Increased my MPG's by 2!
I installed the K&N 57-3050 on my 5.3 liter 2006 GMC Sierra 2WD Crew Cab. I do a lot of highway driving between GA, AL, and TN, and wanted to increase my MPG. Before I installed the K&N, I was getting around 20-20.5 MPG's highway driving at a constant speed of 70-75 MPH.Since installing the K&N, I am now getting anywhere from 22-23 MPG's! Now this is also driving a speed of 71-75 MPH. I have noticed that by keeping my engine @ 1900 RPM or less, my gas millage dramatically improves with my Sierra.Now don't get me wrong, but this filter can also cause more gas consumption if you have a heavy foot. If you like to accellerate quick and get up to highway speed fast, this filter will do that for ya. But the downside is that it will cause more gas consumption. Wide Open Throttle = More Air = More GAS!Overall I am extremely pleaseed with the K&N 57-3050 AirFilter, and I would recommend it to anyone who does a lot of driving with there truck or SUV and who...

My K&N air intake rocks!
This was too easy.I got a great price and the air intake kit works like a charm on my 06 Silverado.I have already hauled a bed and trailer full of almost 2 cord of wood 150 miles and still got 13 mpg. I definitely get 2-4 more mpg with the filter.No complaints, highly recommend this to anyone.

Very Nice FPK
I read the instructions before starting. It took about 10 mins to remove the factory airbox. About another 15 to install the FPK. It all went together very smoothly. I do not hear any noise under the hood like the instructions said might be present. At idle and low RPM you really dont notice any difference in performance, but when passing and at higher speed you do notice it. Nice little boost in performance. The truck onboard computer is reporting about 3 tenths of a mile better. The truck doesnt hit the highway for long periods of time and I imagine in time the gas mile will get even better. And as a side note, it looks really nice when installed under the hood. If someone were thinking of ordering this and was not really sure, I would say "go for it".

Product Description
The kit replaces your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. K&N intake systems are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your vehicle's engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The filters on these kits are washable, reusable and easy to install with tools commonly available. Top to learn more
Designed to provide increased horsepower, the K&N 57-3050 Second Generation Fuel Injection Performance Kit is a quick solution for vehicle owners who are looking for an increase in reliable power. Street legal, installable in 90 minutes or less and built around K&N's High-Flow technology, which utilizes an special oversized and washable cotton gauze air filter and special cold air intake, nonmetallic tubes, the 57-3050 drives a massive amount of air into an engine, which translates into power affordable on virtually any budget.
How does the K&N 57-3050 increase horsepower? By eliminating airflow obstruction in your engine. Restriction of air flow between an air filter and an engine robs even the most powerful engine of horsepower. K&N air intake kits virtually eliminate air path restriction by replacing the standard air filter and the entire air path to the engine. The aerodynamically engineered conduit that makes up the 57-3050 drives a massive amount of air into an engine, which translates into power. This conduit begins with an oversized conical high-flow air filter. This larger filter can fit into the engine compartment using factory holes and mounting points because the K&N 57-3050 replaces your stock intake tube, and air box. This provides more airflow at lower restriction than a standard filter, limited by the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures and holds more dirt, increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is also isolated from high engine temperature by a heat shield designed to lower the temperature of the air entering the engine, which increases horsepower. The filter is attaches to a rotationally molded tube made from nonmetallic interlaced high density polyethylene (HDPE). This allows for precision shaping of the tube to reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine. This is why some K&N tubes have unique shapes or indentations that are specifically engineered for each engine configuration. Finally, the tube is connected to the engine with adapters made from high strength materials such as silicon and reinforced nylon and ensures long life. Put all this together and you have the best high-flow intake system available today. Street Legal Many K&N intake systems are street legal in all 50 states and include a California Air Resource Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) number that ensures the kit has been tested to comply with emissions standards. EO numbers apply to the kit as well as the year, make and model it is being installed on. Systems with no EO number are street legal in most states but may not be used on emissions controlled vehicles in the state of California or other states adopting California emission standards. Consult K&N's website to search by part to see which cold air intakes are CARB exempt for which vehicles. Key Features:
