The Spectre HPR7440 Air Filter is guaranteed to perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles.

U.S. automakers liked it because they could garner a profit of $10,000 per unit at a time when they were losing money on compact vehicles. Consumers liked the large cabins, the ride height, and the apparent safety because they were massive compared to smaller vehicles that shared the road. It was an ideal vehicle for driving the kids to their after-school activities because they featured three-rows of seats.

SUVs were constructed over a truck chassis, which permitted more cargo space in the cabin than a conventional automobile. Many of these vehicles also featured four-wheel drive so they were ideal for off-roading.

This classification of car was so popular that the major automakers including Chrysler, which now owns Jeep; General Motors, Nissan and others introduced several SUV models in different sizes including mini, compact, mid-size, full-size, and extended length.

For example, Nissan introduced a compact SUV called the Xterra to North America in the 2000 model year, which shared the same platform as the Nissan Frontier pickup truck; a full-size SUV called the Armada in 2003, which used the same platform as the Nissan Titan pickup truck; and the Pathfinder in 1985, a two-door SUV. Nissan’s luxury division, Infiniti introduced the QX56, a full-size luxury SUV, in 2004.

American Motors and later Chrysler offered variations of the Jeep including the Cherokee, the Grand Cherokee in 1993 and the Jeep Wrangler, a compact to mid-size SUV in 1986.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency considered SUVs as light trucks. So rules relating to tailpipe emissions on them were less stringent. However, starting in 2004, the EPA began to recognize that the SUV should have the same standards of tailpipe emissions as cars.

That ruling along with another oil embargo made SUVs less attractive and sales started to drop.

Spectre is aware of the need to make air filters for this classification of vehicle and offers the Spectre HPR7440 Air Filter for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Nissan Pathfinder, Xterra, and Armada as well as pickup trucks like the Nissan Titan and Frontier.

The replacement filters are reusable and offer high airflow that helps to enhance horsepower and rate of acceleration. They last up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required depending on driving conditions.

You can use K&N 99-5050 filter cleaning kit after the 50,000 miles and then re-place the filter into the factory filter housing until the vehicle rolls up another 50,000 miles when the kit can be used again. This assures that the K&N HPR7440 Spectre air filter can be used over and over and over again saving you from making repeated purchases of air filters.

The filter is so effective catching dirt and contaminants because it features four to six layers of cotton gauze media treated with a specially formulated grade of filter oil that is sandwiched between two aluminum wire screens. The oil provides the tackiness necessary for catching impurities to ensure that your engine is protected.

The K&N HPR7440 Spectre Air Filter can be used on the following vehicles:

Not just a gifted driver, Pozzi is quite the photographer too.

She was in her late teens when she took her first shop class and discovered then that she absolutely loved cars. She never dreamed that this one class would expose her to so many different opportunities in the automotive industry. Nor did she have any idea that this passion would evolve into a life-long career.

Mary, announcing for an SCCA event, learns through volunteering wherever she can!

When you have a chance to sit down and talk to Mary about her work, her eyes get a little glint of excitement as she shares with you about her day to day real life and the investigations she heads involving vehicles, theft and recovery, damage and determining the cause of accidents. She’s an automotive CSI of sorts and her detective work always yields a truthful outcome. She is meticulous and detailed in her approach. Perhaps that’s why she is so good at what she does. Whether at work or on the track, Mary works hard at being her best.

Pozzi’s first real racer, her 2.8L, 300HP Datsun 240Z. She won 2 National Solo Titles in this car!

Before long she ditched the Capri for a stock Datsun 240Z that quickly moved up the levels of prep and was eventually taken off the street completely. This car helped Pozzi win two SCCA National Solo titles for her in A Prepared Ladies class (1980-81). In 1982 the 240Z was sidelined due to some engine issues when a friend offered her to race his 1965 Ford Mustang that had been cloned as a Shelby GT350. She ran this car in C Prepared and took home two more victories in 1982 and 1983. As luck would have it another friend offered his “real-deal” AC Cobra for A Prepared, which Mary describes as not for the faint of heart, or arms! This car had no power steering and came equipped with Goodyear slicks. Almost impossible for her to drive, she came up with a plan to increase the front tire pressures almost double the rears. In doing so she would be right on point with her male counterparts and their lap times! Another SCCA Championship in A Prepared Ladies was her result!

Giving back is the name of the game according to Pozzi.

Mary left autocrossing completely in late 1990 and changed direction to focus on equestrian competitions. A slow learner (wink wink), Mary discovered over the course of fifteen years, that in order to make a million dollars with horses, she would need to have TWO million. So in 2005 she sold the horses and would once again return to cars.

