K&N Engineering has released a High Flow Air Intake System (69-8432TS) in powder coated silver for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Saturn Sky 2.4 liter engine and the 2006 to 2019 Pontiac Solstice 2.4 liter engine.

K&N dynamometer tests show a 5.41 horsepower gain @ 4700 RPM. The heat shield is designed to go between the oversized K&N High-Flow Conical Air Filter (RU-4990) and the front of the radiator. This isolates the filter from engine bay heat and keeps the air around it cooled.

The extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The oversized air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a clearing (up to 100.000 miles) is required.

The K&N Air Filter is also protected by a Drycharger which provides added protection by repelling water from entering the intake track. The 69-8432TS is made from a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube.

It takes about an 90 minutes to install this K&N High-Flow Air Intake system with simple hand tools. The 69-8432TS is designed to improve engine performance and add under the hood visual appeal. K&N High-Flow Air Intake Systems come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

2007 to 2017 Passat and Audi with New K&N Air Filter Get a Lifetime Performance Upgrade

Air Filter for Volkswagen Passat and Audi A3

Air Filter for Volkswagen Passat and Audi A3

The Volkswagen Passat is a utilitarian workhorse with a great ergonomic layout in the passenger cabin. The Passat shares its basic architecture with the Audi A3 which also has a roomy interior.

K&N Engineering has released a washable, reusable, panel air filter (33-2384) for certain 2007 to 2017 Volkswagen Passat models, 2013-2017 Audi Q3 Models, 2010 to 2016 Volkswagen CC models, 2003 to 2010 Audi A3 models, 2008 to 2015 Skoda Superb models, and 2006 to 2014 Audi TT/TTS/TT RS models. K&N replacement air filters are backed by our original Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need. See the full list of 33-2384 applications below.

K&N Air Filters are effective due to the type of cotton we use, the weave of the individual cotton strands, the process by which it is woven, the chemistry of the oil, the oil's viscosity and absorbency along with the structural aspects of the aluminum wire.

K&N invented the concept of washable, reusable filters more than 35 years ago. There is a great deal of engineering behind every K&N Filter. Each filter is custom designed to fit in the factory air box and requires no modifications. K&N Air Filters are designed to increase horsepower while providing excellent engine protection. They will not void factory warranties.

The 33-2384 will fit the following vehicles:

Chris Steele returned to action at the Cherokke Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina for round seven of the City Chevrolet Big 10 Summer Series.

“Our K&N Engineering Products worked awesome,” said Steele. “I really couldn’t picture racing without them, we wouldn’t be here without our sponsors.”

During the feature Steele moved his machine toward the front of the pack. After a late race restart Steele passed Billy Thompson to take over the fourth place position. Steele moved forward and chased Chris Ferguson, but couldn’t get close enough.

On the final circuit Steele chose the outside lane and Ferguson stayed low. Steele rolled by on the outside and moved up. “Our car was pretty good,” he said. “We are still looking to get within a win at Cherokee Speedway. It seems like every time we get close something happens to put us behind. This was a good night for points and we will take that any day.”

Steele and his crew are headed out to Green Valley Speedway for a Fastrak Southern Region Touring race. The event at the Glencoe, Alabama oval track will pay $2,000 to the winner.

The staff is also very knowledgeable.”

Brent Mattraw, owner of a 2001 Audi S4 entered in the Street Car Challenge was also happy with the K&N Staff. “It’s awesome to turn over the keys to my car to a very professional crew at K&N,” he said. “There is never any drama and K&N people know how everything works. The group is always very helpful. The dyno room is great. I’ve used K&N Filters my whole life.”

Ed Haroutonian is competing in the 2007 Ultimate Street Car Challenge with his 1969 2002 model BMW. “My car tested very well in the first category,” he said. “I use K&N Oil Filter HP-2009, it is a great product.”

The first day is over, cars were judged by a team of experts for their presentation and engineering. Cars battle it out next at California Speedway in Fontana, California.

To add performance K&N replaces the original restrictive air intake with a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system . The K&N Lifetime Replacement Air Filter (RU-4960) is protected by a powder coated steel heat shield. The heat shield connects into the existing factory airbox mounts. It isolates the K&N Air Filter from the engine compartment and allows the K&N Air Filter to receive a consistent flow of fresh cool air. The result is guaranteed horsepower and increased acceleration.

The 69-8609TTK can easily be installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Warranty.
