The pleated design of the VF2033 replacement cabin air filter uses a greater surface area to capture dust and dirt particles as well as spores, mold, fungus, bacteria and germs.

Honda has never been shy about engineering and design innovation, and the carmaker competes at all levels of the marketplace. They have even populated a segment for the sporty economy hybrid hatchback. Honda's Insight, Fit and CR-Z are a distinctive mix of these concepts that certainly serve a serious driver demographic but are still mindful of the environment.

The Insight has evolved from its introduction in 2000 as aero two-seater into a 2014 four-door hatch that can economically pack bigger payloads around town and on road trips. The Fit, sportiest of the three, has been praised for its handling, fuel economy and people-carrying capacity. The CR-Z, the only manual-transmission-equipped hybrid available in the United States, is a true subcompact SUV that has pleased owners with its quick steering and nimble performance.

New for 2016 is Honda's HR-V, an entry-level subcompact crossover SUV, is described as a blend of the CR-V and the Pilot. It has generous space for four average-size adults and on other days, the bike or surfboard and overnight bags.

It is constructed of a special electrostatically treated synthetic media in a sturdy, but flexible frame, and is easily installed.

They are reasonably priced, with entry-level trims and packages, and address the changing world of limited resources while trying to make green driving fun. They offer excellent fuel mileage and affordable maintenance regimens, and K&N's washable, reusable replacement cabin air filters fit right into their philosophy.

The Insight and HR-V are equipped with automatic climate control, so you barely think about how healthy the interior air is on a daily basis. The CR-V has a three-mode drive selector that adjusts throttle, steering, transmission and air-conditioning usage accordingly. However, just like in older, less sophisticated vehicles, the simple act of replacing a cabin air filter helps keep these newer, highly engineered cars' systems functioning properly.

The K&N Cabin Filter Cleaning Care Kit includes a cleaner, to apply before rinsing the filter, and a refresher that restores the electrostatic properties of the media.

The same K&N VF2033 replacement cabin air filter is designed to be used in all four Hondas and easily installed by their owners. It is constructed of a special electrostatically-treated synthetic media in a sturdy, but flexible frame. Its pleated design uses a greater surface area in order to capture dust and dirt particles along with spores, mold, fungus, bacteria and germs. Cleaning the filter is easily accomplished once a year or every 12,000 miles. Instead of filling up a landfill with dirty disposable filters, VF2033 can be sprayed with Refresher Kit cleaner, rinsed in running water then air dried. When dry, it can be sprayed with refresher to restore the electrostatic charge, and reinstalled. All of K&N's replacement cabin air filters are backed by a 10 year/100,000 mile limited warranty, should there be any failure in workmanship or materials. Its a win-win-win scenario, for the owner, for the vehicle, and for the environment.

The K&N VF2020 Cabin Air Filter will dramatically change the air quality inside a 2005-2014 Ford Mustang GT, 2005-2014 Ford Mustang Shelby, 2005-2014 Ford Mustang Bullitt, 2005-2014 Ford Mustang Boss 302 & 2005-2014 Ford Mustang V6

The original idea behind the Ford Mustang was to give young buyers a sporty car that could be customized by the factory. Prior to its arrival in 1964, a car's equipment was determined by the model line: Custom, Deluxe etc. This new pony car however, could be had with all sorts of exciting options, and it literally introduced the idea of ordering equipment a la carte. One of the available features was the "Ford Air Conditioner" for $277.20 ($2,129.36 in today's money). This rare luxury item sucked air in from the outside, forced it over a chunk of ice the size of a glacier, then blasted cold air into your face--bugs dust and all. By the time the 5th generation Ford Mustang came along in 2005, the engineers in Dearborn (the Detroit suburb where Ford is based) had replaced that antiquated HVAC system, with a modern ventilation system that used a paper filter to keep dirt, dust, and other allergens from entering the cabin. However, if you don't change said OEM cabin air filter regularly, you could be breathing in years of accumulated gunk.

For allergy sufferers, the K&N VF2020 Cabin Air Filter will make the 5th generation Ford Mustang a more pleasant place to be

Every 2005-2014 Ford Mustang GT, Shelby, V6 is fitted with a thick paper cabin air filter that lives behind an access panel on the firewall. It's designed to remove contaminants from the air before it flows into the cabin. Problem is, these filters collect the dirt on the folded paper surface, and over time, all of that caked up dirt will reduce the amount of air that can flow through the filter and can even create a musty, stale smell in your Mustang’s interior.

A K&N VF2020 cabin air filter on the other hand, uses a special synthetic filter material that's been electrostatically charged to attract and hold dirt. As air flows through the K&N cabin air filter, dirt and allergen particles become trapped in the synthetic fibers, and the electrostatic charge helps hold them in place. This design allows for increased airflow, even when the filter gets dirty. Then it can be cleaned simply about every 12-months or 12,000 miles (depending on road conditions) using the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. During allergy season, you can also use the Cleaning Spray and Refresh Spray to quickly remove dirt and allergens and restore the electrostatic properties of the filter.

