K&N Performance Parts are Affordable, Durable and Flashy!

Adding performance parts to your vehicle can be expensive and can add up into the thousands of dollars when finished. If you are looking for affordable performance auto parts that will still boost your engine's power, then you should look towards K&N air filters and K&N air intakes. They have air intakes for all types of models including cars, trucks and SUVs. They also have air filters for the same type of vehicles which are a great upgrade in themselves. Your engine must be protected at all times to keep it running smooth. K&N performance parts filter out 99% of harmful contaminants to keep your engine clean from dirt and debris.

K&N air filters are the best air filters on the market. They are superior to your factory air filter because of the cotton media they are made from. They use a unique oil treatment that protects the cotton and traps dirt and debris, while still maintaining optimum air flow. Factory air filters become very clogged and cannot filter the air like they once did. K&N air filters also last up to 100,000 miles before cleaning, while your current filter must be replaced every 10,000-15,000 miles. Once you buy a K&N filter, you will not have to buy another air filter again. These filters also add some horsepower to the engine by supplying it with more air. Ultrarev has the lowest prices on the market for all of your K&N performance parts!

So you added the K&N air filter, and it was not enough for you. Adding the K&N air intake would be the next step to adding power because as an enthusiast, you would like more horses and throttle response when you step on the pedal. You will also notice some additional torque along with the power gains. K&N air intakes offer significant amounts of additional horsepower through improving air flow and also boost your gas mileage. K&N air intakes are available for cars, trucks, motorcycles, SUVs, muscle cars and RVs.

K&N air intakes look very appealing under the hood and also come in select colors. The factory air box is ugly and does not offer any aesthetics when you flip open the hood. When you add a K&N air intake, you receive a quality part with quality looks.

Interior Vehicle Protection - What do you use?

Whats the best way to protect your vehicle's carpet and floors? If you said floor mats, then you are correct! This is the number one way of preventing damage to your carpet from stains, dirt and other debris. Weathertech floor mats and Husky Liners offer some of the best floor protection products available today. They each have their advantages but will protect your carpet better than anything else.

Why should you protect your carpets? Well, for one, dirty carpets do not look very appealing. Your passengers may not even want to sit in the car with you. Once dirt builds up, the carpets will start to smell which is impossible to get rid of. You may be at a loss when this happens and probably want to get a new car or truck. Prevent this from happening and get a set of Weathertech floor mats or Husky Liners today!

You will also protect your vehicle's resale value when selling it or trading it in for a new car. Weathertech floor mats and Husky Liners are very affordable additions that can save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Dirty and damaged carpets will turn any potential buyer away. Just ask yourself if you would buy a car with damaged carpets. The answer is most likely no. 

Why aren't the floor mats that come with my car good enough? The ones that come with your vehicle are made from carpet and become dirty and damaged just like the carpet underneath. They also bunch up and slide around which makes it difficult to drive. The floor mats can also become lodged under the pedals while driving which is very dangerous. Weathertech floor mats and Husk Liners are made from materials that repel dirt and debris while maintaining their position due to a specially designed underside. The underside has nibs that keep the floor mats in place.

Clear plastic floor mats are no good for your vehicle because they turn yellow from dirt and crack from cold temperatures. Weathertech floor mats and Husky Liners will never crack or break from extreme heat or extreme cold and maintain their level of flexibility. Backed by their specific warranties, these floor mats will outlast your vehicle as well!

Your Automotive Brake Pads Simply Aren't Good Enough

Have you ever looked at the front wheels of your vehicle and notice all the debris on them? This is brake dust, which is common with OEM brake pads. Upgrading to EBC brake pads will reduce this dust to half and even more depending on which ones you choose. EBC Ultimax pads are direct OEM replacements for basic daily driving and give off less dust with improved braking power. If you have to smash your brake pedal to the floor for it to slow down, then chances are your brake pads need to be replaced. Upon replacement, you will not have to clean your wheels for thousands of miles. Ultrarev has every possible type of brake pad available along with the best prices!

If you are hearing some squealing from your brakes while slowing down, your brake pads also need to be replaced. There is a small piece of metal on each brake pad that acts as a wear bar. When the brake pad is worn out, the wear bar will rub on the rotor, letting you know its time to be changed! If you need a stronger pad for more spirited driving, then the EBC greenstuff brake pads are for you. Their organic compound is super soft and noiseless for a quite drive. They are also more affordable then all other replacement brake pads.

For track and race day, you need something strong that can handle high temperatures and constant braking. The OEM brake pads on your vehicle simply will not handle these types of driving situations. The pads will heat up too quick and crack. Your day will be cut short. EBC bluestuff, EBC orangestuff and EBC yellowstuff will fit your needs depending on what you are looking for. These are all rated for high performance racing conditions. They are a harder compound and have a wide heat range to handle both hot and cold temperatures, but perform at their peak during hot conditions.

Research is key when upgrading your brake pads. If you choose the wrong ones, they can be the underlying cause of why your brakes are failing. Soft pads should not be used on high performance vehicles, just like hard pads should not be used on vehicles that are driven under normal circumstances. Aftermarket pads are a common upgrade these days, as most people want to avoid the car dealerships.
