K&N offers a full line of replacement air filters for thousands of applications

K&N is known for as the leader of washable, reusable automotive air filters. But aside from OEM replacement air filters K&N produces air filters for other vehicles and machines. From motorcycles to boats and just about everything in between, K&N has a product for it. Even if it is a custom application, like an LS3 shoehorned into a Ford Model T, K&N makes universal air filters to protect your pride and joy. Use the links below to take you directly to the respective pages. If you still can’t find what you are looking for, visit the K&N website for a full listing of everything K&N makes from cold air intakes to oil filters and much more!

Automotive Air Filters

This is what K&N is most known for. These air filters are made to drop right into the stock air box and are designed to increase horsepower and throttle response. They last up to 50,000 miles between cleaning, depending on driving conditions and carry a 10-year/Million Mie Limited Warranty so you know you this will most likely be the last filter you buy for your vehicle.

Motorcycle/ATV Air Filters

Whether you ride a Kawasaki or a Harley, a KTM or an Indian, K&N makes replacement washable and reusable air filters for your motorcycle or ATV. Designed to provide an increase in horsepower and acceleration, these filters are made of a pleated cotton media that offers a large filtration area and low restriction. Made to fit into the OEM air box, each filter has an application specific sealing bead for a perfect fit.

Universal and Clamp-On Air Filters

Did you take that old Mustang and shove a Coyote into it? Or maybe you built a C10 around an LS1. Whatever the case may be, you are going to need to protect your investment. One of the best ways to filter out the incoming air is with a K&N universal air filter. These filters come in a variety of sizes. There are hundreds of sizes available for almost any application. These filters come with a one-year warranty and are designed to increase horsepower.

Cabin Air Filters

Protecting your engine is important, but protecting your family is more important. K&N offers a line of washable and reusable cabin air filters to protect your loved ones from the harmful mold, mildew, pollen, fungus, and germs that could potentially enter your cabin. Made from a synthetic material, the K&N cabin air filters are electrostatically charged to capture and hold onto particles before you breathe them in. These filters come pre-treated and ready to install and are guaranteed for 10-years or 100,000 miles.

Industrial/Small Engine Air Filters

K&N washable cabin air filter for automotive applications

To protect your family from harmful contaminants use a K&N washable cabin air filter

Some of the hardest working engines reside inside outdoor power equipment and small engine applications. We all remember to add oil and gas to our lawnmowers, but when was the last time you thought about the air filter inside your John Deere mower? These filters have to work overtime to keep out all of the clippings, dust, soot, and other airborne contaminants. K&N offers a full line of direct replacement air filters for industrial and small engine applications. Whether it is a Tecumseh-equipped APU or Briggs and Stratton-equipped mower, check the small engine and industrial air filter page on the K&N website.

Heavy Duty Diesel Air Filters

K&N’s line of heavy duty diesel air filters is designed for class 4-8 trucks and diesel equipment, motorhomes and RVs, busses and emergency vehicles, refrigeration equipment, generators, and more. What better way to save money than by not having to purchase a new air filter a couple times a year. With a K&N replacement filter, just take it out every 300,000 miles (depending on driving conditions), spray it with K&N degreaser and spray it off. The dirt and grime comes right off. No need to oil these filters as they are comprised of non-woven synthetic media between two layers of aluminum screen.

Cleaning Kits

If you already own a K&N air filter and need to clean it, we have what you are looking for. There are three basic types of cleaning and product that K&N offers. The standard air filter cleaner and oil will clean and refresh most standard replacement automotive air filters. The synthetic air filter cleaner is for use on K&N hybrid filters, Blackhawk air filters, and other synthetic air filters. There is also a heavy duty synthetic air filter cleaner for K&N’s heavy duty diesel air filters. Lastly, there is the K&N cabin air filter cleaner and refresher for K&N cabin air filters. Check the K&N cleaning kit page for all of your air filter cleaning and oiling needs.

K&N universal oil-free air filter

The RU-3106HBK is a universal air filter for custom applications that is oil-free

Crankcase Vent Filters

Note: Crankcase vent filters are legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used, registered, or licensed for use upon a highway.

Rats Custom’s Softail Kicks Brass at the Washington DC IMS

Rats Customs Twinkie Softail side view

The K&N Performer award winning Softail from the DC IMS sits low and long

The Washington DC stop of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show (IMS) was one to remember for Ross Latimer of Rats Customs. All Latimer did was walk away with two first-place awards at the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show. We already told you about his Hot Wheels custom that won the Modified Harley® category. Now we'll focus on his 2000 Harley-Davidson Softail named Twinkie that won the K&N Performer Award.