The reusable K&N VF2020 Cabin Air Filter is guaranteed with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty

Because of its increased filtration efficiency, the K&N VF2020 cabin air filter traps dirt, dust, pollen, mold, spores, fungus, mildew, bacteria, germs, and other allergens. If you suffer from allergies, then you know how important it is to remove irritants from the air you breathe. Each K&N cabin air filter is also covered by the 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so you know it will continue to work for a very long time. And don't forget, K&N makes an entire line of Ford Mustang performance filtration parts that can help turn your pony car into a real thoroughbred.

The K&N 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction Air Intake is engineered for greater airflow to the Nissan and Infinity 3.7L V6 engine and features an oversized cone-shaped air filter.

Who doesn't need a few more horsepower and a twist more torque in their sports and GT cars? The much-appreciated 3.7L 330-hp V6 in 2009-2016 Nissan 370Z and 2008-2013 Infiniti G37 coupes and sedans has plenty of heart, yet a K&N Blackhawk Performance Air Intake system upgrade can give it even more.

The 3.7L V6 was the 2008 replacement power plant for the Infiniti G37 that also fit perfectly into upgrade plans for the 2009 Nissan 370Z. In 2013, the IPL model G37 cranked out 348hp and for 2015, a stock 370Z's horsepower was up to 332hp, while the Nismo model 370Z was tuned to produce 350hp. The combination of these powerful engines and some excellent design work has kept both vehicles selling well over the years. Owners generally glow in their assessment of these cars. They've posted online reviews that describe their ownership experiences as comparable to wearing the car like an amazing suit of clothes, being encouraged to safely test their skills, and being confident in managing the impressive power and speed at their command. They will surely be ready to enjoy a more energetic engine response after installing a 71-7078 K&N Performance Air Intake system.

Finished in all-black powder-coating, the system creates a coordinated, high-performance look in the engine bay.

Released just this spring, the 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction air intake system has been shown to increase power by an estimated 9.31hp, and 6.94 lb-ft of torque in dynamometer testing of a stock 2009 3.7L in a 370Z at 6500rpm. This impressive dual-intake system is ready for owners or their tuners to install in their 370Zs and G37s. It is engineered to reduce restriction in the air intake, allowing the engine to inhale a larger amount of air than it could from the stock components. More air means more power and acceleration, and a bigger grin on the driver's face.

The K&N 71-7078 Blackhawk Induction Air Intake System is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air intake system that replaces both factory air filters and air intake housings and is finished in a textured black powder-coated color scheme for an attractive look and durable finish.

The intake tube accommodates the 370Z and G37 factory mass air sensors and crankcase vent hoses. To ensure improved airflow, the system is fitted with dual oversized, washable and reusable K&N cone-shaped air filters made from black oil-free synthetic media. Depending on driving conditions, the filters can be used for up to 100,000 miles before they need to be cleaned. The entire kit also comes with K&N’s 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty.

At the heart of the system is a washable, reusable oil-free synthetic K&N air filter, which should last the lifetime of the car.

The 71-7078 air intake is relatively easy to install in about 90 minutes, using the existing factory mounting points. The tool list in the instruction sheet includes basics that everyone should have on hand: flat blade and Phillips screwdrivers; ratchet and extension; 1mm and 10mm sockets; 3mm Allen wrench, 10mm wrench and pliers.

Bradley Morris shifts gears and spots for Curt LeDuc in his #24 truck at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Arizona

Morris was in the middle of the 2014 Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series where he was 1st in points in his Pro Buggy, and 2nd in his Pro Lite, when he crashed on his mountain bike and broke his neck, almost paralyzing himself. Bradley had to have surgery to place two plates and several screws into his neck, and thankfully still had some movement but not much sense of touch. By working hard in therapy and staying focused on his future, Bradley was able to get most of his movement back to normal.

The brand new #24 Pro 4 truck of Bradley Morris is ready for a great first season in 2016

Even with everything feeling better, the vertebrates were still healing. With the healing process still in effect, the doctor told him he couldn’t race off road yet because of all the downward pressure that would be put on his spine when landing the jumps. However, the good news was that the doctor cleared him to do some road racing which allowed Bradley to sit in the driver’s seat and get his body and mind back into the racing mentality. Due to the type of injury he had, it was best to have Bradley step out of his current limited suspension race vehicles and into a different class. After a lot of thought and consideration, Bradley and the BME Motorsports Team decided it would be best for him to step up to Pro4 for the 2016 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series.

Bradley tests out his new Pro 4 and gets it ready for his official race return in 2016

Luckily, before Bradley had been hurt, he had been looking at the future and had already started testing in Curt LeDuc’s Pro 4 to see if that was a direction to go in the future. Working with Curt offered an amazing experience for Bradley, and he was able to gain great insight into his racing. Curt has raced everything from the Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, Pikes Peak, desert racing in all the different series, and short course from the beginning with the Mickey Thompson Series. This past year, Curt was inducted into the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame, and he is also one of K&N Engineering’s longest sponsored drivers, spanning over the past 30 years. Curt has since then officially retired from short course racing in 2014.

