cylinder sibling, and has been described as “the most fuel-efficient” in the line. The powertrain is hefty, with a seven-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles on the steering wheel, and an automatic stop-start function that turns off the engine when the car stops to save fuel. Equipped with the same trim level accoutrements as the larger cars it accelerates a bit slower, but it saves considerably on engine consumables. What a best-case scenario for the post-decession car owner to keep that thrifty powerplant healthy by using a cleanable, reusable K&N E-2998 Replacement Air Filter?

A diesel engine needs more airflow and better particulate protection than a comparably sized gasoline powerplant, and the K&N E-2998 air filter fills the bill with increased dust-trapping ability

For diesels, it is perhaps more important to have good air filtration because their higher compression ratios demand greater airflow. Without adequate particulate reduction, this engine can wear more quickly and severely than a gasoline engine. This is where the K&N E-2998 Replacement Air Filter can help by trapping more dirt particles and high airflow efficiency. This filter’s overall filtration rating, when testing following the internationally recognized ISO5011 test protocol, is 97.99%. Interestingly enough, there are 68 E-Class models in the K&N vehicle applications list, ranging from 2009 to 2015, that all share the same Mercedes part number and can use this filter.

This K&N air filter, constructed with unique oiled cotton gauze material, can be removed from the air box, cleaned and reused after about 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. The filter is “emissions legal” in all 50 U.S. states, won’t void the vehicle warranty and, should anything be remiss, it is covered a worry-free 10-year/million-mile limited Warranty.

More than 65 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, and GLK vehicle models can make use of the same K&N E-2988 replacement air filter

K&N 69-3535TP Typhoon Performance Intake System for the 2015-2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

From movies and TV shows, to college campuses and church parking lots, the Ford Mustang has become so ingrained in American culture that even non-car people can pick one out of a lineup. The all new for 2015 6th-Gen 2015-2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 brings this iconic muscle car into the 21st century, with a host of modern amenities like a fully independent suspension, loads of electronic driver aides, and a revised version of the Coyote 5.0L V8. With 435-hp and 400 lb-ft of twist, you've got enough power to reach 60 mph in nothing-flat. Plus, the available Line Lock feature will even hold the front brakes for you, so you can easily do epic burnouts. But if you want to increase your pony-power by an estimated 19 horsepower, then you're going to want a K&N 69-3535TP Typhoon Performance Intake System.

The all new for 2015 6th-Gen 2015-2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 brings this iconic muscle car into the 21st century

The 5.0L Coyote V8 in the 2015-2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 uses all sorts of trick components to make and manage power. But no matter how many computer controlled gadgets live under the hood, an engine still needs air to burn fuel and create horsepower. On the 2015 & 2016 Mustang GT, air has to first travel through a restrictive air box and thick paper air filer, then into a narrow intake tube that curves around to the throttle body. Once the air exits the air box, those accordion-like folds in the intake tube cause it to swirl around and become turbulent. So by the time it reaches the cylinders, the air has become warm, with an inconsistent flow pattern.

The K&N 69-3535TP Typhoon Performance Intake System is designed to reduce airflow restrictions and turbulence, by exchanging the narrow factory intake for a much larger aluminum intake tube; complete with a wide angle mandrel-bent curve to help straighten the airflow path. The interior of the chrome-like finished K&N intake tube is completely smooth to prevent air turbulence. And for a hassle-free installation (which usually takes about 90 minutes), the intake has integrated fittings for the mass airflow sensor, crank case and EVAP vent lines, as well as the idle bypass lines.

The K&N 69-3535TP Typhoon Performance Intake System is designed to reduce airflow restrictions and turbulence with its chrome-like mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube

Feeding the system is an oversized, high-flow K&N performance air filter. This reusable cotton gauze filter is able to provide superior air filtration, and superior airflow. It can also go for up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be cleaned (depending on driving conditions). To help prevent the filter from sucking in warm air from inside the engine bay, the K&N filter is surrounded by an application specific sealed air filter heat shield that mounts in place of the stock air box.

