K&N Air Intake System Increases Horsepower on the Harley Davidson Twin Cam 96 & Twin Cam 103

K&N Harley Davidson Air Intake 63-1131

K&N 63-1131P air intake for the 2008-2011 Harley Davidson Twin Cam 96 V-Twin and 2009-2015 Harley Davidson Twin Cam 103 V-Twin

One of the most endearing features of a Harley Davidson® motorcycle is that throbbing V-Twin engine. They've been making them since 1909, and the 2008-2011 Harley Davidson Twin Cam 96 V-Twin and 2009-2015 Harley Davidson Twin Cam 103 V-Twin, are two of the most advanced "potato guns" to date. You get dual camshafts, electronic fuel injection, and a host of other innovative features, all wrapped in a sturdy big-bore package. The low-down torque of the Harley® the 96ci V-Twin and Harley 103ci V-Twin prove that there really is no replacement for displacement. But you can squeeze more horsepower and torque from your air-cooled monster, with the K&N 63-1131 AirCharger performance intake system.

Every Harley Davidson motorcycle turns its drive-wheel by combining gas and air inside its twin-cylinders. This power cocktail is then ignited by the spark plugs, and the resulting explosion sends the piston downward, turning the crankshaft, and eventually the back wheel. But in order for the gasoline to burn in that explosion, oxygen has to be present. That catalyst comes in through the paper air filter, located behind the cool looking chrome cover on the side of your big Harley engine. The problem is, the aesthetics of the bike limit the amount of air that can flow into the throttle body, which ultimately dictates how much power your Harley Twin-Cam engine can make. The K&N 63-1131 AirCharger performance air intake kit addresses this issue, by creating a more direct airflow path to the cylinders. And, it looks a whole lot cooler than the factory lid.

But of course, talk is meaningless without the proof to back it up. So to verify the performance of every cold air intake, K&N conducts before & after dyno tests on the vehicles each system was designed for. Since the K&N 63-1131 performance air intake system will work on both the Harley Davidson Twin Cam 96 V-Twin and Harley Davidson Twin Cam 103 V-Twin, they tested a 2015 Harley Davidson Electra Glide 103 ci, and found that it made 68.20-hp and 87.77 lb-ft at the rear wheel with the Harley Davidson factory air intake and 75.00-hp/94.81 lb-ft with a K&N Harley Davidson air intake. That's an estimated increase of 6.80-hp and 7.04 lb-ft, which you'll certainly notice when you twist the throttle.

NHRA Makes Move to Electronic Fuel Injection for Pro Stock Class

K&N Carbon Fiber Intake Tube 100-8522

K&N carbon fiber intake tube 100-8522 is the mandated intake system for the NHRA Pro Stock class. It consists of two carbon fiber intake tubes, a billet throttle body adapter, two couplers, and hardware.

The only constant in life is change. This saying is becoming more and more true as we progress further into the 21st century. While we aren't riding true hover boards or commuting in flying cars, we have still seen huge changes in all aspects of our daily lives. This is especially true in regards to the technology we use on a daily basis.

These changes can even be seen in some of the most iconic American sports. The additions of the shot clock in basketball, instant replays in baseball, and electronic fuel injection (EFI) in motorsports have all caused a ruckus of one sort or another in their respective fields. When NASCAR made the switch to EFI it signaled a major change for auto racing. While most changes are widely accepted, there has been a bit of resistance to the switch to EFI, even though it has been present in motorsports since at least the 1950s. This may be because people were accustomed to carburetors or maybe because it was relatively easy to make big power with carbs, but whatever the reason, the pushback hasn't seemed to stop the transition.

Most recently, NHRA announced that they changed the regulations for the Pro Stock class and made the switch from carburetion to EFI. In order to do so, there were a lot of associated changes that needed to be made. When NASCAR mandated EFI in 2012, it was made simpler because they were already using the standardized, Car of Tomorrow, chassis.

With NHRA's switch, they made changes not only to the engine but to the exterior body of the cars and the intake tract. "When the NHRA switched the Pro Stock class from carburetors to fuel injection, they came to K&N to design and manufacture an intake system," explained Steve Williams, Chief Engineering Officer at K&N Engineering. "There aren't a lot of times where the sanctioning body, OEMs, chassis builders, and spec parts suppliers have worked so closely together on a project like we did on this one."

