For those with the Comptech drop-in filter, which side is up? The red side or the yellow side?

Thanks, thats what i figured but i thought i would ask. I put it in already so if everyone said red on top i would go and switch it.

Let me know how you like it. I'm thinking of doing that soon.

I just took the car out for a quick spin on the expressway. I do feel a slight difference but maybe its all it my head. I will say the car shifts smoother. I will let you know tomorrow after i drive to work and back.

What exact is a drop in filter and what does it do?

Shoofin

It's a replacement for your stock air filter, it's freer flowing and is cleanable, unlike the stock one..

thanks, maybe I'll get one too if it helps improve engine performance, where do you get them? does Tim carry them?

is drop in filter better or cold air intake

adamyankee

NO WAY!

A drop in filter just replaces the one in the stock intake. CAI actually replaces the intake with a longer one which will extend further down to cooler air.

What do you mean by better? You will get a more noticeable performance with a CAI than with a filter. Just do some research on this site on CAI and you will better understand how it works. Hope this helps!
