How K&N Makes an Intake System

K&N begins by testing all kinds of stock intakes which will determine what they make.

3 Main Characteristics of an Air Filter that K&N looks to improve:

• Pressure Drop (Air Flow)
• Efficiency (What size particles does it stop)
• Capacity (Building up of dirt)

K&N uses their Dyno Test to measure performance of the entire vehicle - measuring horse power and torque. These tests are done to understand how the intake will effect the vehicle before and after the installation.

3 Main Reasons for a Performance Intake System:

• More Horse Power
• Quicker Engine Response
• More Torque

Just with an air filter, there is generally a 1-2% increase in the power output of the engine!
