The K&N 57-3078 FIPK Performance Air Intake is 50-state street legal for 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6L V6 models

The pony car competition between Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge has evolved into an epic story. Over the last 50 years, the Big 3 American automotive manufacturers have grappled with styling, safety, comfort, handling and horsepower as their weapons of war. Each team has had the lead at some point in time with no one claiming ultimate victory. Recently, the battle turned its eyes to yesteryear with retro-inspired releases and the rivalry became as hot as it was in the late 1960’s. The 5th generation Camaro made a big entrance in 2010 with sharp styling and superb performance from both its V6 and V8 powered models. Chevrolet successfully created a new generation of bowtie fans and reminded previous generations why they fell in love with the Camaro.

With 323 horsepower, the direct-injected 3.6 liter V6 in the Fifth Gen Camaro is no slouch, but there’s still room for more performance with K&N street legal air intake 57-3078

With 323 horsepower, the direct-injected 3.6 liter V6 in the Camaro is no slouch especially considering the 4th generation Camaro’s LS1 5.7 liter V8 was rated at 305 horsepower. It’s quite apparent that factory engine performance has greatly increased in recent years, but there’s still room to coax a few more ponies from your Camaro’s power plant with the K&N 50-state street legal performance air intake system, number 57-3078. The 57-3078 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6 liter V6 K&N air intake was granted an exemption order (EO) by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) making it 50-state street legal with CARB EO# D-269-49.

The 57-3078 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6 liter V6 K&N air intake is an easy-to-install performance upgrade for all 2012-2014 Chevy Camaro V6 models. Factory air intake systems are often convoluted and the factory system on the Camaro is no exception. A roto-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube replaces the factory ducting which helps to streamline airflow into the engine. The tube also makes accommodations for the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and crankcase ventilation lines so all required connections are maintained.

A K&N reusable high-flow air filter, number RC-5107, replaces the enclosed factory air box to supply a large filtration surface area and help to minimize restriction in the airflow pathway. K&N air filter RC-5107 provides excellent engine protection from harmful contaminants in the air and the filter is also washable and reusable. It can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. An application specific air filter heat shield shrouds the air filter, protecting incoming air from radiant heat under the hood. Cooler air is denser, and thus gives your engine the potential to make more power.

The 57-3077 2011-2014 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra Duramax intake includes a performance designed intake tube & oversized air filter to help streamline airflow into the turbocharger

In the 1990s and early 2000s, GM ran an advertising campaign dubbed “Like a Rock,” promoting the durability of their trucks and how owners of Chevrolet trucks were strong and independent. The campaign proved to be one of the most successful for GM and while that campaign ended in the early 2000s, the legacy of toughness has continued long after the last advertisement aired. The 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD Duramax diesel pickups epitomize the durability of GM trucks with fully-boxed frames, Allison transmissions, improved suspension, massive towing/hauling capacity and the Duramax 6.6L diesel engine with mountains of torque.

Auto manufacturers usually sacrifice airflow in order to keep under hood noise to a minimum. This is what makes aftermarket air intakes, like those from K&N filters, so effective. However, in many U.S. states diesel-powered vehicles have to meet emissions standards similar to gasoline-powered cars and trucks. Thankfully, the K&N 57-3077 performance air intake system for the Chevrolet and GMC truck models listed below has received an exemption from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), # D-269-49, making this air intake system 50-state street legal.

The 57-3077 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD Duramax diesel performance intake is an easy-to-install performance upgrade, comes with all components necessary for installation, and replaces the entire factory intake system from the turbocharger forwards. A precision-engineered, high-density polyethylene intake tube replaces the corrugated factory tube, helping to reduce turbulence and streamline airflow into the turbocharger. The K&N air intake tube comes with provisions for one or both intake sensors, depending on the factory setup.

On the dyno on a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 6.6 liter turbo diesel equipped with the 57-3077 K&N air intake produced an estimated additional 19.3 horsepower and 44.6 lb-ft of torque

A massive K&N reusable air filter, number RC-5179, is fitted to the end of the K&N air intake tube replacing the factory air box and restrictive disposable air filter. This diesel specific oversized conical K&N air filter is designed to provide a large surface area, provide high airflow and ensure exceptional engine protection. Diesel intake air filter RC-5179 has been tested in house and shown to be exceptionally efficient with an overall filtration efficiency rating of 99.49%. This air filter is also washable and reusable, capable of going up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. An application specific air filter heat shield with lid shrouds the air filter from radiant heat under the hood, and the filter is placed near the factory cold air fender well inlet to draw cooler air from outside the truck.

These big turbo diesel engines require a lot of air, and will thank you for any modifications that help to minimize restriction in the airflow pathway by rewarding you with more power. This is exactly the case with the K&N 57-3077 Duramax diesel performance air intake system. On the dyno on a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 6.6 liter turbo diesel equipped with the 57-3077 K&N air intake produced an estimated additional 19.3 horsepower at 2420 rpm and 44.6 pound-feet of torque at 2300 rpm over the factory air intake system.

