The K&N heat shield prevents the warm engine bay air from entering the 2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 and 2014-2016 VW Jetta intake system, plus it takes advantage of the factory cold air inlet

The 2014-2016 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is a practical car, for people with taste. Most affordable compact sedans are about as boring as a 2-hour documentary on the History of Documentaries. The VW Jetta GLI on the other hand, puts fun first with a lowered sport suspension, a trick front differential to power you through curves, and aggressive styling.

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat has an intercooled 1.8L turbo-4, which packs an impressive 210-hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, but could be improved with a K&N air intake system

The 2014-2016 VW Jetta GLI also has an intercooled 1.8L turbo-4, which packs an impressive 210-hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. This engine became available in the Volkswagen Passat for 2015. That's enough twist to get you to 60 mph in the high-6 second range. But if you want to turn your VeeDub into a real Autobahn cruiser, the K&N 69-9507TTK Typhoon Performance Intake System can add an estimated 3.8-hp and 5.7 lb-ft of torque. And by eliminating airflow restrictions, this K&N intake can help the turbo spool up faster for more immediate throttle response.

To make power, a turbo engine uses exhaust gases to spin a turbine that forces air inside the intake. But the air must first be cooled, so it's routed through a sort of 'air radiator' called an intercooler. Since fuel needs air in order to burn, adding a high volume of oxygen-rich cold air will cause a stronger combustion cycle, which results in more horsepower. However, most factory intake systems, like the one on your 2014-2016 Jetta/Passat 1.8L turbo, use narrow intake tubes that are full of sharp bends, and other obstructions.

The stock air intake tract can cause the air to swirl around as it enters the system, and this turbulence can make the intercooler less effective. By eliminating these restrictions and straightening the airflow path, the K&N 69-9507TTK Typhoon Performance Intake System is able to feed the motor a higher volume of cold air, allowing it to make more power, from roughly the same amount of fuel.

In order to give your VW turbo more air to work with, the K&N 69-Series Typhoon Performance Intake System replaces the narrow plastic factory intake tubes with a wider, powder-coated aluminum K&N intake tube. The aluminum tube is bent using an industrial mandrel bending machine, to provide a smoother, low-restriction airflow path.

Air enters the system through a high-flow K&N performance air filter, which sits behind an application specific air filter heat shield, located where the stock air box used to be. The K&N heat shield prevents the warm engine bay air from entering the system, plus it takes advantage of the factory cold air inlet.

The large reusable K&N cotton gauze air filter included in air intake 69-9507TTK is able to filter a large volume of air, removing contaminants that are as small as the diameter of a human hair. That dirt can also stay trapped in the oiled cotton fibers for up to 100,000 miles before the filter needs to be cleaned (depending on driving conditions). And since the mandrel-bent K&N intake tubes have built-in fittings for the vacuum lines, you can install the K&N Typhoon intake system in about 90 minutes, using simple hand tools.

Each K&N performance air intake system is engineered to fit a specific engine, so you will never receive a bunch of flimsy 'universal fit' parts. K&N takes quality very seriously, and each of our intake systems is backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. To verify horsepower gains, a K&N 69-9507TTK Typhoon Performance Intake System was installed on a stock 2015 Volkswagen Passat 1.8L. The dyno tests revealed an estimated increase of 3.84 horsepower and 5.7 lb-ft of torque. Throttle response and engine sound were also greatly improved. But your individual results may vary, due to mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific Jetta GLI/Passat.

K&N also makes lots of other performance parts to fit everything from Acura to Yamaha. To check them out, click here to use the Search by Vehicle Tool, or here here to find a K&N dealer near you.

K&N 63-2593 AirCharger High Performance Intake System for the 2015 or 2016 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost

Thanks to some seriously advanced turbocharging technology, Ford engineers were able to squeeze a staggering 325-hp and 375 lb-ft of torque from the tiny 2.7L EcoBoost V6. This allows the 2015-2016 Ford F-150 2.7 EcoBoost to work like it's got a V8 under the hood, even towing up to 8,500 lbs. when properly equipped. But no matter how powerful that tiny little turbo-6 is, there's always room for improvement. And by simply opening up the restricted stock intake tract, the K&N 63-2593 AirCharger Performance Intake System is able to add an estimated 19-hp & 34 ft-lb of torque to the power tally, making your F-150 2.7L V6 EcoBoost more powerful than many V8's in its class.

Ford engineers were able to squeeze a staggering 325-hp and 375 lb-ft from the tiny F150 2.7L EcoBoost V6, but there's always room for improvement

The reason that a turbocharged engine is able to make such impressive power is a little thing called "Forced Induction". Every time the engine expels exhaust, those gasses spin a little turbine that forces air into the cylinders. This additional air is then mixed with fuel and detonated to make power. The problem is most factory intake systems (like the one installed on the Ford EcoBoost 2.7L) use different sized narrow intake tubes, with lots of bends and uneven surfaces on the inside. As the air flows into these restrictions, it becomes turbulent and the airflow going into the cylinders will be uneven. This causes the engine to produce less power than it actually could. The K&N 63-2593 AirCharger High Performance Intake System is engineered to eliminate these restrictions and straighten out the airflow path. So your 2015 or 2016 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost engine can live up to its true potential.

