Friday, January 8, 2016, K&N air filters sponsored Pro4 LOORRS driver Carl Renezeder will drive his Championship winning truck through snow and ice at the Sunday River Ski Resort

Three short years ago, Red Bull, makers of the highest-selling energy drink in the world, decided to challenge the elements and set up a race course designed to take Pro-4 racing to the limits. K&N air filters sponsored racer Carl Renezeder along with eight of the best Off Road Racers took their Pro-4 trucks to Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine, to compete in the inaugural Red Bull Signature Series, Frozen Rush.

The Red Bull Frozen Rush puts short course off-road racers to the test as they compete on the snow and ice of the Sunday River Ski Resort. Other than set-up adjustments, and one-off spiked tires made for the Frozen Rush, these trucks are identical to those they race in the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing series. By invitation only, nine professional off-road truck drivers will again travel to Newry, Maine to take part in the third running of the Red Bull Frozen Rush event.

The 2016 Red Bull Frozen Rush course promises to be exciting and challenging for these fearless short course off-road racers, by combining speed, with snow and insane 150ft jumps

The 2015 Red Bull Frozen Rush course featured extreme jumps, eight-foot tall berms, various obstacles, 50 foot gaps, and bracket-style elimination racing for the trophy. The 2016 Red Bull Frozen Rush course also promises to be exciting and challenging for these fearless drivers, by combining speed with snow and insane 150ft jumps. Adding other factors such as frozen hands, a numb face, and poor visibility to the mix means these drivers, as well as their machines, will have to be on top of their game.

Friday, January 8, 2016, K&N air filters sponsored Pro4 LOORRS driver Carl Renezeder will once again drive his Championship winning truck through some of the craziest terrain possible. Carl Renezeder will attempt to conquer the snow and ice to bring the coveted Frozen Rush trophy home with him to sunny California. Renezeder is looking forward to taking his K&N filters equipped Pro 4 short course truck to the limit and challenging himself and his crew to win in the frigid hills of Maine.

K&N sponsored Bryce Menzies will return to defend his 2015 Red Bull Frozen Rush title against eight elite challengers, including the 2014 inaugural Frozen Rush winner Ricky Johnson. The 2016 Red Bull Frozen Rush drivers will practice on Wednesday, January 6th with qualifying on Thursday, January 7th. The Red Bull Frozen Rush racing action will take place Friday, January 8th and can be watched live on January 8 at 11:30 a.m. ET on Red Bull TV.

2016 Honda HR-V 1.8L models can be easily upgraded with enhanced performance and lower maintenance for several years with a reusable K&N replacement air filter, number 33-5037

In a stark contrast to the SUV marketplace of the early 2000’s, automakers are now developing smaller, lighter, and more efficient crossover utility vehicles (CUV) in an effort to improve fuel mileage. The Honda Motor Co., Ltd, a company already known for building fuel efficient vehicles, has released the 2016 Honda HR-V 1.8L as its smallest North American market CUV offering. The 2016 HR-V shares the same platform as the third-generation Honda Fit. The release of the 2016 HR-V allows the Honda Motor Co., Ltd to offer three size choices in CUV models; starting with the HR-V, the Civic-based CR-V, and finally the Accord-based Honda Pilot.

The 2016 Honda HR-V shares its 1.8L R18A1 inline-four cylinder engine with the 2006+ JDM & North American market Honda Civic. While 1.8L R18A1 SOHC VTEC engine provides reasonable performance, considering it is tuned to maximize miles per gallon, a K&N high-flow replacement air filter could help with better throttle response and quicker acceleration. A K&N high-flow replacement air filter is different from the factory or standard replacement air filter in that K&N uses cotton gauze filter media woven to exacting specifications. Cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper or sometimes foam media used in most automotive air filters.

The ability to get more air into an engine with less energy wasted on drawing in air allows an engine to work more efficiently and can result in improved performance, quicker acceleration, and better throttle response. Additionally, K&N’s in-house air filter filtration efficiency testing, following the ISO 5011 protocol, ensures that K&N replacement air filters provide increased airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Following this internationally recognized testing protocol, K&N replacement air filter 33-5037 was shown to provide a 98.70% overall filtration efficiency rating.