“It’s incredible to see how much drifting has progressed on all fronts in the last 10 years, it’s just crazy, the things we are doing on the track these days and I am pumped to have such an awesome car that will enable us to continue pushing the envelope,” said Vaughn Gittin Jr. Consistent with Ford’s internal initiatives, the RTR team utilized modern light-weight technology by using composites and other light metal alloys to drop the car to a near 2,800lbs wet weight with a 50/50 front to rear weight distribution.

Under the hood is a 436 cubic-inch Ford Performance/Roush Yates-built engine that revs to 9000 RPM and makes over 900 horsepower via individual throttle body injection breathing through dual K&N Performance Air Filters E-3035. Vaughn shared his excitement about the car saying, “It’s crazy to think that I’m driving the equivalent of a 9-second drag racing car…sideways. Needless to say, I’m pumped to get out there and have some fun!” The competition-spec 2016 Monster Energy Nitto Tire Ford Mustang RTR drift car will make its competition debut in April at the first round of the Formula Drift Championship series in Long Beach, California.

The Lucas Oil Challenge Cup race is billed as the most exciting Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) event of the year. The annual year end race pits the Pro-2 two wheel drive trucks & drivers against the Pro-4 four wheel drive trucks and drivers. The Pro-2 drivers are given a half lap head start as their trucks are at a slight disadvantage. Every year the Pro-4 and Pro-2 carnage is intense and 2015 didn’t disappoint.

The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow (HROT) Engine Challenge was first held in 2008 and consisted of just five teams totaling 35 high school students. In less than ten years the HROT Engine Challenge has quickly accelerated into a competition of 153 teams and 504 high school students. The Engine Challenge is based around how quickly teams of students can tear down a running small block Chevrolet engine, and rebuild it again. Each team will take a complete crate engine, add fluids and run the engine. From there it will be torn down to a bare block, rebuilt to factory specs, and if everything was done correctly, run again. During the challenge a panel of five judges is watching every step to make sure that everything is torqued correctly, torqued in the proper sequence, and all adjustments are made to spec.

Loara High School in Anaheim, California had 2 teams qualify for the Hot Rodders Of Tomorrow Engine Challenge Dual Championship & Team K&N earned 3rd place at the 2015 SEMA Show

The Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge does more than simply teach high school kids how to rebuild a small block Chevy engine. The HROT Engine Challenge provides life skills, like teamwork and how to keep cool under pressure. It also serves to give students a jump start in their automotive careers. Students want to participate in the HROT Engine Challenge because it paves a path toward winning trade school scholarships, job opportunities as mechanics, or further growth into the industry as many aftermarket automotive companies, like K&N air filters, step in to sponsor teams.

K&N Filters has seen the tremendous draw of the HROT Engine Challenge program and how the competition has grown since its inception in 2008-2009. “K&N has supported the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow (HROT) program since the beginning,” stated Tim Martin, COO of K&N. “This program promotes automotive education, skills, and teamwork. It also educates high school students about vehicle customization, scholarships, and various career paths.” Loara High School in Anaheim, California had two teams qualify for the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge Dual Championship in 2015.

Team K&N has just a few practices left before competing in the HROT Engine Challenge Finals at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, December 10-12, 2015

Both teams from Loara High School performed well in 2015, but the K&N sponsored team managed to earn third place in early November at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Nevada. “The SEMA Show is the second largest trade show in the world, with over 150,000 attendees,” said Tim Martin, COO of K&N. “Loara High School performed very well, finishing 3rd. They now are qualified for the HROT finals at the Performance Racing Industry show, the largest racing technology show in the world. HROT provides outstanding opportunities to these students and K&N is proud to be involved.”

At the Engine Challenge Finals Team K&N will compete against seven other teams to determine who will be crowned the 2015 Engine Challenge Champions. “The SEMA-PRI Dual Championship format provides a platform that highlights the tremendous talent and preparation needed to excel at this level of competition,” added Zane Clark, who serves as the Director of Education for SEMA. “These students now understand that success does not come without hard work and commitment. The fact that they are invested in a path that leads to a future in our industry is both inspiring and reassuring.”

“It’s been quite a ride,” said Team K&N coach Anthony Boccignone of the HROT program. “It’s been exciting. I am amazed at what these kids can do with coaching and their own enthusiasm to be better. Their dedication is incredible. They come in for extra practice all on their own. We have official practices three days a week after school, and then when a student is having a hard time with a particular portion of their job, they’ll come in during their lunch or free time and on off days and practice.” Team K&N has just a few practices left before competing in the Engine Challenge Finals at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, December 10-12, 2015. Win or lose at the finals, the Team K&N students from Loara High School will walk away with an experience of a lifetime.
