K&N Universal Air Filter RU-5162
K&N Engineering designs and manufactures a wide variety of universal air filters to fit just about any application. Our filters are constructed with ultra-strong molded pliable rubber flanges which allow for secure attachment.

K&N designed a new round tapered universal (cone) filter, RU-5162. It can be used as a universal crankcase breather vent filter, as an air filter for many gas motor RC cars or for any other application that needs an air filter with the dimesions listed below. K&N Filters provide excellent filtration to keep the internals free from debris. The RU-5162 comes with a 1/2 oz. pillow pack of K&N air filter oil.

This universal cone filter is also a replacement breather filter for K&N’s YA-6601-T ATV Power Lid. This Power Lid fits the 2001 to 2005 Yamaha YFM660R Rapter 660.

The RU-5162 has a 1 1/3" base outside diameter and a 1" top outside diameter. It is 1 1/8" in height and has a flange with an inside diameter of 1/4" and outside diameter of 5/8".

K&N Air Filters are washable and reusable. K&N filter cleaner is available to restore air flow efficiency so your air filter performs like new. It works to dissolve the dirt build up and old filter oil, and can be washed away with water.

The K&N cold air intake design provides excellent air filtration and lower restriction than the factory air box system resulting in an immediate power gain. A round tapered chrome top high flow air filter (RC-4180) allows free flowing air into the intake tube.

The heat shield assembly attaches to the intake tube. It isolates the K&N air filter from the hotter temperatures around the engine as it allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh cooler air.

The crank case vent attaches to the rotationally molded intake tube. The 57-6015 can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

*Applications are as follows:

2008 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5L V6
2007 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5L V6
2006 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5L V6
2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5L V6

Speedking Russ Wicks Sets Newest World Stock Car Speed Record at Bonneville

The Speedking, aka Russ Wicks is the only living person to hold world speed records over 200 MPH on land and water. In 2007, at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Wicks went 244.9 mph in a NASCAR-spec Dodge Charger for the new World Stock Car Speed Record.

The Charger was built to NASCAR Super Speedway specifications to compete in the Talladega high-speed oval. Normally this type of car approaches the 190 mph mark in competition, it was trimmed to maximize straight-line speed.

“We took the drive train and suspensions off the vehicle to make it more symmetrical,” said Wicks. “We also tested the vehicle in the Chrysler wind tunnel at Michigan.” The vehicle at the Salts was painted to resemble NASCAR Champion Bobby Isaac’s Grand National Dodge Charger Daytona. Issac established the original record “flying mile” Stock Car speed record of 216.949 mph in 1971.

“Pushing the limits of speed and technology is my life,” said Wicks. “I’m totally thrilled with our new World Speed Record at the Salt Flats. We made it into the Guinness Book of Records that day.”

Wicks also broke the 220- plus mph in Indy Car, NASCAR, NHRA dragster and Unlimited Hydroplane. His record braking resume includes the WSR for prop-boats at 205 mph and the WSR for fastest stock car at 244 mph.

“The environment at Bonneville is far from friendly,” said Wicks. “It’s dusty, salty and there was a lot of silt. Our engine performance was fantastic with K&N oil filters. The wrench off nut made everything easy for our team. There is no such thing as a proper garage at the Salt Flats and every little bit helps. The K&N air filters give us the biggest amount of air flow for optimal performance. K&N helps us protect the World Speed Record.”

With more than 25 years of racing experience, Wicks became a fully sponsored professional by the time he was 15-years-old. He began racing Motocross at 10-years-old and has plans to shatter more World Records in 2008.