So let’s get down to brass tacks. Actually, let’s get down to brass motivation, since that was the creative spark behind this fantastic build. The malleable alloy is near and dear to Latimer’s heart.

Latimer's custom Harley sits on the IMS red carpet

“The silver Softail is more of an old school classic ride, built to scratch the itch that I developed with brass,” Latimer said. “I love brass. It's awesome to work with. It's beautiful when done. And it looks great at any age.”

Those brass touches abound on the Softail custom, and Latimer carried the theme off without making it seem overdone. To accentuate the brass on the fuel tank, oil tank, trim, and various fasteners and brackets, Latimer decided on a beautiful gunmetal paintjob. Getting the paint just right is a hallmark of a Rats Customs build, and the flat grey finish on the Softail is a huge departure from the flashy coating on his Hot Wheels build.

Brass accents are the defining elements of the Rats Customs Twinkie Softail

Making the brass Softail move is a V-twin running 117 inch S&S jugs and Wiseco pistons. Those big cylinders are topped by heads and cams built by Zippers Performance Products. All of that performance hardware rests on stock Harley cases.

Bringing Twinkie back down to speed is the job of the Galfer brakes featuring wave rotors. Those rotors are bolted to spoked wheels with rims finished in understated black.

Latimer crafted the very cool shortie exhaust out of stainless steel and tipped the pipes with, you guessed it, brass. The stainless intake velocity stack is also a Rats Custom creation (although K&N hopes the owner will run one of our filters out in the real world!)

Twinkie rumbles through an unrestricted exhaust tipped in brass

When asked about the touches that he integrated into Twinkie that are his personal favorites, Latimer said, “I'd have to say the coolest feature is the porthole in the gas tank, or the key and switches in the oil tank or frame.”

Latimer is only in his mid-20s but he is no rookie in the custom bike world. The Twinkie Softail is one of over a half-dozen customs he has crafted.

As far as the future, Latimer said, “I plan on using the support that K&N has provided to bring a flat tracker build I'm currently working on up to the next level.” Ross, we are more than glad to help!

The World's Fastest Woman on Four Wheels Took a Break to Hang with K&N

1st Place Finisher Every Man Race at King of the Hammers 2016

2016 King of the Hammers Every (Wo)Man Race with the 1st Place finisher, the Queen, Jessi Combs

She's been called the "Queen of the Hammers," she holds the title of "World's Fastest Woman on Four Wheels," and she seriously is the "real deal." She's an Ultra4 National Champion and a Baja 1000 podium finisher. We're talking about none other than our friend and serious bad ass, Jessi Combs.

You may remember her from MythBusters, her Overhaulin' days with Chip Foose, or from All Girls Garage. Or maybe you've followed her as she sets out on her series The List: 1001 Things to Do in a Car before you Die!

Jessi Combs with her Savvy Ultra4 OffRoad Vehicle

Breaking down barriers in off-road, Jessi Combs the Queen of the Hammers in her savvy Ultra4

We hung out with Jessi one afternoon at her shop, while she put the final touches on the REAL DEAL land speed-inspired 2016 BMW R nine T that was featured in the BMW booth at the 2016 SEMA show, the 50th Anniversary of the world renowned event. A long time brand ambassador of K&N filters and performance products, we are thrilled she chose to have K&N as part of this build.

Jessi poking her head out of the cockpit of the North American Eagle

It's obvious that Jessi Combs loves what she does

We were pretty stoked that we got to see her in action. Mind you most people in the midst of the SEMA thrash are pretty much running themselves ragged in the final hours before the Big Show. That wasn't the case with Jessi though. Sure she has a lot on her plate. Between Jessi co-hosting the SEMA Banquet with Dennis Pittsenbarger, and her laundry list of meet and greets, signings, and appearances at her many sponsor's booths. It's impressive to see how organized and settled this incredible female is and how she handles stress and what she is capable of!

But let's go back just a couple steps. On October 9, 2013, Jessi drove the North American Eagle (NAE) Supersonic Speed Challenger in the Alvord Desert, claiming the women's land speed record with an official run of 392.954 mph and a top speed of 440.709 mph. And just a few weeks ago she would return to the Alvord Desert in Oregon breaking her own record and driving 477.59 as part of a complex, ambitious goal to become the fastest woman on Earth.