Dyno results for a K&N 69-3535TP Typhoon Intake System installed on a 2015-2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8

Thanks to a more direct airflow path, the K&N 69-Series Typhoon Intake System is able to deliver a much larger volume of air to the cylinders. This results in a significant horsepower and torque increase. Along with much faster throttle response and a more satisfying engine note during acceleration. K&N installed a K&N 69-3535TP Intake on a stock 2015 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L, and dyno testing revealed an estimated increase of 19.25 horsepower and 16.75 ft-lb of torque. This is a considerable improvement over stock, but your individual results may vary due to the mileage, modifications and condition of your specific Mustang.

K&N also makes other Mustang performance parts, such as K&N Air Intake Systems for the Ford Mustang of different years/engine sizes, or K&N Air Filters for the Ford Mustang, that can give your pony car a lot more giddy-up. Another way to check out what's available is to use the Search by Vehicle Tool, or find a K&N dealer near you.

K&N October 2015 calendar model Katie Vernola used her modeling career to save money for a Polaris RZR 900 and begin racing

Katie Vernola got her WORCS round 2 race off to a good start by immediately squeezing her way into third place and avoiding a crash

Round two of the 2016 World Off Road Championship Series (WORCS) took place in Primm, Nevada. Primm, Nevada is located 35 miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada on Interstate-15. The WORCS track was located behind the Buffalo Bills Hotel & Casino.

While the K&N Filters sponsored UTV Racer Katie Vernola has plenty of experience racing UTV classes in the Terracross and Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series, the WORCS series is an entirely new experience for her in 2016.

"WORCS is really different, but I really like it. It is more about having fun out here. I really enjoy the 45 minute moto versus the Lucas Oil twelve lap moto. I know the tracks are going to keep getting harder and harder, so hopefully I can get my car beefed up and ready to handle the gnarly WORCS tracks," said Vernola.

Katie got off to an excellent start from the line squeezing her way into third place immediately. At the same time she had been able to avoid getting tangled up a crash as racers battled to get the hole shot. "I don't know how I made it through honestly. Two cars right in front of me rolled in the start. It was chaos," said Vernola.

After the first lap of Katie Vernola's WORCS round two race, she found herself in second place in her K&N air filter equipped # 72 Polaris RZR 1000

After the first lap of Katie Vernola's WORCS round two race, she found herself in second place in her K&N air filter equipped # 72 Polaris RZR 1000 and battling with the leader. Of her performance early on, Katie said, "It was a great feeling. It was something I've never felt before."

Katie V Racing relies on the superior performance and superior protection offered by K&N air filters and K&N oil filters to keep her Polaris RZR 1000 engine in tip top shape

Unfortunately, Katie's Polaris RZR 1000 side by side suffered a mechanical issue, forcing her to ease up and play it smart in hopes that she would actually finish the race. In the end, Katie Vernola managed to limp her Polaris RZR 1000 across the finish line for sixth place.

Afterward Katie commented on her race, "I really liked it. I had a lot of fun and I look forward to the next race. The track was great and my car feels amazing, all the new products on it make it really feel stable. I know if we work these bugs out I can win."

To gain additional seat time before the next WORCS race, Katie Vernola attended the UTV World Championship in Laughlin, Nevada. The third round of WORCS racing will take place the weekend of February 26-28, 2016 at the South Point Casino on the outskirts of Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada. Katie hopes to earn a spot on the podium before the end of the February.

Katie Vernola and Katie V Racing rely on the superior performance and superior protection offered by K&N air filters and K&N oil filters to keep her Polaris RZR 1000 engine in tip top shape.

Although 2016 mark's Shea Holbrook's seventh year competing in various touring car classes, this will be her first full season back in the Pirelli World Championship in several years

For years now the Orlando, Florida race car driver, Shea Holbrook, has relied on the support, performance, and protection of K&N Filters for her racing efforts. Much of Shea's time spent on the track has been competing in the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) championship series since 2010 behind the wheel of a touring car.

