K&N – Cold Air Intake: Adds Up To 9 Horsepower, With Million Mile Air Filter (Part No.57-2539)

Cold Air Intake: Adds Up To 9 Horsepower, With Million Mile Air Filter

from

$349.99
The K&N 57-2539 FIPK air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine’s RPM range. The 57-2539 air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. Air is directed through an aerodynamically engineered intake tube into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor, idle bypass hose and crank case vent hose. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, a ratchet set and several wrenches.

Product Features:
  • GUARANTEED INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER: Dyno-tested with up to 50% more airflow than restrictive factory box air filter and intake tube
  • BETTER TOWING: Improves acceleration and uphill performance when towing by improving throttle response.
  • IMPROVED ENGINE SOUND: Hear the power under the hood.
  • WORLD CLASS PROTECTION: Pushing the limits of engine protection by protecting your engine from harmful contaminants
  • EASY MAINTENANCE: No filter cleaning required for up to 100,000 miles
  • EASY TO INSTALL: Bolt-on power in less than an hour with basic hand tools. K&N air intake systems are one of the easiest ways to guarantee an increase in horsepower.
  • DYNO TESTED: Dyno-tested for a guaranteed increase in horsepower and acceleration with no ECU tune required
  • HIGH QUALITY: Made in America.

from

$259.99
The improved spark energy and voltage of MSD’s blaster 2 coils, combined with reliability, have made them a favorite for performance enthusiasts. Whether firing a restored BOSS 429 or a Saturday night circle tracker, the blaster 2 has always gotten the job done. MSD is excited to offer blaster coils for late model Ford engines with coil-on-plug technology. The new blaster COPs are designed as a direct bolt-in replacement coil for many SOHC Modular Motors. The housing and installation are the same as the factory, but that’s where the similarity ends. Inside the MSD red housing, engineers spec’d better material to assemble the primary and secondary windings. There is also patented dual magnet technology to step up the output. Together, this combines a coil that produces higher voltage and spark energy. The coil-on-plug design of the blaster COPs puts the spark energy right out of the coil and across the plug gap to improve the combustion and output of the engine. The blaster 2 COPs are available individually or as a complete set of eight.

Product Features:
  • Fits 1999-2004 4.6L/5.4L SOHC 2V
  • Improved Spark Energy And Voltage Output
  • Patented Winding Design and Materials
  • Direct Bolt-In to Factory Connectors
