The 63-1573 AirCharger air intake system from K&N replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on 2012–2016 Jeep Wranglers (3.6L V6), dramatically increasing usable power and acceleration throughout the engine’s RPM range.

This kit includes a uniquely designed snorkel system that brings in outside air from the top of the windshield, allowing you to tackle extreme off-road conditions. Fresh air is directed through the low-restriction snorkel tubing and into a replacement K&N roto-molded polyethylene air box that contains a chrome-topped K&N high-flow air filter. The aerodynamic tube smooths and straightens the air flow before it goes directly into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain.

The oversized, cone-shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed (depending on driving conditions). The intake installs in 90 minutes or less using your vehicle’s existing factory mounting points.

Note: Not legal for use or sale in California. Right front fender will need to be removed to install the snorkel (kit can be used without the snorkel); no cutting required.

Features

  • Designed for 2012+ Jeep Wranglers.
  • Dyno-estimated horsepower gain: 6.58 @5,200 rpm (results will vary).
  • Dyno-estimated torque gain: 9.38 ft.-lb. (results will vary).

  • Kit can be used without the snorkel.
  • Enclosed air box separates fresh air from hot engine compartment.
  • Removable air box lid provides easy service access to washable/reusable air filter.
  • Included heat shield protects snorkel system.
  • Backed by K&N’s 10-year/Million Mile Limited Warranty.

W.O.W. Award Recognizes Consistent, Demonstrated Excellence

September 2, 2016 (JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) — The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, has named Marketing and Merchandising Specialist Donnie Hurt as the organization’s 2016 Employee of the Year and recipient of the W.O.W. Award. Hurt, who transitioned to AAM’s marketing team last year from PerformanceParts.com, has quickly become an integral part of AAM’s expanded suite of services, notably as email marketing lead and architect of the AAM Sign Shop™, which provides deeply discounted signage and display elements to program retailers and installers.

Given annually to the AAM Group™ employee who best exemplifies the qualities of commitment, creativity, initiative, and resourcefulness, the W.O.W. Award is named after Wilbur and Orville Wright, who embodied many of those same traits in their dogged pursuit to realize the world’s first successful controlled airplane flight.

“We are very pleased to have given this well-deserved honor to Donnie,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “He has embraced every responsibility he’s been given and not just done them well, but also meaningfully contributed to making the resources and services in which he is involved better. He well represents AAM’s team spirit, drive for excellence, and commitment to meeting the needs of our stakeholders. In the past year Donnie’s contributions have made AAM a better organization.”

ARIES: StyleGuard Floor Liners

John Arnaud Leave a comment

StyleGuard floor liners from ARIES distinguish themselves in a crowded category thanks to three key features: a refined look, a three-layer design, and a custom fit.

First, unlike the industrial, utilitarian look of other liners, StyleGuard liners boast a fine-textured surface that creates a unique, refined appearance. StyleGuard doesn’t force you to sacrifice good looks for effective floor protection.

Second, from the driver’s seat to the cargo area, StyleGuard provides the ultimate in interior protection thanks to a unique triple-layer design: durable, wear-resistant, and waterproof thermoplastic rubber; semi-rigid, shock-resistant, thermostatic, and sound-insulating XPE foam; and countless patented OmniGrip fibers that grip all types of carpet better than a few contact points or common spikes.

Third, thanks to its custom-contoured fit, StyleGuard floor liners clean up quickly and easily. The raised edges contain all liquids and debris, and the semi-rigid construction allows you to lift out the liner without losing any of the mess.

ARIES’s StyleGuard floor liners are available for a variety of makes and models, from passenger cars and crossovers to full-size SUVs and pickup trucks.

Features

  • Laser measured for perfect, vehicle-specific contouring.
  • Flexible, breathable rubber will not become brittle over time.
  • Raised edges contain all liquids and debris.
  • Available in three different colors (black, gray, and beige).
  • Limited lifetime warranty.
