K&N performance air filter, number PL-2415, will replace the disposable factory air filter of 2015 and 2016 Polaris Slingshot models

The Polaris Slingshot balances along a fine line with one foot, or in this case a wheel, in another world. The Slingshot has an open car-like cockpit and controls; yet with just one wheel in the rear it is hard to categorize the Slingshot. The result is an in-the-elements, wind-in-your-face, motorcycle-like experience, with a level of superb stability and handling that can’t be found on two wheels. Whether it can be called a motorcycle, or should be called a car, is open for debate. But no matter which side of the fence one stands on, the Polaris Slingshot’s bold innovative design cannot be argued.

Whether the 2015 and 2016 Polaris Slingshot can be called a motorcycle, or should be called a car, is open for debate; however there is no debate about the superior performance offered by K&N

What can be argued is that the Polaris Slingshot, which is powered by a 2.4L General Motors derived DOHC inline-4, costs as much or more than many compact cars on the road. With the power, technology, and price tag that comes with a Polaris Slingshot, it is hard to believe that it's equipped with a low-tech disposable air filter. Luckily, K&N performance filters can remedy this problem with the K&N 2015-2016 Polaris Slingshot replacement performance air filter. Instead of paper K&N replacement air filters are designed with a high-flow cotton filtration medium pleated and sandwiched between layers of coated wire mesh. Because K&N oiled cotton air filters breathe easier than typical paper filters, a K&N air filter is able to provide superior airflow resulting in superior performance.

In addition to improved performance, the high-flow pleated design allows K&N replacement air filters to go longer than stock filters before servicing is required. Plus, the ability to wash and reuse a K&N replacement air filter will save you money on parts and maintenance over time. K&N replacement air filter, PL-2415, is precision engineered to replace the factory disposable air filter of 2015 to 2016 Polaris Slingshot 2.4L models with easy to perform installation inside the factory air filter box without any need for modifications. Dropping in a K&N replacement air filter is one of the most straight forward and easy performance upgrades that 2015-2016 Polaris Slingshot 2.4L owners can perform.

K&N designs its replacement air filters to achieve a balance of superior airflow, filtration efficiency, dirt capacity, and performance. K&N replacement air filter PL-2415 is designed to provide excellent airflow without sacrificing filtration efficiency. By following ISO 5011 testing protocols during in-house filtration testing, K&N has rated the 2015 and 2016 Polaris Slingshot performance replacement air filter at 98.48% efficient overall. Additionally, K&N replacement air filters are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty to ensure that 2015 through 2016 Polaris Slingshot 2.4L owners will receive superior airflow and superior performance for years to come.

K&N’s August 2015 calendar page features a one-off custom Victory Motorcycle designed by contemporary bike builder and motorcycle visionary, Roland Sands. The plan for this build was to take an everyday cruiser and transform it into a land based missile. The mission was to crank up the performance and handling of a factory stock Victory 106 cubic-inch V-Twin until it was able to reach 200 MPH. The Victory American V-Twin engine was rebuilt for maximum performance and turbocharger was added yielding over 214 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheel. Power isn’t the only thing necessary for breaking the 200 MPH mark. The crew at RSD made significant changes to the ergonomics and controls; including the addition of a full race fairing.

Projekt Cars, along with local car clubs Team Evince, Team Defiance, and Team Legacy treated the staff and residents of St Giles Nursing & Rehab to over 40 custom vehicles on display

Alma Molina, wife of Projekt Cars founder Carlos Molina, came up with an idea to give back to the community by doing what Projekt Cars is best at; showing off custom cars

K&N air filters sponsored Projekt Cars is based in El Paso, Texas and its membership is composed mostly of military veterans. Carlos Molina, founder of Projekt Cars, began the group in 1994 while serving in the US Army as Military Intelligence in Panama City, Panama. Projekt Cars began as a means for military members to obtain aftermarket automotive parts while serving abroad through an intranet. This virtual storefront alleviated the hassle of ordering through the Post Exchange (PX). After returning home in 2000 Molina used his passion for cars and experience with the automotive aftermarket to continue his efforts in customization and product placement at high-profile car shows including the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show held in Las Vegas, Nevada each November.

Carlos' wife, Alma, came up with an idea to give back to the community by doing what Projekt Cars is best at; showing off custom cars. In cooperation with staff members of the St Giles Nursing & Rehabilitation center in El Paso, Texas, the group committed to putting on the first St Giles Show & Shine car show. With the help of local car clubs Team Evince, Team Defiance, and Team Legacy the staff and residents of St Giles were treated to over 40 custom vehicles on display. The St Giles Show & Shine was open to the community and the event quickly became a family affair. "The purpose of the car show was of course for the entertainment and enjoyment of our residents. But secondly, it was a community awareness event. We want to welcome families and people of all ages to experience our friendly staff and our beautiful facility before they have a need for our services," said Martha Voiland, MBA, OTR, and Director of Business Development.
