Who here uses K&N filters and how do you like them?

[GearsandGasoline]

This was awesome! Thanks for showing us how it's made! Definitely learned something!

[Sacsovann]

I love seeing these factory tours. Never knew AEM was made alongside K&N

[zandern]

Love them! Been using on every car and now the kids do as well. Very informative video! Thank you for doing this. Watching them do so many manual processes and keeping people employed and all the R&D, justifies the cost.

I use one on my Sportster and on my truck. Both improved the breathing of the engines over the stock restrictive air filters. Improved throttle response and a slight increase in fuel mileage. Much better than throw away paper elements.

I was just thinking the other day "Speed Academy should do a K&N shop tour." And here we are. Some people might complain that this is basically just advertising, but I think of it as the How It's Made episodes I always wanted discovery to run.

Been using K&N in all my vehicles over the past 15 years (my current one actually needs two - twin intakes/TBs) These filters are a bit pricey, but always deliver good results. On turbo charged engines you get faster spool and better throttle response with NA.

Hey guys, you are actually putting together really cool videos. Much appreciated.

[grendelum]

More factory tours please !! I _really_ liked the Stop◎Tech tour with Mr. Wu explaining all the R&D !!

[MarkCalica]

This is awesome... not made international. I'll be supporting these companies...

Good to know my K&N pannel filter has had a load of R&D to make a great product, Great video guy's.

Factory tours like this are really cool to watch, please do more :D

[newtypena]

Way cool guys!  Always wondered how those filters were made and pressed into those neat little zig zag patterns.

I knew Norm and raced for his shop as a kid in the 80s. First team jersey I ever got and I felt so awesome wearing it.

[DavidCheung]

Thanks for the very interesting video. Never knew AEM was owned by K&N. Learned something new today.

[ashtonhironaka]

Thanks for this great video! I have 5 vehicles that have k&n engine filters and cabin filters and some specture filters, good to know that they all come from the same factory.

Just put a K&N in my Royal Enfield INTERCEPTOR, very pleased with the results !

[markification]

to be honest I thought it would be way more hightech

[corbaneells]

I love K&N filters! I do rebuild engines for a living though. ;)
