Aircharger Performance Kits by K&N

K&N's Aircharger Off-Road & Racing Performance Kits, or simply Airchargers for short, are designed to be less restrictive compared to the stock air management system. Low restriction air filters provide quicker throttle response and more power throughout the RPM range. It is important to note that if the stock air cleaner box has emission control devices and/or hoses attached, these parts MAY NOT be re-installed on a new Aircharger assembly. Each Aircharger has a specially designed Filtercharger element consisting of woven cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of wire mesh screen. The screen and fabric combination creates a grid-like effect which actually straightens and smoothes the incoming air as it passes through the filter. This enhances the airflow to your engine because air moving in a straight column moves faster than turbulent air. Aircharger Performance Kits replace the air box and the biggest restriction on your engine. Aircharger Kits vary in design because each kit is engineered to fit a particular make, model and year of vehicle. Airchargers use a 360 degree Filtercharger element which provides increased surface area to promote air flow. Port injected engines are designed with a conical shaped filter while centralized fuel injection systems are equipped with an open element. This allows the vehicle to use all the air the engine can physically use. Unlike restricted factory intake plenums and filters, Airchargers drastically reduce restrictions while smoothing and straightening the air flow. Airchargers allow your engine to ingest a greater volume of air which ensures usable power and torque throughout it's entire rpm range. If your engine is turbocharged or supercharged, the power gains can be phenomenal because these engines are very sensitive to intake air flow. Aircharger Kits are NOT legal for sale or use on pollution controlled vehicles. They do NOT meet California Air Resource Board (C.A.R.B.) standards for vehicle emissions. These kits replace the original air filter box and may eliminate or defeat some emission controls. Check your local laws for restrictions. These Aircharger filters carry K&N's Off-Road/Racing limited warranty which covers your system for one year.
