Kia Forte Owners Gain an Estimated 7 Horsepower with K&N Intake

One bonus about a sport compact vehicle is the great fuel efficiency. Most sport compact vehicles can achieve 30 plus miles per gallon but they sacrifice horsepower while doing it. The ideal sport compact vehicle would combine the two but that's hard to find. 

One way to help a sport compact vehicle get more power is with a K&N air intake system.  K&N has been producing performance air filters for over 40 years. These filters reduce restriction so your vehicle doesn't have to work as hard to bring in air.  In addition to the filter K&N air intakes are also designed to reduce air restriction. This kit is specifically designed for Kia Forte models.  It has a heat shield that helps direct cooler outside air into the engine.  Cool air and low restriction can result in added power and this air intake system has been tested and shown to increase power.   K&N testing on 2010 Kia Forte models with 2.0 liter engines has shown an estimated power gain of 7.4 horsepower at 5501 RPM.  

This air intake can be used for up to 100,000 before the air filter needs servicing, depending on driving conditions.  When it gets dirty you can simply clean it, re-oil it, and replace it for another round of use. K&N air intake systems provide outstanding protection and they come with K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty so they will most likely last longer than your Kia Forte.

This intake kit comes complete with: 

- Washable and reusable high flow K&N air filter
- Free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a black powder coated finish
- Steel heat shield
- Hardware for assembly
- Step by step installation instruction sheet
