How do you clean those things? I know I did not spend $40 bucks for it tp be thrown away like the lregular ones right?

 

k&n makes a special solution to clean the air filter. its sold just about anywhere.

 

Here's what the recharger kits look like:

You should be able to buy them at the same place you bought your filter. Should run about $10.

Slagboy.

 

Try PepBoys, Kragen, Checker, etc. Just buy the "recharge" kit. You clean it and then re-oil it.

 

Do those KN filters make much of a difference for the 3.2 TL. The only car I had one on was a mustang, I had akimoto cold air on integra and it was good, did you guys got much out of KN filter?

 

I had the K&N drop in filter and the only difference I noticed was a throatier sound during full open throttle acceleration (above 4000rpm). The horsepower gains are minimal (probably only about 2-5 hp). If you really want to get the most out of an induction system, you have to couple it with a set of headers and exhaust. I have a short ram system and it is pretty nice in that it frees up some engine bay room and it is a little louder during full throttle accleration.

 

as basison stated, drop in filter is minimal in increase in hp. you wont really feel it. i'll tell you what though, if you custom make your own cold air intake, you will feel gain in hp BIG time. ive done it in my previous car. only cost me 3 bucks and 1 hour im leaving my engine stock on this car. i might purchase a GAB strut bar whenever i decide if i want to upgrade my suspension. i dont want to buy shocks or anything like that.

another thing, once i buy eibach prokit springs for my car, do i need...

a) alignment
b) camber kit
c) all of the above
d) none of the above

which camber kit do i buy anyway? ive looked online at comptech site and other sites and there are 2 kids made for our cars. both have some "negative" number so im guessing that all depends on how low you drop your car. eibach has only 2 kinds for us..sportline and prokit and im guessing the "negative" low number is for people who bought prokit and the "negative" big number are for people who bought sportline. am i correct?

 

Well I just lowered my TL and I'm not buying any of that for a while. Maybe a camber kit down the road. And ya I had an alignment done when we lowered it.

So C, hahs!
