The third generation Chevy Impala was the first to be equipped with the Super Sport package and the 1964 Chevy Impala SS is perhaps the most sought after among collectors

Chevrolet introduced the Super Sport (SS) package in 1961 on the full-size Chevy Impala model. In 1961 the SS badging truly represented a performance package with more powerful engine options, upgraded wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes. For 1961 the SS package was available on Impala coupes, sedans, and even station wagons. The legendary Impala SS continued until 1969 with the Impala SS427 signaling the end of Chevrolet’s full-size performance car until 1994.

The performance of early V8 powered Impala SS models can be improved with the addition of a variety of different K&N custom air cleaner assemblies designed for stock 2-barrell and 4-barrel carburetors as well as aftermarket 4-barrel carbs

Because of the large number of engine, carburetor and performance packages offered during early Impala SS production, it’s best to use the K&N vehicle search tool to find the specific stock replacement air filter needed. Of course, the performance of any of these V8 powered early Impala SS models can be improved with the addition of a variety of different K&N custom air cleaner assemblies designed for stock 2-barrell and 4-barrel carburetors as well as aftermarket 4-barrel carbs.

A K&N air intake system for 1994-1996 Chevy Impala SS 5.7L models reduces air intake restriction and on the dyno showed an estimated power gain of nearly 19 horsepower at the rear wheels

Twenty years ago Chevrolet brought back the Impala SS for just three short years. In 1994, 1995, and 1996 a new Chevy Impala SS powered by a 5.7L LT1 V8 engine derived from the Corvette could be purchased. The seventh generation Impala SS had sport tuned suspension, larger disc brakes, and dual exhaust normally only found in the Caprice 9C1 police package. The 5.7L Chevy small block engine and other mechanical upgrades had previously only been available in the B-Body platform, such as the Chevy Caprice, to law enforcement and government agencies.

Performance of 1994, 1995, and 1996 rear wheel drive Impala SS models with a 5.7L engine can be improved by replacing the restrictive disposable air filter with a high-flow K&N air filter 33-2057, or step up to a K&N air intake system. K&N’s 57-3011 air intake system for 1994-1996 Chevy Impala SS 5.7L models reduces air intake restriction and showed an estimated power gain of nearly 19 horsepower at the rear wheels in dyno tests.

The K&N performance air filter for 2006-2009 Chevy Impala SS 5.3L models is designed to improve performance and fit inside the stock air filter box without any modifications

General Motors discontinued its full-size car rear wheel drive platforms following the 1996 model year. When the Impala reemerged in 2000, it did so as a front wheel drive car only available as a sedan. Although a V8 engine was not available in the eighth generation Impala, Chevy did produce an Impala SS powered by a supercharged 3.8L V6 engine capable of producing a reasonable 240 horsepower. 2006 ushered in the ninth generation Chevy Impala, and with it came a new V8 powered Impala SS. It’s noteworthy that the 2006 Impala SS was the first V8 in a front-wheel-drive Chevrolet and the first V8 in a Chevrolet sedan since the 1996 Impala/Caprice. Rated at 303 horsepower, the ninth generation Impala SS is said to be capable of acceleration from 0-60 in 5.6 second.

When installed on an otherwise stock 2006 Chevy Impala SS 5.3L, this K&N air intake system provided an estimated 13.48 more horsepower and an estimated gain of 13.56 lb-ft of torque

2000-2005 Chevy Impala models with a 3.8-liter or 3.4-liter V6 engine can be outfitted with a high-flow K&N air filter 33-2141-1 for improved performance. Impala SS models with a 3.8L engine can also choose to install the 57-3045 K&N short ram intake for an even stronger performance boost.

5.3-liter V8 powered 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 Impala SS models can receive similar performance improvements with a high-flow 33-2334 K&N air filter, or a 63-3059 K&N short ram intake. When installed on an otherwise stock 2006 Chevy Impala SS 5.3L, this K&N air intake system provided an estimated 13.48 more horsepower and an estimated gain of 13.56 lb-ft of torque. The 33-2334 K&N air filter will also fit 2006-2011 Chevy Impala SS 3.5L and 3.9L engines.