To open up the airflow path, the K&N 63-2593 AirCharger Performance Intake replaces the narrow factory intake tubes, with a roto-molded high density polyethylene K&N intake tube that is wider, and has a smooth interior. This allows more air to flow into the system, and the smooth surface ensures that air rushes right to the cylinders, instead of swirling around all of those obstructions. The intake tube also includes a built-in fitting for the factory air temperature sensor, so you can install the entire system in about 90 minutes, without making any additional modifications.

Feeding this K&N air intake is a large conical K&N performance air filter, mounted behind a heat shield that fits in place of the stock air filter box lid. The heat shield helps keep the warm air inside the engine bay from entering the system, and the filter is positioned to collect cold air from outside the engine compartment (oxygen-rich cold air helps the engine to make more power during detonation). By delivering a higher volume of cold air through a low-restriction intake system, the EcoBoost turbos are able to spool-up faster, providing more power, and faster throttle response.

K&N installed a K&N 63-2593 AirCharger Performance Intake System on a stock 2015 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost, and dyno testing revealed an estimated increase of 19.37 horsepower and 34.08 ft-lb of torque. That's a dramatic improvement over stock, but your individual results may vary, due to the mileage, modifications, and overall condition of your specific F-150 EcoBoost.

Besides improving the performance of your EcoBoost F-150, the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System will actually save you money in the long-run. Instead of spending $15-$25 every 10,000-15,000 miles to replace your OEM paper air filter, the reusable K&N performance air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be cleaned (depending on driving conditions). And the oil-treated cotton gauze filter material is efficient at removing airborne contaminants, so your engine and turbos will be protected from dirt and dust. Plus, the entire system is backed by a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty.

K&N also makes lots of other Ford F-150 performance parts, including K&N Air Filters for the Ford F150 as well as additional K&N Air Intake Systems for the Ford F150 .

Keeping Acura's flagship 2014, 2015, 2016 RLX luxury sedan on course for longevity and reliability is the K&N 33-5011 Replacement Air Filter, which fits precisely into the stock air filter box

The Acura RLX is the latest luxury sedan flagship of the Acura line that, when launched in 2013, was praised for its direct-injected, 310-hp V6 engine and an array of new technology as standard equipment. It beat a U.S. domestic sedan in early automotive media comparison drives, and for 2016 has received 19-inch rims, chassis & suspension upgrades for improved ride quality, and even more safety features.

In laboratory testing, following the ISO5011 air filtration protocol developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers, this filter in the RLX was rated with an air filtration efficiency of 98.25%

During development of the RLX in the post-2009 recession days, Honda executives said their thoughts had turned more toward producing premium vehicles incorporating advanced environmental technologies rather than cars with glamorous add-ons. This thought process produced a comfortable vehicle with more value than standout looks, but, combined with Acura's reputation for offering a lively ride, the RLX is leaving a noticeable wake for others to follow.

The course to enhancing the RLX's performance, value and longevity is to reduce air intake tract restriction without sacrificing engine protection with a K&N 33-5011 Replacement Air Filter. The K&N 33-5011 replacement air filter for the Acura RLX provides an enhanced blend of high airflow, filtration efficiency, and dust capacity to protect and keep the 3.5L V6 breathing effortlessly.

In laboratory testing, following the ISO5011 air filtration protocol developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers, this filter in the RLX was rated with an air filtration efficiency of 98.25% overall. As more air that flows through the filter, the more particulate matter it collects, and the air filtration efficiency improves. K&N air filters use an oiled cotton gauze filtration media. The airflow of a cotton air filter is superior to synthetic media and paper, but the use of oil means that filtration efficiency isn’t sacrificed.

K&N replacement air filters can be cleaned every 50,000 miles, or sooner depending on driving conditions, with a K&N Air Filter Cleaning Kit. Installing the 2014-2016 RLX V6 replacement K&N air filter, number 33-5011, is easy to do, reduces some of the costs of maintaining a luxury vehicle and gives owners an opportunity to do some of their own maintenance.

Introduced in 2007, the second generation Toyota Tundra was designed to shake up the American full-size truck market and could be ordered with a 5.7-liter i-Force V8

50-state street legal K&N FIPK Air Intake System 57-9031 includes a new K&N air filter and intake tube, but retains the factory air box to keep all emissions equipment intact

Introduced in 2007, the second generation Toyota Tundra was designed to shake up the American full-size truck market. Unlike their previous attempt, this Tundra was just as big as an F-150 or Silverado, and it could be ordered with a more American-sized 5.7-liter i-Force V8 engine. With 381-hp and 401 ft-lb of torque, the towing and payload capacity of the 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra 5.7L was now on-par with its more powerful domestic rivals. The 2008-2013 Toyota Sequoia also got a similar size and practicality increase. But the Toyota iForce 5.7L V8 is actually capable of a whole lot more, and the K&N 57-9031 street legal FIPK Performance Air Intake has been specifically engineered to unlock your big Yoda's true potential.

