One of the reasons for such a high increase in horsepower is the large free-flowing K&N chrome top air filter (RF-1048). The factory air box is restricted in size and restrictive in air flow especially at higher RPMs. K&N designed a larger intake tube that fits nicely under the front stabilizer.

The tube is oval because the throttle body is also oval. This design means the cross section is larger. The estimated 53.7 horsepower gain is also aided by the radius adaptor's design as it smoothly takes the 6 inch flange of the air filter and mates it with the air intake tube.

The heat shield isolates the filter element from the heat of the engine which results in an immediate flow of cooler air for additional power. It takes less than 90 minutes to install this K&N air intake system. This intake will eliminate much of the air path restriction and let your engine breathe freely. K&N air intake systems come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N was able to get the additional horsepower by replacing the restrictive original factory air box with an aerodynamic designed air intake. The design of the intake's heat shield directs cooler outside air toward the K&N chrome top air filter (RF-1032). This specially designed heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the engine heat. The air intake fits into the engine compartment using factory holes and mounting points.

The high flow technology invented by K&N and made in the USA provides the best balance of airflow and filtration. The RF-1032 is also washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The 57-3061 can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. Take a look at our 57-3061 installation video to see all the steps involved.