Of the PWC series, Shea said "We race what the everyday American drives. With that said we take a showroom car, strip out the interior, cage it and add performance parts to help with the overall durability of the car and flatout make a "stock car" run as fast as it possibly can. In cars like ours a 1 hp difference is huge so, to keep our cars running at top level we need filters that will allow more air entering the engine to increase the efficiency of the combustion process which ultimately means more power! This is what K&N filters provide."

Jason Fichter has joined the Shea Racing team and he brings his experience gained racing the Pirelli World Challenge and Trans Am Series TA3 class

Although 2016 mark's Shea Holbrook's and the Shea Racing team's seventh year competing in various touring car classes, this will be her first full season back in the Pirelli World Championship in several years. In 2015 Shea made the podium twice at the Circuit of the Americas; however she focused much of her time behind the wheel of a jet powered drag car in the IHRA Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series.

Additionally, Jason Fichter has joined the Shea Racing team and he brings his experience gained racing the Pirelli World Challenge and Trans Am Series TA3 class. Both Holbrook and her teammate Fichter will pilot 2016 Honda Accord models powered by 3.5-liter V6 engines. Fichter will drive the number 7 Mother's Car Care, Fuel Clothing, Donate Life Honda Accord V6, and Holbrook will compete in the number 67 BUBBA Burger, Lucas Oil, Koni Shock Absorber, Hendrick Honda Accord V6.

Simple Honda Accord Performance upgrades, whether for cars raced in the Pirelli World Challenge or daily driven, can be found on the K&N Air Intake Systems for the Honda Accord or K&N Air Filters for the Honda Accord pages.

Long time K&N Filters sponsored racer Tyler Clem, son of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, captured two Bubba Army Winternationals top 10s in his K&N equipped #14 Crate Late Model

The long time K&N Filters sponsored racer Tyler Clem, son of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, was lucky enough to snag two top ten finishes in the first double header weekend of the 5th annual Bubba Army Winternationals series held at Bubba Raceway Park near Ocala, Florida. The 3/8 mile, D shaped, Semi-banked, clay track at Bubba Raceway Park, also called Ocala Speedway, Zuber Speedway, Marion Speedway, and Lightning Speedway over the years, has been in operation since 1952, making it the oldest track in the state of Florida.

Bubba Raceway Park hosts several racing classes, including Late Model, Open Wheel Modified, Hobby Stock, Mini Stock, V-8 Thunderstock, and Gladiators. 13-year-old Tyler Clem, who began his racing career in 2008 behind the wheel of a Quarter Midget, is currently racing his K&N air filter equipped Bubba Army #14 Rocket Late Model car in the 2016 Bubba Army Winternationals NeSmith Dirt Late Model class. Tyler was one of 53 Crate Late Models registered on Friday January 29th for the NeSmith Chevrolet Winter Shootout portion of the Bubba Army Winternationals. Clem fell just short of a transfer spot in his consolation event, and shifted his focus to the doubleheader event the next day.

Tyler Clem got his 2016 season started off on the right foot with a strong showing in the 25th Annual Ice Bowl at the Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama

For the $3,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday afternoon, Tyler logged the 10th fastest qualifying time. Clem's excellent qualifying run put him into his heat starting from the pole position. The top four finishers in Clem's heat race transferred directly into the feature and Tyler earned a solid 3rd place heat finish. With a guaranteed spot in the main event, Clem took advantage of the 50 lap main to work his way to the front. Tyler crossed the line in 4th place behind Kyle Bronson, Max Blair, and Mark Whitener. Austin Kirkpatrick rounds out the top five in the $3,000-to-win A-Main.

Tyler Clem raced again later that night. This time for the 100-lap NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series World Championship $10,000-to-win, A-Main. This race was carried over from 2015 due to weather. Tyler Clem started 15th in the main and before the race was over he gained eight spots recording a solid 7th place finish. Going forward Clem will be splitting his time in the driver's seat behind the wheel of his #14 Late Model, #14 Modified, and his #14 Sprint Car. The Fifth Annual Bubba Army Winter Nationals takes place over 11 nights and features some of the best dirt racers. The series concludes February 20th, 2016 with the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars / Midgets races.
