K&N®
For more than 50 years, K&N® has been an industry leader in the field of automotive filtration and technology-providing global consumers with products that can improve performance, protect and extend service life in thousands of automotive applications. In the early 1960s, two motorcycle racers Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald (K&N) came up with a groundbreaking new idea for air filters that could work in dusty, dirty off-road environments.
After trying many types of filter media, they found that the oiled cotton design not only allows the filter to capture contaminants very effectively, but also can be cleaned and reused, thus giving birth to the original K&N® high Flow Air Filter™. Fifty years later, K&N® is still innovating industry-leading filtration technology and providing excellent protection for top fuel drag chain vehicles and commuter vehicles worldwide.
All K&N products undergo rigorous testing to ensure that they meet strict quality standards. They support their products and provide the widest guarantee in the aftermarket.
