K&N Engineering, Inc., has been the innovative
leader in air filter technology since 1963,
serving the needs of the automotive, motorcycle,
marine , industrial and military markets. Located
in Riverside California, K&N also has another
manufacturing facility in the United Kingdom.
K&N first developed air filters specifically
for the motorcycle racing market. With the success
K&N experienced in the motorcycle market,
the company decided to branch out to the automotive
motorsports market. K&N quickly grew to
be the world's most widely used performance
air filter in both the automotive and motorcycle
markets. Today, K&N equips about 80% of
all off-road racing vehicles and wins in every
major off-road event in the world, including
Pikes Peak, the Baja 500 & 1000 and the
grueling Paris to Dakar race. K&N also dominates
the world's most prestigious and technical racing
association with nine of twelve Formula One
Teams using K&N air filters.
To keep on the cutting edge of technology,
K&N has its own technical facilities that
are devoted to product development and testing.
The facilities have in-the-floor-chassis dynamometers,
to ensure that all K&N air filters are technically
designed for the highest increase in horsepower.
Air restriction testing and development has
yielded products such as the Generation II Fuel
Injection Performance Kits, which lead the industry
in horsepower gains!
