K&N Air Intake Systems and Filters
Parley's Diesel carries a full line of K&N Intake Systems. K&N believes the primary function of an air intake system and filter is to deliver both high airflow and superior dirt protection. K&N designs their air filters to provide minimum restriction allowing high airflow into an engine. In the vast majority of cases increased airflow will increase engine performance measured by horsepower and throttle response (torque). Diesel fuel economy is also improved.

The dirt particles collected on the surface of a K&N air or oil filter have little effect on air flow during much of its service life because there are no small holes to clog on the air filter. Particles are stopped by layers of crisscrossed cotton fibers and held in suspension by the oil. As the filter begins to collect debris, an additional form of filter action begins to take place because air must first pass through the dirt particles trapped on the surface of the oil filter. That means a K&N air filter continues to exhibit high air flow throughout the life of the air or oil filter while it is accumulating dirt.
