The Cadillac CTS-V competes against luxury European sedans like the BMW M5

The Cadillac CTS-V is a high performance version of the standard Cadillac CTS model. The CTS-V was designed to compete against European rivals such as the BMW M5 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. Like its European counterparts the Cadillac CTS-V includes a high-performance engine, track ready suspension, upgraded brakes, as well as a more aggressive wheel and tire package. The first generation Cadillac CTS-V was introduced in 2004, but halfway during first gen production the Cadillac CTS-V's power plant was upgraded to the same 6.0L LS2 V8 found in the base 2005 Chevrolet Corvette.

Owners of 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L LS2 V8 models have a 50-state street legal air intake option from K&N air filters

The 6.0L LS2 V8 found in 2006 and 2007 Cadillac CTS-V models was rated at 400 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque from the factory. This may seem like plenty of power, however many CTS-V owners are searching for an air intake system for upgraded performance. If you’re that owner, look no further than K&N’s 57-3068 Performance Air Intake System. The 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake from K&N is designed and engineered for a guaranteed increase in horsepower. A K&N performance air intake, like the one for 2006-2007 CTS-V models, replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube to help minimize restriction, while also straightening, and increasing airflow to the engine. Less restriction and turbulence can result in improved power delivery across the engine’s RPM range.

K&N high-flow air intake systems utilize a world-famous K&N high-flow air filter for superior airflow and superior performance. The 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake system from K&N includes a conical performance air filter RC-2960 fitted to the air intake system inlet. K&N high-flow air filters are a performance upgrade designed to provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding engine protection. This filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Additionally, the K&N 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V air intake system incorporates an application specific heat shield which helps to deflect hot air in the engine compartment from entering the K&N air filter.

A 2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L gained an estimated additional 17.09 street legal horsepower

2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V owners will appreciate the 50-state street legal horsepower and torque gains that come with the installation of a K&N performance air intake system. On the dyno, when installed on a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L LS2 V8, the K&N 57-3068 Performance Air Intake System produced an estimated additional 17.09 horsepower at 5117 rpm and 17.55 pound-feet of torque. Horsepower and torque improvements like those from a K&N air intake system will be felt each time the throttle pedal is pressed.

The 57-3068 performance air intake system is an easy to install performance upgrade that can be performed using basic hand tools. By following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions the 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS-V 6.0L K&N air intake can be installed in about 90 minutes or less. This performance upgrade maintains all necessary factory connections, does not require any additional modifications to be made, and is street legal in all 50 states. K&N backs the 57-3068 performance air intake with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty so owners can rest assured that their intake system will increase performance for years to come.

EnduroCross has been described as the toughest racing on two wheels

EnduroCross is a form of motorcycle racing that blends some of the most exciting elements of motorcycle competition from Supercross, Trials, and Enduro racing. EnduroCross is typically held indoors in an arena where fans can see all the thrills and spills. An EnduroCross course incorporates multiple elements found in off-road riding such as jumps, rocks, boulders, logs, sand, mud, a water hole and anything else the course designer wants to throw at competitors. It has been described as the “toughest racing on two wheels”. If you have never been to a GEICO Motorcycle AMA EnduroCross race there are nine chances to catch the action in 2015 from Daytona Beach, Florida to Everett, Washington.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our first year of involvement with EnduroCross,” said Caitlin Clement – Series & Track Support Manager for K&N. “The racing is demanding for the riders and exciting for the fans and it has been a great way to expand the awareness of the full line of K&N Filter and Performance products.” Lance Bryson, Director of Marketing and Sales for EnduroCross, commented “K&N has an amazing product line that extends well beyond just air filters.” Lance continued “It has been great to work with K&N to help showcase the broad range of products to the EnduroCross community over the past year and we look forward to continuing that in 2015.”

2015-2016 Duramax owners can rely on K&N for an easy diesel air intake upgrade, number 63-3087, that will provide a guaranteed boost in both horsepower and torque

Chevy’s popular Silverado 1500 line of pickups, and the identical Sierra 1500 line from GMC, received a complete makeover for the 2014 model year. 2014 Silverado and Sierra 1500 ½ ton trucks were the first to receive a makeover from General Motors and GM’s Heavy Duty 2500HD and 3500 models, as well as Tahoe, Suburban, and Escalade models, received updates for the 2015 model year. The Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500 and Sierra 2500 HD/3500 have been a work in progress since the Silverado HD / Sierra HD line’s inception in 2000. Significant changes were made to the 2015 Silverado and Sierra HD models to improve interior comfort as well as improving ride quality. One important feature of the Silverado and Sierra 2500HD/3500 carried over from 2014 is the now legendary 6.6-liter Duramax Diesel V8 engine.

The combination of the HDPE air intake tube, K&N diesel air filter, and heat shield used in the 2015-2016 Duramax diesel air intake system results in massive horsepower and torque gains

2015 and 2016 Duramax 6.6L Diesel powered Silverado and Sierra trucks are rated at just less than 400 horsepower but where the Duramax shines is in torque output. This 6.6L turbo diesel Duramax engine is rated at an incredible 765 lb-ft of torque. Diesel pickup owners are obsessed with torque and cannot seem to get enough. 2015 and 2016 Duramax owners can rely on K&N for an easy diesel air intake upgrade 63-3087 that will provide a guaranteed boost in both horsepower and torque. Duramax owners can trust K&N to protect their engine with specially made K&N diesel air filters. Because a diesel engine operates under much higher levels of compression and airflow, K&N diesel air filters are designed with features that go above and beyond standard K&N air filters. K&N diesel air intake 63-3087 includes K&N diesel air filter RC-5179. K&N diesel air filter RC-5179 was tested following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust and has an overall filtration efficiency of 99.49%.

The combination of the highly engineered rotationally molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube, K&N high-flow oversized conical diesel air filter, and application specific heat shield used in the 2015-2016 Silverado 2500 HD / 3500 and Sierra 2500HD / 3500 diesel air intake system results in massive power gains for the 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel. After establishing base line horsepower numbers of a 2015 and 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.6L diesel in stock trim, a 2015-2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.6L diesel was dyno tested with K&N diesel air intake 63-3087 on K&N’s in-house dynamometer. Horsepower and torque gains were observed across the entire RPM range, with the max estimated gain of 24.09 horsepower occurring at 2,950 RPM and the estimated peak torque gain of 29.62 lb-ft taking place at 2,850 RPM.

2015 and 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD / 3500 and 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD / 3500 owners can count on K&N to provide a bolt on diesel performance upgrade without worrying about their engine. Significant testing goes into developing a K&N air intake system, both in the real world and laboratory environments, giving K&N the confidence to back its performance air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. To further put K&N users at ease K&N offers an Engine Protection Limited Warranty even going so far as to warrant that using our product will not result in a vehicle warranty denial.