Mary’s an avid mountain biker. Here with friends in the rolling hills of Salinas, California.

It would seem that Mary Pozzi has all the right stuff when it comes to racing. From talent to the car setup, this is one driver that knows what it takes and what she needs to be competitive. She is the real deal. She preps her own car and handles the maintenance as well. Whether Mary needs help installing a clutch, or just needs a pre-race pep talk, husband, David, also an accomplished racer, is typically on hand to help with the big stuff or even the smallest details.

At the autocross start line during the 2011 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational

That change of pace she longed for came in 2009 when she heard about Good Guys, Bill Howell’s Run to the Coast events and of course the big show, The OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational. For a short time, her Camaro was perfect for these events and she did well. She met some wonderful people during these years and have seen these events go from small time and casual, to extreme complete with paparazzi and TV Crews. Having cut her teeth in Pro Solo, she was thrilled when SCCA introduced the CAM, Classic American Muscle, class as her 1973 Camaro was exactly what the rule book wanted. At Nationals in 2015 she became the fourth woman to become Champion in an Open Class winning CAM-T (no powder puff class here). It came down to one final run with her closest competitor, Al Unser Jr. who was on course simultaneously and learned of her winning time before she did. She recalls how amazing she felt getting back to grid, worried if she’d hit a cone, but the chips stacked in her favor affording her yet another nationals title!

Whether horses or horsepower, bikes or carts, her winning attitude keeps her ahead of the crowd!

At the final qualifying installment of Optima's Search for the Ultimate Street Car challenge, Mary Pozzi once again, made the final cut and won yet another coveted invite to OUSCI, proving like so many times before that there really is "Something About Mary!"

Spectre 9053 cold air intake system for the 2011-2016 Jeep Patriot and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass

Like all gas-powered vehicles, the Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot drag themselves down the road by injecting air and fuel into the cylinders, then igniting the mixture with a spark plug. The air is a key component, because without it the fuel couldn't burn. To make the fuel burn hotter and release more energy/horsepower, you've got to reduce the temperature of the air going into the cylinders. Cold air has more oxygen molecules than warm air, so adding a Spectre 9053 cold air intake system will enable the Jeep 2.0L & Jeep 2.4L to produce more horsepower and torque.

Spectre 9053 cold air intake system installed on Jeep Compass 2.4L

Unlike many cold air systems, the Spectre 9053 doesn't require any underhood modifications or ECU reprogramming. The entire system can be installed in about 90 minutes, and it even has fittings for the factory sensors.

Features & Benefits of the Spectre 9053 Cold Air Intake System

The Spectre 9053 cold air intake will increase horsepower and torque on the Jeep 2.0L and Jeep 2.4L

• Developed exclusively for the 2011-2016 Jeep Patriot and 2011-2016 Jeep Compass
• Increases horsepower & torque

The coveted Hotchkis Cup in the chase for its fourth year and it was anybody’s guess just who would be taking home the golden chalice. The weather man called for rain but the racing gods won out and crew and driver’s all enjoyed an incredible Southern California weekend.

Driver's ready and raring to go at the NMCA West Hotchkis Cup Autocross start line.

Spectre Driver, Greg Thurmond ties with Chad Ryker for Classic Muscle Class Championship

The NMCA West Hotchkis Cup Autocross hosts four 2-day events throughout the season in which a driver can participate and earn points. To be considered for the points championship, the driver must participate in the 2-day event. If a driver simply wants to come out to drive for the day, that is encouraged. However, that driver will not be eligible for points toward the cup championship for his or her day of participation. Driver’s lap times are averaged for each day then the drivers are awarded points based upon their ranking among the other participants. So you needn’t have the fastest lap time in the field to earn the most points. You need to be the most consistent.

Spectre Driver, Brandy Phillips, Hotchkis Cup Truck Class Champion with the Racing Byrds

Spectre Performance Driver, Brandy Phillips, in her C10R was the winner in the Truck Class for the weekend and Truck Class Champion! Brandy’s battle was hard fought and took until the last lap of the weekend to secure her as the victor in her class and championship.

Other notable points champions include Ryan Thacker for the Sports Car Class and Marc Lewis for the Compact Class.

NMCA West Hotchkis Cup Autocross has rapidly grown since its inception. But then again so has the pro-touring movement. With expansive courses that allow each participant the ability to push their cars to the limit, it’s no wonder autocross has become so popular. The Racing Byrds have perfected the recipe for a great weekend pastime that has pulled folks away from yard work and their television. Congratulations to all the winners and we look forward to seeing them out at the NMCA West events in 2017, defending their titles!
