I know K&N claims its filters can give the same amount of horsepower as a more costly intake...but is that really true?
Would a K&N filter really be a formidable replacement for an intake? Do you get the same power gains?

 

NO. This is definitely not true. A lady at Autozone tried to tell me that buying and installing a K&N filter would give me 20 hp. If you're lucky, you might get 1 hp. Now with my Comptech Icebox, I can definitely see and feel a difference. It revs up quicker and is VERY noticeable at the highway speeds. I'd say an intake can give you up to 15hp at the crank.

 

cool. thnx alot

 

how many HP more would icebox give? what if i went CAI?

 

I think the icebox and CAI give the nearly the same amount of power, but the CAI is supposed to perform better at higher revs while the ice box is supposed to do better at lower revs...i think ill go with the CAI b/c it'll look cooler and i think its supposed to sound louder too...higher rev power helps on the Angeles Crest Highway

 

Actually now im torn again b/c i hear the icebox is supposed to give best all around performance and easier to maintain, but the CAI is supposed to provide the most power + that sweet sound
