Included with the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L K&N air intake system is a secondary air filter for use with 2013, 2014, or 2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L models equipped with a secondary air source

GM engineers developed the new for 2012 GM Alpha platform which made its debut in the 2013 Cadillac ATS and this same platform is being used for the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro

Prior to the debut of the 2013 Cadillac ATS, the Cadillac CTS was the GM Flagship brand's smallest vehicle offering. While GM priced the CTS near compact sized vehicles like the BMW 3-series, and Audi A4, it turns out buyers in that price range still preferred a smaller vehicle, hence the development of the Cadillac ATS. Instead of sacrificing performance by modifying a heavier platform, or basing the ATS on a front wheel drive compact platform, GM engineers developed the new for 2012 GM Alpha platform which made its debut in the 2013 Cadillac ATS. The Alpha platform has proved so favorable that it is now used in the 2014+ Cadillac CTS models as well as the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro..

Engine choices for 2013 through 2015 Cadillac ATS models include the base 2.5-liter naturally aspirated L4, a turbocharged 2.0L L4, as well as a 3.6L LFX V6 found in many GM vehicles. The base 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine offers respectable performance at 202 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. That level of performance isn't anything to get too excited about, however at least the ATS version of the LCV 2.5-liter engine produces more horsepower than the Chevy Malibu or Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon 2.5L L4 models. Part of what is holding back the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L engine's performance is the fact that factory designers favor low cost, and typically more restrictive, forms of air induction systems.

K&N is able to provide a very respectable boost in performance for 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L models by replacing the factory accordion like air intake tubing and restrictive air filter box with a performance designed intake tube, air filter heat shield, and high-flow air filter from one of the most trusted names in the industry, K&N. A roto-molded high density polyethylene K&N air intake tube designed for performance will help to smooth and straighten airflow as it enters the engine's throttle body. Connected to the end of the new K&N air intake tube is a legendary K&N high-flow air filter designed for superior airflow and superior performance.

K&N is able to provide a boost in performance for 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L models by replacing factory components with a performance designed K&N air intake system, number 63-3083

When K&N air intake 63-3083 was installed on a 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.5-liter model, dyno testing showed an estimated gain of 8.27 additional horsepower and 14.36 lb-ft of torque

An application specific air filter heat shield with a length of quality edge trim lining the upper portion shrouds the K&N high-flow reusable air filter to help deflect engine heat from warming the air entering the K&N air filter. Included with the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS 2.5L K&N air intake system is a secondary air filter for use with 2013, 2014, or 2015 Cadillac ATS models equipped with a secondary air source. Rounding out this complete bolt on performance intake package for the 2013-2015 ATS 2.5L are all the necessary hardware components, step by step installation instructions with photos, and a printed copy of the K&N dynamometer test showing what kind of power gain is possible with this K&N air intake system.

When K&N air intake 63-3083 was installed on an otherwise stock 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.5-liter model, in-house dyno testing showed an estimated gain of 8.27 additional horsepower and 14.36 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. With performance gains shown across the entire RPM range, this is an excellent boost in performance that can actually be felt every time the gas pedal is pressed. K&N air intake systems are backed by a horsepower guarantee as well as a 10-year/million mile limited warranty to give K&N buyers confidence in their purchase. Additionally, K&N stands behind its products with a consumer protection pledge to help ease concerns of a K&N product impacting a vehicle warranty.

This K&N air intake system is designed to fit, function, and provide more performance without the need for additional modifications on the following 2013, 2014, or 2015 Cadillac ATS models:

2015 CADILLAC ATS 2.5L L4 F/I - All
2014 CADILLAC ATS 2.5L L4 F/I - All

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 57-3077 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.

2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 as well as GMC Sierra 2500 HD & 3500 Duramax diesel pickups epitomize the durability of GM trucks

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 K&N 2011-2014 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra Duramax intake air filter is placed near the factory cold air fender well inlet to draw cooler air from outside the truck

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. Those are massive power gains, to the wheels, showing how positively these big diesel engines react to less restriction from a K&N performance diesel air intake.

K&N intake systems are designed to go the distance, just like the mighty Duramax diesel engine, and are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. K&N also guarantees an increase in horsepower and torque on the Duramax models listed below with the installation of K&N air intake 57-3077.

Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s 2016 Monster Energy Nitto Tire Ford Mustang RTR drift car was the 1st competition car unveiled inside the SEMA show & then brought out front to flex its muscles

K&N Sponsored Champion Drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Ford Performance revealed the 2016 competition Monster Energy Nitto Tire Ford Mustang RTR drift car at the 2015 SEMA Show

K&N air filters sponsored World Champion Drifter and Professional Funhaver, Vaughn Gittin Jr. along with Dave Pericak, global director of Ford Performance, unveiled the competition-spec 2016 Monster Energy Nitto Tire Ford Mustang RTR drift car at Ford Motor Company’s annual press conference at the 2015 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In January 2015, Vaughn unveiled his prototype competition car, which the team used throughout 2015 as a platform to meticulously develop the new competition-spec drift car for the 2016 Formula Drift season. The competition car, built on the globally-available 2016 Ford Mustang platform and prepared at the RTR special projects lab in Charlotte, North Carolina, utilizes the fully independent suspension design featured in the all-new Ford Mustang, coupled with Nitto NT05 tires ensuring Vaughn will have the traction he needs to drive in excess of 100 mph sideways on any track.

Early in 2015, Vaughn unveiled his prototype competition car, which was used throughout 2015 as a platform to develop the new competition-spec drift car for the 2016 Formula Drift season

“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.
