hey anyone have any feedback on this part that K&N has to offer
http://www.knfilters.com/instructions/69-0026_inst.pdf

 

i like it. its a cold air, but the filter isnt housed behind the bumper so dont have to worry about water.
install is easy, no bumper removal.
7hp increase for $321
the other CAIs get you more hp though.
also interested to hear feedback.

 

I like it too. For a lot of people, not having to remove the bumper, and resonator is a big plus. I really like the detail pictorial instructions K&N is giving.

Up here in BC, we follow the California Emissions Standard. So any air intake system has to be CARB approved, which is one of the reason why I went with the CT Icebox.

 

Everything about this intake is pretty nice. I agree with the not having to remove the bumper thing because that removing and then putting back on the bumper was definitely the most difficult part of the whole intake installation, imo.

 

nicee. hm on the bottom of the installion it said not legal for use in CA though.... why would they be located in CA when its not legal to use here

anyone tried this yet? how is the performace/sound?

 

how do the ct icebox specs compare to this?

 

CT Icebox produce 12hp / 10ft/lb gain. It's also CARB certified.
However, it does cost $100 more and require the removal of bumper to remove the resonator and other piece.

 

i think for the cost of this and its minimal gain, i'd go with injen or takeda

 

which intake is the best fro the buck ?

 

The dyno result can be very deceiving as most tests are done with the hood open, which in this case, probably didn't take into account of the actual under hood temperature during normal operation. This type of short ram intake is generally considered as "hot air intake" as it sucks in hot underhood temp. I would rather spend the time and effort to install a CAI or Icebox instead.
