i was wondering if anyone knows if just putting in a K&N filter will give the car any more power at all... thanks

 

Barely enough to feel but I use them. They do seem to eliminate that flat spot in acceleration that all cars seem to have at mid-rpm. Don't expect a big difference.

 

The K&N provides higher airflow in a re-usable format. Over the long run it's cheaper then replacing the filter with disposable ones.

I don't think there is any real power gain, and I noticed no significant MPG gain either. I know the box says so, but I doubt it.

If you want gains from your intake, I'd go to a real cold air system (your choice of AEM, Injen, Comptech, or home made).

 

thanks for the info

 

if you want more power with your K&N filter, remove your intake resonator.
You will need to unplug the positive lead on your battery to reset the ECU after you do this.

 

I've been using K&N filters for years in my cars and trucks. I like the fact that the filter can be used without replacement which saves me money. There is a power gain, but very little...I think mostly midrange.

 

like I said, you need to remove the resonator on your stock intake box. It contricts air flow, and removing it increases flow, more flow, more power. And it's very easy to do. Coupled with your K&N or Comptech high flow filter, you will feel a difference.
