ok question i was wondering if the k&n drop in filter helps at all?does anyone have one?? i saw that on a evo which has the same amount of hp to the wheels as us ms6s it add like 18 hp with the drop in replacement..but i mean its only lik 50 bucks anyone got anything??? thanks

i seriously doubt he got 18hp off the k&n filter itself.....seriously doubt


they are nice, you can tell a lil difference, but not a whole lot....i've had one in my last 2 cars(till i went with a CAI with the p5) for mine it was half as thick as an oem paper filter, should(in theory) allow more air through easier.

plus once ya buy all ya need is the recharge kits to clean them, and a kit is like 10 bucks and would last me about a year...i would clean mine every 5k when i would change my own oil....so it would save you money in not having to buy another airfilter ever again, if you change your own oil

honestly, i dont ever feel that much of a diff.... but i do buy them for the longevity.... not having to worry about buying another filter for the life of the car... after a few years it more than pays for itself

Don't for for HP gains with a K&N drop in.

 

[subspeed6]

Yeah in very simple terms. No.

ok wasnt sure ive heard dif things but i wasnt sure

You probably wont get 18hp but you will pick up a few.

But if the stock air box is as restrictive as the MS3 or even the regular 6(not gutted) then it would be a good idea to look at an intake, but if you want to stay pretty stock then the K&Ns arent bad.

ok so how about a cobb sri??? has anyone had cel with them? i just dont want a cel to come on

I'm not sure intake mods like the K&N have that much effect on turbo charged engines. If the turbo was having trouble keeping boost at high rpms then it might be a factor, but it's a known fact that the MS3 and MS6 electronically cut boost above 5K so a better mod would be an EMS.

...but for $50, if it makes you sleep better, then whatever. Personally I'd rather buy a $10 drop in filter every 30K than have to worry about cleaning the K&N.

This.


Or the CP-E CAI, but you have to make sure not to drive through relatively deep puddles. I had one CEL, but I think it was because we had that meet when it was raining like crazy. Fall cleaning meet I think.

I never got a CEL with the MS CAI.