Jessi talking strategy with North American Eagle owner

Behind every great driver is a great team and Jessi's team is no exception

During her speed run, Jessi encountered a pretty hairy setback when the car drifted slightly off course. When moving that fast, movements appear subtle with few reference points to judge where you are. As soon as Jessi realized where she was and that she couldn’t correct back to the proper course, she quickly aborted the mission. But by the end of the run, the Eagle had come dangerously close to the edge of the track, due to malfunctions with braking and steering systems.

Calm and collected throughout the ordeal, Combs still remains determined to continue her goal of breaking the women’s record of 512 miles per hour, set in 1976. Jessi also remains the fastest woman on four wheels, a record she broke in 2013. When we asked Jessi when she would get back in the seat of the North American Eagle, she assured us just as soon as the car is ready and safe. She's determined to accomplish that goal she has set for herself.

Jessi Combs head shot from speed run at Alvord Desert

Brains, beauty, and serious bad ass, Jessi Combs has it all

It's no surprise that Jessi is driven, just look at what this very impressive young lady has accomplished. Jessi remembers when she was just about eight years old asking her mother what the third pedal was next to the brake in the family car. She says she's always been interested in cars and how stuff worked. Growing up in farming country in South Dakota she had a proper driver's license by the time she was fourteen years old. Her first ride was her Plymouth Laser that got her to the dirt track or Sturgis Dragstrip for a little fun. She learned early on that off-road was definitely her jam and she was good at it. She loved the speed and was the real deal behind the wheel. However, she admits to having one or two run-ins with the law as a result of her lead foot.

It seemed car guys didn't take her too seriously so she decided to change that. Originally wanting to become an architect, she soon discovered the extensive time and significant cost involved and chose to follow a path that combined her love of design with her passion for speed. Enter Wyo-Tech. Combs earned her degree in custom automotive fabrication and has inspired millions showcasing her skills. Her shop reflects her design sensibilities, from the artwork on the walls to the uber chill vibe the exposed brick walls create. Her surroundings can't help but inspire some amazing builds like the 2016 BMW R nine T.

Picture of Jessi Combs on the SEMA Sketch Wall

Jessi's likeness was added to the SEMA sketch wall in the Las Vegas Convention Center

Looking back on Jessi's long list of accomplishments really gets one thinking. For instance, who is she inspired by? Not surprising, Jessi is inspired by the likes of Amelia Earhart and not just for her prowess in the cockpit behind a prop. Jessi is inspired by what she did on the ground as well. As a member of the National Women's Party, the 40-year-old Earhart was a legend in her own time, breaking social norms of female roles in aviation. Although she was not the first female to be issued a pilot's license, she was the first female to successfully fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean. We can definitely see some similarities between Amelia and Jessi. Both women have set records, and done what many have said couldn't be done!

Exposed brick wall with James Dean artwork

Jessi's design sensibilities abound throughout the shop. Who doesn't love James Dean?

Jessi has big plans for the future. She met Theresa Contreras, her "REAL DEAL" business partner, in 2012 during the SEMA Businesswomen's Network Ford Mustang all female build. During the project the two realized that they shared not only a passion for details but a very palpable drive to inspire. Through REAL DEAL Jessi has an opportunity to share this lifestyle with others on a global level. The REAL DEAL mission? To motivate others in a way that breeds self-confidence, breaks stereotypes, encourages healthy decisions, offers hands-on training and inspires community involvement. We asked Jessi where she thought REAL DEAL would be in a couple short years and she told us she would love to have workshops that teach adolescent girls some of the skills she has learned throughout the years. "To work with them one on one at the shop would be my goal," said Jessi.

REAL DEAL signage propped on cabinets in shop

This incredible sign created for the REAL DEAL twosome sits prominently in the shop.

Jessi assures us she has no intention of stopping now. And boy this beauty is busy! She handles all of her own social media, arranges her own travel, schedules her meetings and product launches, and that is just the back office stuff. Then there are the events like the 4th Annual Babes Ride Out, where she taught close to 100 women the art of welding. Seriously this girl does it all. She is kind, compassionate, and grateful. She understands the importance of giving back. More importantly - she is super silly!

