hey i was wondering.....what exactly is this for? Do you get it if u dont want to spend the money on an cold air intake? or do u get it even if u buy a cold air intake to help increase hp and increase mileage? juss wondeirng cuz i searched for this and came across many different answers which ended up confusing the crapa outta me hehe

 

There are some people that don't think it will get you much hp…

There are some people who think K&Ns doesn’t filter dirt out well enough…

On the 2001 Maxima (3L), SCC, got 8HP by switch from stock to K&N (but that is a different car) -- I'm not saying you will get anything close to that...

I happen to like the K&N filter (on my AEM cold air intake) *and * there are some people who will put the:

Replace the stock filter with a K&N and remove some more stuff below the filter box (to get some more power). (There is a lower tube and resonator below the air filter box)

Comptech also makes an oiled-foam replacement that a lot of people like.


So – Comptech is at www.comptechusa.com

OR

Check out the K&N -- and search for the correct part #

(I don't know anyone who has a dyno of it vs. the stock on)

(And opinions are all over the place on this...)

 

If you want to keep you car quiet, go with either a K&N (p.n. 33-2178 for CLS/TLS) or Comptech drop-in.

If you don't mind uping the NVH (noise vibration harshness) factor just a bit, get either an AEM or Injen CAI. Much better than a drop-in, but it is a bit noisy at high rpm.

I've used both (K&N drop-in, and AEM CAI.) I really don't mind a bit more noise from a CAI for the power it gives me.

That's my reason. I got the stock K&N filter last night. I will install it on Saturday. I just didn't want the added noise. I like the quietness of the Acura. Part Number is 33-2178
