K&N air intake for 2012 to 2017 Toyota Camry 3.5L

The Toyota Camry has been in production since 1982 and is still one of the more popular vehicles today. Toyota came out with the 2012 model (XV50) in September 2011, replacing the XV40 series as the seventh generation of Camry. This model has a 2.5 liter, and 3.5 liter engine option. While the 2.5 liter is great for around town, some drivers may need a bit more power to get where they're going, choosing the 3.5 liter V6 model.

K&N has designed a High-Flow Performance Air Intake System to accommodate the V6 motor. The 69-8618TS is a custom designed air intake system allowing better vehicle performance and providing excellent filtration to protect your engine. It is built to dramatically decrease intake restriction by smoothing and straightening air flow. This allows the vehicle's engine to breathe easier than the OEM air box assembly resulting in more power and torque. The 69-8618TS fits 2012-2017 Toyota Camry models with a 3.5 liter V6 engine...

The cone-shaped air filter (RU-4990), included with the air intake, is washable and reusable. No more disposable air filter to replace over and over. Performance air filter RU-4990 can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions.

This air intake system is also equipped with a heat shield to help deflect heat from the engine. It also comes with a low restriction aluminum tube with a silver powder coated finish custom designed for the Toyota Camry. Installation can be completed with the use of common hand tools in less than 90 minutes. K&N 69-8618TS includes step-by-step directions with detailed photos for easy installation .

K&N tested the 69-8618TS Air Intake on a 2012 Toyota Camry with a 3.5L engine and saw an estimated increase of 7 horsepower at 5914 RPM and 6.5 lbft of torque at 4,698 RPM.

The BMW M135i is the successor to the 1-series M coupe, which is out of production. The M135i is part of a line of Beemers called M Performance Automobiles, which are positioned as a midway point between full-bore M cars and regular production BMWs.

This permits the M135i to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 5.1 seconds and to reach a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited). The BMW M135i's unique body styling has been specially designed to handle the impressive power delivered by its powerful engine. The M135i is in fact the most powerful derivative of the second-generation 1-series.

Whether you are looking to own the M135i, 2013 ActiveHybrid 3 or any of the other five select BMW models listed below, your Beemer can see performance gains by simply upgrading to a K&N 33-2997 reusable air filter.

K&N has continued to work toward staying at the forefront of racing technology by providing more innovative and adaptable parts. It is out of this dedication that K&N is proud to release the 100-8558 and 100-8559 air box assemblies. Both of these assemblies come with the large washable and reusable 100-8564 air filter, the solid carbon fiber 100-8590 base, 6 spring clips, a set of 4 air horn seals and air horn seal attachment screws.

If an increase in airflow is what you are looking for, this high flow air box is your ticket. The cotton air filter medium used in K&N air filters improves air flow with its exclusive woven design. Not to mention, these assemblies are lightweight and extremely durable and a must for any racer currently using a traditional multi-Siamese fuel injection stack setup.

For the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, Street brought two converted beauties to show off the designs and styling of Projxauto. "The two cars featured at the SEMA show were owned by Walters Ekland Chevrolet from Pennsylvania. We have built many Z/TA conversions for them."

"The real inspiration for these modern day Trans Am's, mainly came from the fact that GM dropped the ball, and we feel there is still a strong desire to drive a modern day TA," said Street. "The obvious main modification, is the Z/TA Trans Am body package including a functional shaker scoop that feeds additional cold air into a K&N cold air intake system, followed by aftermarket wheels and a drop spring kit." When asked what the public thought about the conversion packages, Street mentioned that the vehicles are truly unique.

This kit will truly make your car stand out from the rest!" When asked why K&N was used in their modified Z/TA packages Street answered, "… we chose to [go] with K&N because we felt that they were the better engineered system on the aftermarket." " We actually decided t go with K&N during our product design and engineering stages. After evaluating a few other systems, we chose K&N, and then designed our functional shaker scoop system around the K&N system," said Street.