The 2004 Pontiac GTO was first powered by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 capable of 350 horsepower, but in 2005 displacement was bumped up to 6.0L and with it came another 50 horsepower

Meanwhile in Australia the GM subsidiary known as GM Holden LTD, was producing a rear wheel drive sedan named the Commodore, and its coupe variant called the Monaro. The former GM North America Chairman fought to import a version of the Monaro following excellent Car and Driver reviews, and complaints that this particular GM car was not available in North America. After much internal debate GM officials agreed to bring the Holden Monaro to the United States and at the same time revive the legendary Pontiac GTO.

The 2004, 2005, and 2006 Pontiac GTO was first powered by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 capable of 350 horsepower. In 2005 displacement was bumped up to 6.0L and with it came another 50 horsepower. Lukewarm sales resulted in the discontinuation of the Holden Monaro based fourth generation GTO. However, in a time when the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird were absent from GM offerings, it represented the only performance coupe available in the U.S. from General Motors besides the Chevy Corvette.

2005 Pontiac GTO 6.0L owners can choose between a high-flow K&N air filter, number 33-2314, or K&N air intake systems, numbers 57-3053 and 69-7201TP

K&N offers performance upgrades for the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Pontiac GTO with either the 5.7L or 6.0L V8 engine, in the form of a high-flow K&N air filter, or a K&N short ram intake system. 2004 GTO 5.7L models can upgrade to the 33-2289 K&N air filter, or choose between two K&N air intakes. Part number 57-3044 comes with a black rotomolded air intake tube, and part number 69-7200TP uses a mirror-like aluminum air intake tube instead.

2005 Pontiac GTO 6.0L owners can install the 33-2314 K&N air filter, or choose from two K&N air intake systems. The 57-3053 and 69-7201TP systems are both engineered to fit the 2005 GTO 6.0L engine. The 57-3053 intake features a high-density polyethylene intake tube, while the 69-7201TP intake features a polished aluminum intake tube.

2006 Pontiac GTO 6.0L models are also compatible with the 33-2314 air filter, as well as the K&N 63-3053 short ram intake. The 63-3053 showed an estimated gain of 13.96 horsepower on an otherwise stock vehicle during dyno tests.

Not too discouraged by the discontinuation of the fourth generation Pontiac GTO, Pontiac was back at it again in 2008 with a rebadged Holden Commodore they called the Pontiac G8

Not too discouraged by the discontinuation of the fourth gen GTO, Pontiac was back at it again in 2008 with another rebadged Holden. This time however, Pontiac targeted the performance sedan market with a Holden Commodore based car known in North America as the Pontiac G8. The G8 was Pontiac’s first rear-wheel-drive full-size sedan since 1986. The G8 had an optional 6.0L V8, and in 2009 a GXP version of the G8 was offered with a 415 horsepower 6.2L LS3 V8 engine. Sadly, a down turn in the global economy hurt sales of the G8 and as part of the GM bail-out, came the discontinuation of the Pontiac make as a whole.

2008 and 2009 Pontiac G8 6.0L models have the option of a K&N air intake system, number 63-3071, shown to make an estimated additional 11.88 more horsepower when tested on the dyno

3.6L and 6.0L powered 2008 and 2009 Pontiac G8 and G8 GXP sedans, as well as 2009 models with a 6.2L engine, can receive improved performance with a 33-2919 K&N performance air filter.

2008 and 2009 Pontiac G8 6.0L models have the option of a 63-3071 K&N air intake system shown to make an estimated additional 11 more horsepower when tested on the dyno. This intake is also compatible with 2014, 2015, and 2016 Chevrolet SS models with a 6.2L engine.

The Holden VF Commodore, sold as the Chevrolet SS in the U.S., continues the full-size performance car legacy after the demise of the Chevy Impala SS, Pontiac G8, and Pontiac GTO

As the health of General Motors recovered, so has interest in performance rear wheel drive cars. The Chevy Camaro made a triumphant return in 2010 and for 2014 Chevrolet introduced the SS model. Slotted in size between the Chevy Malibu and Chevy Impala, the Holden VF Commodore based Chevrolet SS is the first rear-wheel drive Chevy sedan since 1996. The SS is powered by a 6.2L V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette and the 2009 Pontiac G8. The 2015 model year Chevrolet SS can now be equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission for full control of all 415 ponies, and comes standard with magnetic ride control.

