What is the purpose of the air filter?

The primary function of an air filter is to deliver both airflow and superior dirt protection. Air filters is to provide minimum restriction allowing airflow into an engine. In the vast majority of cases increased airflow will increase engine performance measured by horsepower and throttle response (torque).



K & N Performance High Flow Air Filter

More air entering the engine increases the efficiency of the combustion process creating more horsepower and torque. Horsepower is a measure of the engine's maximum power while torque measures how quickly you can accelerate.

The K&N High Flow Air Filter is unique in all the world. It uses premium quality oiled cotton gauze sandwiched between layers of wire screen. This special design permits very high flow rates, minimum restriction, maximum filtration, and very long filter life. When dirty, simply wash, re-oil and install.to increase engine performance in both horsepower and throttle response by reducing air flow restriction.

The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhausts are exclusive Special Edition HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust systems . Also referred to as the HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power catback exhaust, these exclusive versions of the HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust consist of a carbon-fiber wrapped muffler shell, titanium tip, and polished SUS304 stainless steel piping for a stylish and aggressive look. Each HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust looks as good as it performs. Inspired by GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system with features found on racing exhaust systems. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust series incorporates a race inspired offset muffler and piping design, eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. This less restrictive design allows the HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust to have greater exhaust flow and less back-flow pressure, enhancing higher-PRM power gains. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system can be used for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated

Subaru's Car Intake System Design

Subaru's Car Intake System Design The following is an opinion on why different year model Subaru's react differently to modifications to their intake system . Primarily we're focusing on the late model Subarus which used either an air-flow system (up to 1999) or the speed-density system (2000+) in the North American market. Before we discuss the technical details of the Subaru Intake System, lets first get familiar with the two ways Subaru has used recently to measure air flow. The first method discussed is MAF Sensors which were used on all late models until the 2000 model year. From 2000-on Subaru has begun using a speed-density system which primarily relies on a MAP sensor. MAF Sensors Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the weight of the air going into the engine. To do this, Subaru uses a cylinder shaped sensor mounted securely to the stock air cleaner box behind the passenger side headlight assem