NHRA K&N Carbon Fiber Intake Tube Installed

There are hundreds of combinations of body, engine, and intake manifold that the race teams can build. K&N had to keep this in mind and create a system that would be able to be adapted to any of the combinations.

One of the initial problems was the system had to work with every combination of body, motor, and intake manifold that the teams could possibly build. This made an interesting predicament because NHRA only mandated that the throttle body remain within the engine compartment at all times. But it did not limit where in the engine compartment it had to be. As a solution, K&N's new intake system is a two-piece design with a pair of couplers that help the teams adapt it to the location of their throttle body.

"Another problem with the switch is that NHRA removed hood scoops as a method for air intake," added Williams. "This meant that the inlet had to move to the front bumper." The regulation for this inlet is a maximum size of 80 square inches. "This is where we ran into the next issue. The air close to the track is much hotter than the air three or four feet up." This is an issue that teams will have to combat, with help from the EFI manufacturer, Holley. Thanks to the almost unlimited tunable nature of EFI, these kinds of things are able to be accounted for. Carburetion would often cause some pistons to be either too rich or too lean but with EFI, teams can adjust for each piston on each shift during each segment of the run. They can also account for things like air temperature changes throughout the day.

"Even with all the issues presented to us and the short time frame, we were able to work with NHRA, Holley, the race teams, and chassis builders to create an intake system that made the switch to EFI a lot easier," revealed Bert Heck, Performance Kits Manager for K&N Engineering. "After NHRA made the announcement, we had about two months to design, test, and manufacture a kit for all the teams. That is not a lot of time, but with days to spare, K&N 100-8522 carbon fiber intake tube was ready to be shipped to all the Pro Stock teams in time for the first race of the season in Pomona."

Major changes are going to happen and with everyone working together toward the common good, big things can happen. The EFI switch in Pro Stock couldn't have happened without the cooperation and assistance from everyone involved. It just goes to show that even though these teams go out and battle each other week after week, in the end they are willing to come together and help one another out.

2015-2016 Sonata and Optima Get K&N Performance Air Filter Option

K&N Sonata and Optima Air Filter 33-5026

A secondary frame for the K&N 33-5026 is part of the installation to ensure a proper seat for the filter inside the Sonata and Optima air box.

In the insecure days of the Great Recession of 2008-2011, many drivers had to tighten their belts, and run hard to stay in one place. Not everyone could buy a new car every 2-4 years. If they did, they bought economy cars and tried to keep them sound and in service longer. Hyundai and Kia were at the top of the value-priced list for the compact and family-sedan segment. With increasingly better build quality, more attractive sheet metal shapes, and the company's 360-degree/lifetime warranties, these cars became the transportation investment of choice for the value-minded. That the current Optima also won the 2016 Red Dot "Best of the Best" international design award is another acknowledgement to constant improvement.

Consistently lauded by automotive reviewers are the features and benefits being perfected and integrated into Hyundai and Kia products. Safety and technology upgrades have been largely successful, with the 2015 Sonata and 2016 Optima earning perfect five-star overall crash-test ratings in U.S. government testing.

Further, if you're keeping the Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima as a car for your kids to drive in a few years, most models now come with emergency telematics systems (crash response, speed/geo-fencing, curfew limits, and roadside assistance), plus rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and cross-traffic alert.

Sonata and Optima K&N Air Filter

The K&N 33-5026 replacement engine air filter for the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima is a rectangular panel constructed of a special oiled cotton gauze that can be cleaned and reused.

Approximately 1.1 million Hyundai Sonatas and 928,560 Kia Optimas were purchased in the U.S. from 2009 to 2014.

Fast forward to 2015-2016 where repeat and new customers are still buying the South Korean marques and want to keep their new cars "new" and healthy. Beauty and health come from within and begin with maintaining a clean air induction system, starting with perhaps the most important part: the engine air filter.

The 2015 and 2016 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima share near-identical 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, and 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engines, and all three need the same sort of air filter service approximately every 50,000 miles (depending on driving conditions).