The high-flow nature and pleated design of a K&N replacement air filter allows them to go up to 50,000 mile before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions. This means the average owner could go about 4 years before the air filter needs attention. When it’s time, K&N air filter cleaning can be easily performed using a readily available K&N Recharger air filter service kit.

Most K&N replacement air filters are designed to install just like the factory air filter and without any need for modifications or fuel management changes.

Owners of 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal CXL Turbo or GS models wanting more performance, can bolt on a K&N air intake for an immediately noticeable increase in power

Buick is currently the oldest active American auto maker and the marque has always been intended as more upscale than Chevrolet, Pontiac, or Oldsmobile, but reasonably priced compared to the flagship Cadillac brand. As such when the Buick Regal was introduced in 1973 it was intended as an upscale mid-size car. There wasn’t much that set the Buick Regal apart from its GM counterparts until the introduction of the second generation Regal in 1978. In 1978 the Buick Regal could be equipped with a 3.8L Turbocharged V6 engine at a time when only European imports, like Mercedes, Porsche, or Saab, offered turbocharged power.

Based on the Opel Insignia Epsilon II platform the 2011, 2012, & 2013 Regal CXL Turbo came equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L direct-injected Ecotec DOHC I4 rated at 220 horsepower

The facelifted second gen Buick Regal became competitive on the 1981 NASCAR racing circuit and Richard Petty drove a Regal to victory in the 1981 Daytona 500. The Regal won a majority of the 1981 and 1982 NASCAR races and took the NASCAR manufacturers title both years. Buick capitalized on its NASCAR success and in 1982, the Regal Grand National, named for the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National Series, made its debut.

The Buick Regal Grand National, and the final year 1987 Limited Production Buick GNX "Grand National Experimental", were able to best the Chevy Camaro on the dragstrip making the Grand National an instant legend. Hoping to grab the attention of younger performance minded buyers who might otherwise opt for an upscale European car, Buick brought back the Turbo Regal in 2011 and it was also the first Buick model in 22 years to be offered with a manual transmission.

K&N Buick Regal Turbo air intake system 69-4532TTK will fit an function as if designed by the factory on 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal CXL Turbo or Buick Regal GS models

Based on the Opel Insignia Epsilon II platform the 2011, 2012, & 2013 Regal CXL Turbo came equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L direct-injected Ecotec DOHC I4 rated at 220 horsepower. The more performance oriented Buick Regal GS came with a GS-only high-output version of the Ecotec 2.0L turbo engine boasting 270 HP. Owners of 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal CXL Turbo models looking to get closer to the performance of a Regal GS, or a GS owner wanting even more performance, can bolt on a K&N performance air intake for increases in power than will be immediately noticed.

A K&N air intake system is designed to increase airflow, reduce restriction, and nearly eliminate turbulent airflow as it enters a vehicle’s throttle body. Reducing the amount of effort needed to overcome air intake tract restriction can directly translate to increased power at the wheels. K&N air intakes often produce greater increases in performance on turbocharged engines. The 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal CXL Turbo or Buick Regal GS turbocharged 2.0L direct-injected Ecotec DOHC I4 engine is no exception.

K&N Typhoon air intake 69-4532TTK demonstrated a maximum estimated increase of 15.93 horsepower and 17.12 lb-ft of torque at 4,887 RPM over the factory intake design

By replacing the restrictive 2011-2013 Buick Regal Turbo air box with a high-flow reusable K&N air filter and swapping the accordion intake ducting for a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, K&N Typhoon air intake 69-4532TTK showed exceptional performance increases on K&N’s in-house dynamometer. This air intake system demonstrated a maximum estimated increase of 15.93 horsepower and 17.12 lb-ft of torque at 4,887 RPM over the factory intake design of a 2013 Buick Regal 2.0 turbo. This Regal air intake system does more than just provide more power, as it will also improve drivability by reducing restriction; allowing the turbocharger and engine to work more efficiently.

The K&N performance air intake system for 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal CXL Turbo and 2011, 2012, or 2013 Buick Regal GS models is backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. This air intake system is designed to provide increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals by incorporating a large washable K&N air filter.