The similarity between the outgoing Pontiac G8, and the new Chevrolet SS means that the same washable and reusable K&N performance air filter designed for the G8 will also fit the 2014 Chevrolet SS. As with the K&N air filter, the K&N short ram intake system first tested on a 2008 Pontiac G8 will also provide a guaranteed increase in horsepower for the 2014 Chevrolet SS. When K&N air intake 63-3071 was tested on a 2014 Chevrolet SS 6.2L the car saw an estimated increase of over 10 horsepower, and almost 9 lb-ft of torque. A K&N short ram intake system provides one of the best performance bangs for the buck, and can usually be installed using basic hand tools in around 90 minutes.

The performance car market segment is full of sports coupes, small, and even mid-size cars from U.S., European, and Japanese automobile manufacturers. While a BMW 5-Series, or Chevy Corvette offer incredible performance, they might not suit everyone’s taste. There is something about driving a full-size V8 powered car that can’t be explained, it just needs to be felt. For those enthusiasts out there that prefer a big-body sedan, K&N has your performance parts and performance upgrades covered.

The performance Short Ram Intake System for 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu 2.5L models from K&N Air Filters is designed to increase horsepower and torque for better acceleration

The latest generation Chevy Malibu sedan debuted in 2013 with an all-new global platform. The GM Epsilon II platform is used in various other Opel, Saab, Buick and Cadillac models. The standard engine for 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT models is the 2.5-liter DOHC inline-four cylinder engine capable of producing 196 horsepower and an EPA estimated 36 MPG. A four-cylinder engine capable of 196 horsepower and 36 MPG is pretty good. However, that doesn’t mean that owners of 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT models with the 2.5L engine don’t want to add a little more get up and go to their car. By simply reducing air intake restriction the 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu 2.5L can perform better and accelerate quicker. Replacing the maze of factory air intake tubes, stock air filter box, and disposable car air filters with a K&N intake system for the 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu 2.5L will result in more horsepower and torque.

K&N Short Ram Intake 69-4529TS is powder coated in a silver color to protect the aluminum tube and look good under the hood of the 2013-2016 Chevrolet Malibu 2.5L models

The K&N short ram intake system for 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT models with the 2.5L engine is precision-engineered to be a simple-to-install performance add-on. The backbone of this intake system is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube which helps to minimize restriction, allowing your engine to breathe easier. A durable silver color powder coat finish is applied to the tube, providing an attractive appearance under the hood that will look great for years to come.

An otherwise stock 2013 Chevy Malibu 2.5-liter model gained an estimated 8.24 more horsepower, and 11.13 lb-ft of torque by installing a K&N Air Filters short ram intake system

K&N equips the 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT 2.5L short ram intake with the oversized RU-4960 reusable air filter, providing a large surface to help increase airflow while providing outstanding engine protection. This washable air filter is made with K&N’s famous high-flow air filter media so it’s washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. To top it all off, a heat shield shrouds the air filter under the hood, helping to deflect engine heat away from incoming air.

All of the design features of the 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT 2.5L short ram intake system work in harmony to deliver increased performance. On the dyno, 69-4529TS produced an estimated additional 8.24 horsepower at 6321 rpm and a very useful 11.13 pound-feet of torque at a low 3979 rpm over the factory air filter box, and air intake tubes system when installed on a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu 2.5L. This is over a 5-percent gain in horsepower, and 8-percent gain in torque just from a bolt-on upgrade.

This short ram intake system is an excellent upgrade for 2013-2016 Chevy Malibu LS, 1LT, and 2LT 2.5L models. With simple to follow instructions and no need to make any other modifications to the vehicle, you’ll be on the road in approximately 90 minutes with more horsepower under your right foot.

Featured inside the official Toyota Motor Sales, USA 2014 SEMA show booth was a 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition pickup like no other Tundra built for celebrity Chef Tim Love

Prominently featured inside the official Toyota Motor Sales, USA 2014 SEMA show booth was a 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition pickup like no other on the planet. For those that don’t know, the 1794 Edition Toyota Tundra is the highest trim level Tundra available from the factory. The next question that follows is probably “Where did Toyota come up with the name 1794 Edition?” Well the answer requires a bit of a lesson in Texas history. The Toyota plant where the Tundra and Tacoma are built near San Antonio lies on a large plot of land purchased from the oldest working cattle ranch in the state of Texas. The JLC Ranch was founded by Spanish colonist Juan Ignacio de Casanova in 1794, hence name 1794 Edition.

