K&N ENGINEERING: Recent new products from the Riverside, California based cotton gauze performance air filter specialist include simple bolt-on cast aluminum Aircharger intake system kits for all 2008-2016 Touring models and 2001-2015 Dynas and Softails. Said to add up to 6hp, both kits include a cast aluminum intake tube and come in a textured black finish with a raised, brushed aluminum K&N logo. They feature an oversized, oiled cotton, clamp-on air filter that feeds air directly into a wide air tube with an integrated velocity stack. An integrated breather system ensures these kits are a direct replacement for the stock intake. Dyno tests have shown an estimated 6 hp and 6.5 lb-ft of torque gain on a 2016 H-D Street Glide, and an estimated 5 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque on a 2016 Harley Switchback; www.knfilters.com
