K&N filter - Page 2

CloNeGTS · 09-13-2003, 08:43 AM

Search for posts by a guy named Guru. He is running a Blitz SUS intake and has some nice gains from it using just a boost controller. That shows power IS available to FI cars without ECU work. That being said, back to the original question here...the K&N. A panel filter alone won't get you anything on our cars. Drop in vs. full intake change....difference.

Why would the shape of the filter make any difference? Instead of that smaller area filter allowing that much dirt in, you're pulling over a larger surface area. Same media, oil...everything else. That isn't the only study I've seen with those kind of results either...but another test won't seem to change your mind. I'll remain skeptical. gforced said it...unless it's your own test/dyno/whatever, you never know the intent behind it. If I wanted to show a power loss with a filter, I could rig it.....and of course vice versa.