For professional chef Tim Love, who lives by the motto “Eat, Drink, & Live Well”, an ordinary tailgating experience just wouldn’t suffice so he worked with Divine 1 Customs on this Tundra

According to celebrity Chef Tim Love’s website he is often considered an informal ambassador for Texas. Chef Tim Love is a national spokesperson for Hellmann’s Mayonnaise and Thomas’ English Muffins and serves as host of CNBC’s newest show Restaurant Startup. Chef Tim Love opened his first restaurant in the historic Stockyards district of Ford Worth, Texas in 2000. As a true Texan who loves Dallas Cowboys football and the Texas Rangers, it seems only fitting that Love would drive a truck built in and named after the history of the Lone Star State.

For a professional chef who lives by the motto “Eat, Drink, & Live Well”, an ordinary tailgating experience just wouldn’t suffice. This is exactly why Chef Tim Love worked with the build team from Divine 1 Customs out of Henderson, Nevada. Divine 1 Customs has been in the business of frame-off restoration and custom builds for the last ten years. Divine 1 Customs is a one stop shop specializing in custom fabrication, paint and body work, suspension, audio, video, and security systems. The Divine 1 Customs website states “We begin with a dream and make it a reality.”

Replacement K&N air filter, number KT-9504, is designed to fit inside the stock air filter box of 2003-2006 KTM 950 Adventure models, as well as 2006-2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro, and Supermoto models without any need for modifications or tuning

KTM, an Austrian motorcycle manufacture, began development of its first twin-cylinder engine toward the end of the 1990’s. With the engine design and R&D completed, KTM set out to design an all new motorcycle worthy of rally racing across the deserts of Africa. Fabrizio Meoni successfully piloted a prototype Factory KTM 950 Adventure to victory in the 2002 Dakar Rally. Its monumental victory in the 2002 Dakar Rally proved the KTM 950 Adventure was ready and mass production began in 2003.

The KTM 950 Adventure was succeeded by the KTM 990 Adventure, not due to a lack of performance but because the KTM 950 was still carbureted and the 990 received fuel injection

Owners of 2003-2006 KTM 950 Adventure models, as well as the later 2006-2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro, and Supermoto models can now equip their rally proven bikes with the high-flow air filter technology incorporated into a replacement K&N air filter. The new replacement K&N air filter KT-9504 is designed to fit into the stock air filter box without any need for modifications. K&N replacement air filters are made with specially woven cotton gauze. Because cotton, by nature, is more breathable than foam, K&N replacement air filters can flow more air than a typical foam air filter. More air can result in increased acceleration, improved throttle response, and more power.

Four layers of tight-weave cotton filter media allowed KT-9504 to outflow the stock air filter, hold more dirt for long service intervals, and offer 98.91% overall filtration efficiency

It would be false to assume that an increase in airflow with a K&N air filter comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. K&N engineers placed filtration efficiency and dirt retention at the top of the priority list when developing a replacement K&N air filter for 2003-2006 KTM 950 Adventure models, as well as the later 2006-2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro, and Supermoto models. K&N knows that a motorcycle, like a KTM 950 Adventure, will be used or even raced in some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. This is why K&N paid extra special attention to the design of replacement K&N air filter KT-9504.

Team Peterson uses a KTM 950 engine in their hill climb bike proving the objective at KTM for its first twin-cylinder engine to be light, compact, and versatile was successful

Perhaps the most important feature used in KT-9504 is the four layers of our special tight weave cotton gauze sandwiched between wire mesh to form extra deep 1-1/4” pleats. Four layers of 1-1/4” deep pleated cotton filter media allows KT-9504 to outflow the stock air filter, hold more dirt for long service intervals, and offer 98.91% overall filtration efficiency. The replacement K&N air filter for 2003-2006 KTM 950 Adventure models, as well as the later 2006-2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro, and Supermoto models utilizes an application specific support frame to ensure even pressure around the entire sealing surface.

K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the internationally recognized ISO 5011 protocol with ISO coarse test dust to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Calling this test dust coarse is almost preposterous, as 22% of the dust is rated at 10 microns or less. To provide perspective, a human blood cell is typically between 6 and 8 microns across. K&N has made these detailed airflow and dust retention test results available for viewing.

