Every car comes equipped with an air filter to help keep contaminants out of the engine. The typical air filter is made out of paper, because it is cheap and disposable, but while they do a good job in filtering out dirt, paper air filters also restrict air flow. This means that your engine loses power and fuel economy drops all in the name of saving you a few dollars up front.

Many car owners have discovered a better filtration system, one involving air filters made from cotton gauze material. Leading manufacturers including K and N and AEM Intake have developed reusable air filters that improve air flow with the result being more power and better engine performance.

Performance k&n filters make use of oiled layers of cotton gauze material that is designed to allow for dirt particles to get stuck in the filter while maintaining a strong air flow. This results in long intervals between cleanings, as much as 50,000 miles, during which time the typical paper air filter has already been replaced 3 or 4 times.

Air intake systems are another way for you to get more power out of your engine. Working with your engine by feeding it colder and denser air, a quality K&N FIPK intake system will help boost engine performance resulting in more horsepower and improved fuel efficiency. Made by K&N, the company who brings to you performance air filters, an FIPK system is available on hundreds of applications, more than any other brand.

Thank you for visiting the ECONOMECHANIX WEB SITE. Please feel free to comment. We also serve the surrounding communities of Alachua, High Springs, Hawthorne, and Newberry! Gainesville has been my home since 1974, and I've loved Gvl and the Gators since I came here in the fall of 1974 to attend the University of Florida. I loved it so much I stayed and opened my car repair business. Originally it was out of the back of a 1963 Chevrolet wagon, but in 1977 a fellow mechanic and I opened an auto repair shop with actual walls, etc. I stayed in the same location for 26 years, and recently moved my operation to property I bought 15 miles east of Gainesville. I am doing most all the repairs myself now, having reduced my overhead from $1500 per month to practically nothing. I do work by appointment only. I mostly work only on my established customers cars, but I will occasionally take on new clients. E-mail me and I will either make arrangements to look at your car, or I will recommend you to someone who will.