Curt LeDuc fills in for Bradley Morris in the first races of the 2016 season

Over the past few years Curt, Bradley, and the BME Motorsports Team have become good friends and have been there to support each other. “Working with Curt has been great, learning from one of the most experienced drivers is great. He has driven everything and has learned something from each one, and now he is transferring that wisdom to me” stated Bradley. With Bradley not being cleared to race until after the 2016 Lucas Oil Off Road season opener at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Arizona, Curt came out of retirement to fill in for his friend in his time of need. So now rather than Curt spotting for Bradley and teaching him some new tricks, Bradley was now going to be spotting for Curt. Curt showed up to the season opener and came out with his K&N Engineering sponsored Pro 4 to race for points, which gave Bradley a good start to his 2016 season with a top 10 and a top 5 finish.

After an intense surgery and rehab routine, Bradley is recovering well and is just about ready to get back on the track

Bradley has been testing in his new Pro 4 truck for the last 8 months and also working hard to get the truck to its full potential, as well as getting comfortable in it. He has had to take it easy going over the jumps, but is able to drive it hard in the corners like he usually does. Slowly, it has all been coming together, and Bradley has been anxiously awaiting his time to shine in his brand new K&N and Kicker Audio Pro 4. Bradley said, “ I am super excited to bring a new driving style to Pro 4. After studying film of other drivers and videos of myself testing, I think that the smoothest way around the track while keeping the momentum moving forward is the fastest. This is going to be the key to my success.” It has been a long journey for Bradley to get to where he is today, and the fans have been asking non-stop when is he coming back and what class he going to be racing in. The class he was going to race was answered last year when the Pro 4 Chassis was getting a lot of attention, but no one new when he would be back.

The time has now come upon us for Bradley to get back on the track officially and take the green flag once again. Bradley will be making his Pro 4 debut at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park for rounds 3 & 4 later this month. It has been almost two years since Bradley got injured, and to take the green flag at one of his home tracks is one of the best ways to make a come back. Watch for Bradley to put on a great show for the enormous cheering section there to watch him do what he loves.

Flinchum started the race on the second row and quickly headed to the front of the pack, leading the race for 112 laps

NASCAR K&N Pro Series East driver Chad Finchum won the Pitt Lite 125 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, his first win in 13 career starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.

Finchum, a 21-year-old driver from Knoxville, Tenn., is racing for the recently formed Martin-McClure Racing, which is partially owned by NASCAR XFINITY Series driver Eric McClure. Martin-McClure Racing is running a partial schedule in the K&N Pro Series East. The race at Bristol was the first of four scheduled starts for Finchum with the team.

“This is kind of my playground. I love the short tracks. I love the concrete tracks,” Finchum said after the race on Saturday. “Really good success today. We showed a lot of potential and I hope that can carry through. All the hard work paid off.”

Chad Flinchum celebrates his first K&N Pro Series East win and gives Martin-McClure Racing their first win at Bristol Motor Speedway

Finchum took the lead from pole winner Harrison Burton on lap 14. Finchum, who started on the outside of the second row, was out front for the remainder of the race, 112 laps. He finished 0.625 seconds ahead of runner-up Kyle Benjamin. Finchum is the fourth different winner in four K&N Pro Series East races in 2016.

“We have been finishing second a lot this year and I really wanted to get the win, especially at a place I have some experience at,” Benjamin said. “Also I wanted to get the team its first win. We haven’t won yet in the K&N Series but it will happen shortly. We keep bringing fast cars to the track. We can only run second for so long.”

Finchum has never finished higher than seventh place in a K&N Pro Series East race, a feat he accomplished three times, prior to winning at Bristol. The next race he is scheduled to race is at Iowa Speedway on July 26.

Flinchum autographs the K&N Pro Series souvenir helmet as the winner of the Bristol race

“There are plenty of races in between now and the last race on the schedule for places to be filled and places that we can go and race,” Finchum said. “As of right now, I don’t know. I’m just taking all this in. Wins are hard to come by. I’m just taking it one moment at a time right now. This is really cool and it is really fun and I hope I get to do it again many more times with these guys.”

Benjamin’s second-place finish was enough to move him into the lead in the K&N Pro Series East standings. He is three points ahead of Spencer Davis after four races in the K&N Pro Series East schedule. Kaz Grala was third, followed by Justin Haley in fourth and Dillon Bassett in fifth.

“Really good run for us,” Grala said. “Unfortunately, we had to start a little bit farther back than I would have liked. We started 11th. By the time we were up where we needed to be, we were just about out of tires and definitely out of time.”

Todd Gilliland, who was looking to set a NASCAR K&N Pro Series record with five wins in a row to start his career, was ninth and the highest-finishing rookie. Gilliland had troubles from the start and had to work his way into the top 10. He had to start at the back of the field because of unapproved adjustments his team made to the car.

The next K&N Pro Series East race is the Biscuitville 125 at Virginia International Raceway on April 30.
