K&N filter=wow

[02PROTEGE2.0]

so a little background...

first thing i did when i bought my car was buy an ebay SRI....
i soon after learned of the flaws of the ebay brand SRI.... first... the walls of the tubes were thin and easily heat soaked. my solution? ceramic engine paint.

next i decided i wanted true CAI... so i got some extra tubing and extended it into the wheel well just like the injen and k&n intakes.

and now, today, i finally broke down and got a K&N filter....


i was skeptical at first until i talked to my guy at advanced auto parts who assured me that i would be able to feel the difference ebtween the ebay 5 dollar filter and the K&N 60 dollar filter.

im glad i listened to him....

call me crazy but MY CAR PULLS CRAZY HARDER and ITS LIKE 3 TIMES LOUDER!!!

i was so unsure so i went for a test drive... and man wa si suprised! i didnt knwo the filter could be that much better?!?!?!

so i just wanted to say... if ur not using K&N... then please... do urself a favor and buy one.

that is all

Generic Ebay products, thought temptingly cheap, tend to perform as their value would suggest. Good to hear that your K&N has good performance!

just like their oil filters..big difference compared to generic/oem/FRAM

 

[emo_mike]

i've got a ractive filter on my sri. would k&n filter make a big difference. btw it's an AEM SRI.

 

[RaiderMS3]

yes. I have the ebay tube intake with a K&N, and have had one in every single car I have ever owned. Far superior engineering behind K&N

 

[TheMAN]

maybe its faster because it filters less?

 

[RaiderMS3]

Or it is not all clogged like low end filters. i have seen the ebay filters rusted out, clogging it. That is what I mean.

 

[DiS]

yep, Raider is on right track, hehe

BTW!! DONT WASTE THAT MUCH MONEY ON K&N FILTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go to www.ajusa.com and buy yourself a k&n filter for JUST a bit over 30 dollars. Thats what I do.

Or hit up Street Unit, as he can get them too. Buddyof mine ordered a Typhoon SRI for his 06 Si on Thursday.

stock airbox + filter made my car "PULL CRAZY HARDER" but sadly it wasn't "LIKE 3 TIMES LOUDER!!!"

Yea i bought the K&N filter a while back, before i bought my intake. Once installed i did feel a big difference. Still have it if anyone is interested in buying it? LOL

and what about a stock K&N air filter /w the OEM airbox...is it worth the extra money ?

 

[zentrandi]

how about an AEM SRI with the AEM filter? would replacing that with a K&N make any difference?

 

[BadKarma]

The K&N drop-in air filter (that goes into the stock airbox) had no noticable gain for me. Apparently, it also deposits oil on the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor resulting in a CEL (Check Engine Light), so unless you're ready to clean the MAF at regular intervals, it may just be best to stick to OEM filters.

Thanks for the tip

I've had a K&N Stock Replacement filter in my car for well over 1 year now, and have had no such problem with a CEL from oil deposits on the MAF.

Maybe this is being caused after people clean and re-oil their filters?

Cheers.

I wonder how much of a difference there is between a K&N and something like an... Injen filter?

and anyone that buys a fram oil filter should be shot >_>
