Created in 1944, Kia Motors Corporation is the oldest manufacturer of motor vehicles and is the second largest automobile manufacturer in South Korea. In December 2015 Hyundai Motor Company, the largest South Korean manufacturer of automobiles, purchased 33.88% stake in Kia.

Kia manufactured the first domestic bicycle in 1951 and built Honda-licensed small motorcycles starting in 1957, Mazda-licensed trucks beginning in 1962 and cars in 1974. It opened its first automotive assembly plant in 1973 and built the small Brisa automobile until 1981, when new military dictator Chun Doo-hwan enforced industry consolidations and forced Kia to stop making passenger cars and focus on light trucks instead.

In 1986, Kia resumed building passenger cars in partnership with Ford and it also produced several Mazda models for domestic sales in South Korea as well as for export into other countries. This included the Kia Pride, which was based on the Mazda 121 and the Avella, which were sold in North America, Australia, and Asia as the Ford Festiva and Ford Aspire.

Kia Motors in America was founded in the United States in 1992 and the company began opening Kia dealerships in the U.S. The first four dealerships were in Portland, Oregon.

One of the company’s most popular models is the Kia Forte, which was first manufactured in 2008. Four gasoline engines, a diesel engine, and a liquefied petroleum gas engine, also known as propane, powered the first generation models. The second-generation (2013-present) Kia Forte is a compact that includes five gasoline engines.

K&N offers the 69-5316TS air intake system for both the Kia Forte and Forte Koup. The system includes a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube and an oversized cone shaped washable and reusable air filter that can be used for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings.

K&N also offers the 99-5000 filter care service kit that is specially formulated to clean and recharge the filter so that it can be used over and over again.

The air intake system is designed and engineered to replace the factory air filter and air intake housing. The system is engineered to dramatically reduce airflow restrictions because it smoothes and straightens the airflow. This ensures that the engine breaths in more air than the factory air intake could supply it. The result is more power and acceleration throughout the RPM range of the engine. In fact, dyno tests confirm that the intake produces an estimated horsepower gain of 7.04-horsepower at 5,382 rpm.

The tube has a silver-powder finish and accommodates the factory crank case vent hose and blow off valve and a heat shield is included that blocks hot engine air from entering the intake. This assures that the engine is fed only cool air.

K&N is so sure of the quality of the air intake it covers it with a 10-year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. This guarantees that the air filter will last for 10 years or one million miles.