If performed by you or your mechanic, it is a straightforward operation that ensures free-flowing fresh air for your Hyundai or Kia's induction system. It is especially important for turbocharged engines since they use even more air, and a step-up replacement air filter like the K&N 33-5026 will enhance acceleration and are designed to boost horsepower and acceleration.

K&N's 33-5026 engine air filter fills this bill and is a direct replacement for the stock filter in both the Sonata and Optima. It is a drop-in design manufactured from a special oiled cotton gauze and mounted in a polyethlene frame. It comes with an additional plastic frame to create an even better fit in the air box. Installation requires no tools and can be accomplished in about 5 minutes.

K&N Air Filter Cleaner 99-5000

The K&N 33-5026 filter will last the life of the vehicle, especially when cleaned with products formulated specifically for it and available in the K&N 99-5000 filter care service kit.

When it is time to check or clean the filter, simply reverse the installation steps, and clean and refresh the cotton gauze using K&N's 99-5000 filter care service kit.

If you're keeping your Sonata or Optima for a while, the investment in a K&N 33-5026 washable, reusable engine air filter is the logical, economical, and ecologically sound path to engine health. With regular service, it can last the lifetime of the vehicle and is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The K&N 33-5026 replacement air filter fits the following Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata models:

2018 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L L4 Fuel Injection
2017 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L L4 Fuel Injection
2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 2.0L L4 Fuel Injection

Chad Wienen Wins Four AMA ATV MX National Championship Four Years in a Row

Chad Wienen on his K&N Filters equipped ATV

On his way to another victory, Chad Wienen gets down and dirty on his K&N Filters equipped ATV.

For Chad Wienen, 31-year-old resident of Galena, Illinois, riding ATVs started as fun as he rode with his cousins on his grandparents' farm when he was 10 years old. Later, it turned more into a hobby as he rode trails with friends, and it is now his profession as he races ATVs throughout the United States.

His first ATV was a Kawasaki. However, through the years he has owned as many as 25 ATVs including a Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Can Am, and Yamaha.

He started racing when he was 16 years old in 2001 on an impulse. "There were motocross races being run locally, so I thought I'd give it a go," said Wienen. "I won the first moto and crashed in the second, but I was hooked and have been racing ever since."

He started racing pro as a privateer on a Honda in 2006 and signed on to the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team in 2007 and finished third in his class. He suffered a shoulder injury midseason in 2008 and had to drop out of competition, but still finished in sixth place in his class. He was again forced out of competition when he sustained a back injury while practicing in the second half of the racing season in 2011.

He has raced for a number of teams including Monster Energy Kawasaki, where he was instrumental in getting its very first overall win, and Motoworks Can-Am before starting his own team, Wienen Motorsports, in 2012.

Chad Wienen negotiates through the twist and turns of another ATV racetrack.

His team includes racer Manuel Andujar, mechanic Nathan Hibbs, and truck driver Gabriel Watkins. His older brother Matt, who used to race ATVs, also serves on the crew periodically as does his father, grandparents, wife, and his wife's parents. "They all like to travel to events. It's a family-oriented sport," he said.

Wienen volunteered that his wife also does the marketing and bookkeeping for the team. She, along with some of Wienen's friends, make videos of races as well as his training sessions for publication on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. According to Wienen, he contributes one to two reports a day about the team and also promotes upcoming races on Twitter and Facebook.

Since its creation, Wienen Motorsports has won four consecutive AMA ATV national championships, has 46 consecutive podium finishes and 24 wins. So far this year, he has won two and finished on the podium five out of five races and leads his class with 28 points. "We haven't had this kind of point lead this early in a year ever," he said.

His race season starts in March at the Daytona Bike Week at the Daytona Speedway in Florida and ends in August. He races in nine states around the country including Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

K&N Engineering has been sponsoring Wienen off and on during his career and has been sponsoring the team since its inception. "They make the best parts," he claimed. "They give us a budget to work with every year and we've done some R&D work for them. We've done R&D on some racing air filters concerning size, material, and weight. We're always trying to help them get things lighter."

Going airborne is another one of Chad's talents.

