Around the world many people know that the products manufactured by K&N Engineering are worthy of their recommendation. The company has a long history, dating back to the early 1960’s. The founders, Norm McDonald and Ken Johnson sold motorcycles and aftermarket parts, and were supporters of a prominent K&N factory race team.
From their experience in the field of racing, they realized that air filter systems could perform so much better, and set about inventing the reusable high flow cotton air filter. Ever since, the company has expanded, producing more and more innovative products that are ideal for any motorist who loves a high performance from his vehicle’s engine.
This article is an introduction to the K&N 63-3070 AirCharger Performance Air Intake System which produces a phenomenal engine sound and improved throttle response.
Horsepower Gains
With this K&N product you can expect to gain an estimated horsepower of 10.25 HP at 5342 RPM. This fantastic improvement will surely be noticeable on any vehicle model.
The new sound of the vehicle in particular is a marvelous feature of the product. When you put pressure on the accelerator you will hear as well as feel the engine’s increased power and you will be thrilled with the low growl of determination it produces when asked to travel steep inclines.
