K&N has released a new performance air intake system (69-2022TS) for the 2007 through 2010 Mini Cooper with a 1.6 liter engine. By replacing your factory air intake assembly with K&N's air intake kit your engine will get more air with less restriction. This means more power and torque when you need it.

The 69-2022TS uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter and a powder coated silver intake tube designed to improve the air path from the filter to the motor. The aluminum heat shield protects the K&N washable and reusable air filter from engine heat for additional performance. The K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.

Simply remove the intake snorkel from the resonator box on your Mini Cooper then remove the complete air box assembly and replace it with the K&N air intake assembly. The 69-2022TS does not fit U.S. vehicles. It can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less. It is also backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The K&N 69-2022TS air intake system fits the following Mini Coopers:

On Saturday, Kyle LeDuc, a former Pro Lite champion, proved he could make the transition to the heavier and faster Pro 4 class. “We’re fast and we’re up front with the leaders,” said team founder Curt LeDuc. “We’re going to be a threat the rest of the season.”

At the start of the Pro 2 field, Todd LeDuc moved from fifth on the grid to second after only two laps. He took the lead briefly on lap 13 before Rob MacCachren passed him to win. They finished one-two and LeDuc moved up one spot to second in the point standings. “It was a great race,” said Todd LeDuc. “I was driving smart and a little conservative.”

In Sunday’s Pro 4 race, Rick Huseman took the lead from pole sitter Curt LeDuc at lap two. Kyle LeDuc eventually moved into second place. He took over first after Rick Huseman was shown the black flag for what race officials felt was rough driving. Two laps later, Kyle slowed down on the back stretch. His car had a broken rear driveshaft.

The race continued and Scott Douglas took the lead with Curt LeDuc in pursuit. At Turn 5 Curt LeDuc was shown the black flag. “Carl Rendezer checked up,” said Curt LeDuc. “I expected him to be gone by the time I got there and he wasn’t. I touched him, so I got a black flag and pulled off.” Curt LeDuc pulled into the pits on the final lap and finished eighth. Kyle LeDuc finished ninth. “It would have been nice to back up my win on Saturday,” he said. “What can you do? We can’t stop now."

“We use K&N air and oil filters on and off the track,” said Curt LeDuc. “We can always count on the reliability of K&N products.”

Rockstar Makita Team LeDuc is looking ahead to the next event in Chula Vista, California on September 13-14.

Chevrolet HHR 2.4L Gets 9 More HP & Flies with Unique K&N Performance Air Intake System

15 Aug 2008

K&N Air Intake Installed in 2006 Chevrolet Chevy HHR 2.4 liter engine

Dyno chart for 2006 Chevrolet Chevy HHR 2.4 liter engine

The Chevrolet HHR, which stands for Heritage High Roof has a distinctive silhouette and a design that is reminiscent of the 1949 Chevy Suburban. Not a car, and not quite an SUV, the HHR crossover vehicle combines classic Chevrolet styling with modern convenience and versatility.

Air Intake for 2006 through 2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L

K&N Performance Air Intake replaces restrictive stock configuration

A vehicle as distinctive as the HHR deserves an equally unique Performance Air Intake System. K&N Engineering, not wanting to disappoint, has done just that. The Performance Air Intake System (57-3056) for the 2006 through 2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L L4 "Is the first time K&N has used an airbox in an intake kit," said Bert Heck, K&N Performance Kit Manger. This one of a kind airbox is custom engineered and molded from the same high-density polyethylene as our Performance Air Intake tubes."Designed for maximum air flow the unique airbox keeps the engine heat away from the open element air filter." For optimum performance 57-3056 retains use of the fresh air supply hose and "provides a cooler air charge," according to Heck.

K&N tests, on our in-house dynamometer, have shown a gain of 9.33 horsepower at 5325 RPM with the K&N (57-3056) Intake System. K&N Engineers were able to achieve such horsepower gains because the original factory airbox and original filter were restrictive. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. Restriction robs your engine of power and torque when you need it. When driving a vehicle as versatile as the HHR there is no telling when that extra horsepower boost is going to come in handy. It could be needed while merging onto the highway, or driving up a steep grade. K&N's Performance Air Intake System (57-3056) offers a horsepower increase no HHR owner should live without.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter (RC-5149) and custom engineered molded airbox in place of the vehicle's restrictive stock configuration. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, provides more surface area, flows more air, and increases service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the motor is the rotationally-molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers the most flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers. It takes about 90 minutes or less to install this system with simple tools. It is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty^™ and is 50 state street legal.

The K&N 57-3056 air intake system fits the following vehicles:
2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L
2010 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L
2010 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L
2009 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L
2008 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L
2007 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L
2006 Chevrolet HHR 2.4L

K&N's Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed an impressive10.01 horsepower gain @ 4800 RPM. K&N's 77-1559KP Air Intake System gives Liberty owners the power they're craving while also increasing under-hood appeal.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. This allows your engine to pull in air with ease compared to the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more power and torque when you need it. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether driving around town, towing, or hauling five passengers plus gear on a camping trip.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter (RF-1048) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle's stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, provides more surface area, flows more air, and increases service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the motor is the polished aluminum intake tube. Our polished aluminum intake tubes offer power and a stylish appearance. It takes about 90 minutes or less to install and it is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty^™.

The K&N 77-1559KP air intake system fits the following Jeeps:
2009 JEEP LIBERTY 3.7L V6
2008 JEEP LIBERTY 3.7L V6