K&N KT-9504 can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. K&N Recharger air filter service kits include K&N air filter cleaner and a bottle of specially designed K&N air filter oil. K&N air filter oil is key to trapping dirt and providing high levels of engine protection, yet it doesn’t have that annoying sticky texture like foam air filter oil. K&N air filter cleaner and oil are also available in larger sizes for those who need to service their air filter more often due to routine use of their KTM 950 Adventure in extreme dust, sand, and silt. View the K&N Air Filter Cleaning Accessories page for cleaning instructions and available K&N air filter service products.

Part number KT-9504 for 2003-2006 KTM 950 Adventure models, as well as the later 2006-2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro, and Supermoto models is backed by a one year limited warranty. This replacement K&N air filter is designed to provide increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals without any need for modifications or tuning for the following KTM 950 motorcycles:

2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro R 950
2008 KTM 950 Supermoto R 950
2008 KTM 950 Supermoto 950
2008 KTM 950 Super Enduro R 950
2007 KTM 950 Supermoto R 950
2007 KTM 950 Supermoto 942
2007 KTM 950 Super Enduro R 950
2006 KTM 950 Supermoto 942
2006 KTM 950 Super Enduro R 942
2006 KTM 950 Adventure S 942
2006 KTM 950 Adventure 942
2005 KTM 950 Adventure S 942
2005 KTM 950 Adventure 942
2004 KTM 950 Adventure S 942
2004 KTM 950 Adventure 942
2003 KTM 950 Adventure S 942
2003 KTM 950 Adventure 942

Replacement K&N air filter KT-9504 serves as an air filter cross reference for KTM part number 60006015000.

The Blackhawk Induction Air Intake System for 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 Platinum, Lariat, & Harley Davidson models with a 6.2L V8, features a blacked out Dryflow synthetic air filter

The color black has strong emotional associations and it often implies power, elegance, and mystery. K&N gets that, which is why K&N has released a line of all black air intakes aptly named Blackhawk Induction air intake systems. K&N felt that select trucks, muscle cars, and SUVs like the 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 Platinum, Lariat, & Harley Davidson models with a 6.2L V8 were deserving of such an aggressive, stylish, intake system. A 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 Platinum, Lariat, & Harley Davidson edition with a 6.2L V8 is already an impressive pickup, however, that doesn’t mean that owners of these trucks shouldn’t own an air intake system that looks equally striking.

Owners can expect style, more power, & killer engine sound with a Blackhawk Induction system for 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 Platinum, Lariat, & Harley Davidson models with a 6.2L V8

The K&N Blackhawk Induction^™ air intake system for 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 6.2L is designed to not only imply aggressive power, but is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory air filter box and air intake tubes with a free-flowing, mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube to help minimize restriction and air intake turbulence. The mandrel bent aluminum intake tube is finished in a durable flat black powder coat for a bold look under the hood. In stark contrast to the black intake tube is a welded and engraved aluminum K&N nameplate. The K&N logo has represented performance for 45 years. This Blackhawk Induction air intake system incorporates an application specific black powder coated heat shield to help deflect engine heat away from air entering the engine.

A 2011 Ford F150 with a 6.2L V8 gained an estimated 20.41 more horsepower at 5,347 RPM and an estimated additional 17.48 lb-ft of torque at 3,372 RPM

For that true blacked out look K&N designed a line of black colored synthetic Dryflow air filters. The K&N Blackhawk Air Induction System for 2011 and 2012 Ford F150 Platinum, Lariat, & Harley Davidson models with a 6.2L V8 includes the K&N synthetic air filter RU-3102HBK, fitted to the inlet of the air intake tube. K&N Dryflow air filters provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding filtration efficiency. A K&N Blackhawk synthetic air filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Use of Synthetic Air Filter cleaner 99-0624 is recommended when it comes time to clean a Blackhawk air intake filter. This Dryflow air filter does not need to be oiled. No oil equals quicker cleaning and that means you can hit the streets or trails sooner.

A K&N Blackhawk Induction Intake System is designed for looks and performance both on-road or off-road to compliment equally impressive vehicles like this 2012 Ford F150 Harley-Davidson edition pickup with a 6.2L V8 engine

Blackhawk Induction air intake systems look bold and are designed for respectable performance gains in both horsepower and torque. On the dyno, when installed on a 2011 Ford F150 with a 6.2L V8, the 71-2584 Blackhawk Induction air intake system produced an estimated 20.41 more horsepower at 5,347 RPM and an estimated additional 17.48 lb-ft of torque at 3,372 RPM.