When we asked if there was anyone, dead or alive, who she would most like to spend time with, her response? Her mother. She said she would love to just sit down to dinner and be with her mom. When talking about where she sees herself in five years, her blue eyes sparkle as she admits, "I really want to change the world!" You can bet if anyone can do it, we believe Jessi Combs is that person. She inspires women of all ages to move out of their comfort zone and continues to leave her mark on the automotive world not just for herself, but for all women, everywhere.

K&N is a Major Resource for Washable and Reusable Air Filters

K&N 33-3059 replacement air filter.

The panel-shaped K&N 33-3059 replacement air filter

No doubt you are aware that K&N Engineering is one of the largest suppliers of air filters for automobiles. However, you may not be aware that K&N supplies air filters for all types of applications. Our inventory covers Personal Automobiles, ATVs and Motorcycles, Off-Road Vehicles, Remote Control Vehicles, Marine Vehicles, Snowmobiles, Go Karts, Industrial and Small Engine Applications, Heavy Duty Diesel Equipment, Trucks, Racing Vehicles, Custom Built Vehicles, Motorhomes and Recreational Vehicles, Buses, Fire Engines, and Transport Vehicles, Refrigeration Equipment, Generators, Big Rigs

Constructed to be washable and reusable, the filters are offered with different media to assure the best performance for the particular application.

Many K&N replacement air filters feature a multilayered cotton gauze media that has been treated with a special grade of oil that makes the strands of the cotton very sticky. The filter is designed to encourage high airflow with superior filtration. As more and more contaminants are captured, the airflow continues to pass through the cotton gauze with little if any restriction. Tests confirm that the overall filtration efficiency of the filter is in the range of 96% to 99%. Each K&N air filter is designed to boost horsepower, acceleration, and torque and lasts for at least 50,000 miles between cleanings.

Meanwhile, conventional paper air filters have a very thick surface area and are tightly compressed and dense so that they can meet the minimum filtration standards. This design restricts airflow. As the paper filter becomes more and more clogged, the air pressure inside drops while the pressure outside remains the same. This results in an excessively high pressure differential causing the dirt particles to push through the paper medium. Airflow decreases even more making it necessary to replace the filter.

On the other hand, conventional foam air filters lack appropriate surface area, which limits dirt holding ability. Dirt builds up on the outside of the foam filter and blocks openings. This results in higher vacuum pressure that distorts the cells and draws more dirt deeper into the filter. Airflow is restricted even more as the cells become clogged.

K&N also offers air filters with a synthetic non-woven material that are ideal for a wide range of applications including small industrial engines, compressors, generators, utility lawn, garden units and mowers as well as for heavy duty applications including large turbo diesel engines, class 6-8 over-the-road trucks, agricultural and earth moving equipment and diesel motor homes.

The commercial grade air filters include a new hybrid medium that combines the best characteristics of cotton and synthetic non-woven technologies. No oil is used in these filters. Instead, they feature a 3-D lofted filter surface that reduces diesel air filter restrictions. The result is more power and better engine efficiency.

99-0638 Heavy-Duty Air Filter Cleaner.

K&N air filters for heavy duty commercial grade applications feature extra strength construction and are reinforced to last for up to 300,000 miles. These hybrid filters feature a thick lofted non-woven synthetic media that is co-pleated between two layers of powdercoated aluminum screen wire. The media is sandwiched between either molded urethane or steel plates and surrounded by a powdercoated steel cage to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures that can occur in large turbo diesel applications.

K&N offers air filter cleaners and filter cleaning accessories for its lines of oiled cotton and synthetic air filters. The cleaners are specially formulated to cleanse and recharge the filters so that they can be reused over and over again.

K&N backs the oiled cotton replacement air filters with a 10-year/Million Mile Limited Warranty that guarantees that the filter will last for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without needing replacement.

In addition, K&N offers cabin air filters that are designed to clean and refresh the passenger compartment of most cars. The filter is electrostatically charged to capture and hold all sorts of smelly and unhealthy contaminants including mold, mildew, pollen, spores, fungus, and germs.

The cabin air filters are designed to replace the factory cabin air filter from the cabin air filter box that is located under the hood, near the windshield, underneath the dashboard, or behind the glove box.

As in the case of the air filters, K&N also offers a cleaning kit that is formulated to recharge and cleanse the cabin air filter after every 12 months or 12,000 miles of driving, depending on driving conditions, so that it can be used over and over again for the life of the car.

The filters are designed to fit the factory air box and can be installed using common hand tools in just a few minutes.

Air filters can be found by part number or by vehicle manufacturer.
