When it comes to high-performance air intake systems, very few brands have as much recognition as K&N Air Filters. Working with the automotive industry for decades, K&N has been at the forefront of intake technology development and as a result have been able to work with major performance companies throughout the world in both real-life and motorsport-related movies. With a history based in motorcycle and automotive racing, K&N is the go-to air filter brand for both on and off-road racing around the world. Ever since their founding, K&N has pushed to make a name in the world of motorsports through their constant improvement in technology.
K&N Filters has been developing their products since the early 1950s and started in dirt-track motorcycle racing. What started as two men trying to develop an air filter that would be good for dealing with dust and dirt very quickly moved to racing applications. By 1969, K&N had developed their patented High-Flow Air Filter and began to sell them to others. These filters soon took over the market through proving their use over and over and by 1980 K&N had brought in their first employee. After 1992 when they released their first mass-production filter, the brand took off as the go-to company for filters in the performance world.
Here at Steeda, we have been developing, modifying, and racing Fords for over 30 years, and in that time we learned how good K&N Filters are for both daily use as well as on the track. Their use in motorsport and in average use have shown the quality of their product, and their track record for quality in performance more than meets our standards for quality. We use K&N parts on our personal vehicles on both the street and the track as a way of proving their quality.