His other sponsors include Walsh, 7240, SSi Decals, Maxxis, Yamaha, Fly Racing, FMF, Shoei, Acerbis, Fox, Hinson, Scott, Maxima Racing Oils, Malaska Motorsports, Renthal Roth, EVS, Vortex Ignitions, CP Carrillo, UFL Customs, Antigravity Batteries, VP Racing, RPM Dominator, Tireballs, Quad Tech, GYTR, Trek, WPC Metal Surface Treatment, TM Design Works, GPS, NGK Spark Plugs, Streamline Performance Braking, Evans, CWI, Works Connection, Alpinestars, Lonestar Racing, WebCam, Stratus, Precision Racing Products, D.I.D., FourWerx, and Eringer.

Chad's Wienen's accomplishments include:

  • 2015 AMA ATV MX National Championship
  • 2014 AMA ATV MX National Championship
  • 2013 AMA ATV MX National Championship
  • 2012 AMA ATV MX National Championship
  • 2012 Montreal Supercross Championship
  • 2012 New Zealand ATV MX Pro Championship
  • 2010 DWT World Motocross Championship

2014-2015 Subaru Impreza Air Intake System Improves Horsepower and Throttle Response

K&N 69-8008TTK air intake system for the 2014 and 2015 Subaru Impreza

K&N 69-8008TTK air intake system for the 2014 and 2015 Subaru Impreza

Even Japanese manufacturer Subaru admits that the 2014 Subaru Impreza is not the most beautiful car in the world, but it is reliable and affordable. Powered by a 2.0-liter boxer 4-cylinder engine that generates 148-horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, the car was available in two styles – sedan and hatchback. Both of which can benefit from the K&N 69-8008TTK cold air intake.

A standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional CVT offers all-wheel-drive and the manual equipped hatchback raced from 0 to 60 mph in 8-seconds while the CVT-equipped sedan achieved 60 mph in 9.4 seconds.

There are also two variants –- the WRX and the STI.

The WRX features a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine generates 265-horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque and comes with a five-speed manual transmission. The STI is powered by the same engine that produces 305-horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, which is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission.

The 2015 model has the new Subaru Eyesight Driver Assist Technology, which includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and vehicle lane departure warning. It is also equipped with a standard rear vision camera, a new infotainment system, and improved mileage of 28 mpg city and 37 mpg highway or 31 mpg combined.

The styling of the 2015 Impreza has been enhanced from the 2014 model to include a new front bumper, grille, and headlights, which makes it somewhat similar to the 2015 Subaru Legacy. Aerodynamics has been improved with a better exterior mirror and a low-profile trunk spoiler on the four-door models. In addition, the center high-mounted stoplight includes LED lights.

Liquid (hydraulic) engine mounts have also been included on models that feature the CVT transmission that helps dampen vibration. Double-wishbone rear suspension with pillow ball bushings provides a more stable ride.

The K&N 69-8008TTK air intake system is a proven replacement when it comes time to upgrade the factory air intake system. The K&N system includes a free-flow aluminum tube that assists in boosting horsepower and throttle response. The K&N system is designed to totally replace the factory system to dramatically improve the airflow so that the engine can breathe in more air than the factory air intake system provided.

The K&N 69-8008TTK system includes a black rubber topped K&N high-flow air filter and heat shield and it installs in the original air box space of the car in about 90 minutes with basic hand tools. The intake tube that is part of the system accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crankcase vent hose and is finished in a stylish black powder coating.

The air filter will last up to 100,000 miles before service is required. The K&N 99-5000 recharger kit can then be used to clean and restore the filter to its original capabilities. After cleaning the K&N air filter using the K&N filter care service kit, the air filter can be used again for another 100,000 miles.

The K&N 69-8008TTK air intake system can be used in the following vehicles:

2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0L H4
2014 Subaru Impreza 2.0L H4

You can view all the air intakes that K&N makes for the Subaru Impreza at the Air Intake Systems for the Subaru Impreza page and all the air filters that K&N makes for the Subaru Impreza at the Air Filters for the Subaru Impreza page. You can view all the K&N performance products for any vehicle by using the Search by Vehicle tool and you can find a local K&N retailer by plugging your location into the K&N Dealer Search as well.