An engine makes power by burning a mixture of air and fuel inside the cylinders. So when you add a larger amount of cold air to that air/fuel mix, the extra oxygen molecules in the cold air will cause the fuel to combust with more force. This 'force' translates to horsepower and torque, and it can be achieved using roughly the same amount of fuel. To do this, the K&N 57-9031 FIPK Performance Air Intake System replaces the narrow factory intake tube with a free-flowing roto-molded K&N intake tube. The smooth interior of this large diameter polyethylene tube reduces air turbulence, and allows more air to flow directly into the throttle body with less restriction.

The K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Intake System utilizes the factory air box, which not only makes for a quick installation, even less than the usual 90 minutes, but it also makes this K&N intake system completely street legal in all 50 states. This design allows the factory emissions equipment to be left unmodified, so this kit has been issued an Exemption Order (EO) number by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to validate its compliance with state laws.

The K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Intake System utilizes the factory air box, which makes for a quick installation that can be completed in even less time than the usual 90 minutes

To verify performance gains, K&N 57-9031 FIPK Air Intake System was installed on a 2012 Toyota Tundra 5.7L, and dyno testing showed an estimated gain of 5.87 HP and 12.97 ft-lb of torque

To feed the K&N intake system a higher volume of cold air, a free-flowing K&N performance air filter is installed inside the factory air box. This reusable cotton gauze air filter allows more air to enter the system than an OEM paper air filter. Yet, the oil treated filter media is able to attract and trap considerably more contaminants, yielding excellent filtration efficiency.

Because the sticky cotton fibers, pleated into a large surface area, can hold onto the dirt without impeding airflow, you can drive for up to 50,000 miles before the filter needs to be cleaned. However, if you drive in dusty/dirty conditions, we recommend that you inspect the filter more often.

To verify the performance gains, we installed a K&N 57-9031 FIPK Air Intake System on a 2012 Toyota Tundra 5.7L, and dyno testing showed an estimated gain of 5.87 horsepower and 12.97 ft-lb of torque. The improved airflow also sharpens the throttle response, which will make towing and hauling heavy loads in your Tundra/Sequoia, considerably easier. But obviously, your individual results may vary, based on the modifications, mileage, and overall condition of your specific truck.

This K&N air intake system is backed by a 10-Year/million mile limited warranty. This K&N 57-Series FIPK Performance Air Intake System can give your Toyota 5.7L i-Force, a lot more 50-state legal 'force', for many years to come.

On top of Mitsubishi's weight and aero improvements, drivers found they could help their Outlander’s performance a little more by installing the K&N 33-3015 Replacement Air Filter

A major component of a vehicle owner's bottom line is performance efficiency, and a K&N Replacement Air Filter can be a significant influence on how that pencils out. When the third-generation Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced to the American market in late 2012 and went on sale in early 2013, it featured a redesign that trimmed nearly 200 lbs. of weight, mostly from the chassis, and a body shape with a lower coefficient of drag.

The manufacturer did claim a boost in performance specs, and the design and construction improvements generated excitement for drivers, but when this 7-seater is hauling the soccer team to the tournament, or the family and all their weekend gear to the mountains, it needs a little help. And the two powertrains for the 4-cylinder engine in the ES and SE models, both fitted with a continuously variable transmission, make acceleration to highway speeds a bit of a chore. Only in the GT model can you get a conventional 6-speed automatic.

The good news is that drivers found they could help improve their Outlander models a little more by installing the K&N 33-3015 Replacement Air Filter. Comments from around the globe that have contributed to a 4.9-star rating for the 33-3015 Air Filter that ranges from "My Outlander Sport is peppier..." to "Installed in my new Mitzi Outlander and noticed quicker response and acceleration." So, the bottom line is: while K&N does not make any specific hp or mpg claims, we simply encourage you to try our air filter products for yourself and you can be the judge.

The K&N 33-3015 replacement air filter is custom-designed to fit 2012-2016 Mitsubishi Outlander, ASX, Lancer, or even Peugot & Citroen models’ air box without special tools or modifications

The K&N 33-3015 replacement air filter is a panel shaped filter that drops directly into the OEM air box of several Mitsubishi models; including 2012-2016 Outlander, ASX, or Lancer models, as well as some vehicles from Peugot & Citroen. It is custom-designed to fit without special tools or modifications, and remains easily removable for cleaning after approximately 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.

Being that this K&N replacement air filter is constructed of cotton gauze, the 33-3015 can be washed, re-oiled with the K&N Air Filter Cleaning Kit, and reused for another 50,000 miles or so. This air filter is backed by a 10-year/million-mile limited warranty, and K&N Test Data shows a filtration efficiency rating of 98.67 percent following ISO 5011 protocol.
