Anyone used either K&N Drop In Replacement or CAI or try both and what feed back you would give me?

AEM been lagging us on the 09-12 TLs

I may be wrong, but what I remember is this:
CAI is no better than how the car is engineered. You won't see any gains.
K&N drop in filter lets a lot more particles in then a good purolator (or similar) filter, and if you over oil it, it will mess up the MAF sensor.
Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I dropped the K&N filter in my stock system and it does give the engine a nice tone when accelerating. The throttle response is slightly more responsive as well. Probably a few more miles per gallon too.

I've always done a CAI on every car I've owned except this one. Reason being the TL already drove like a bat out of hell off the lot. My other vehicles weren't as powerful and needed all the help they could get.

I put in the SRI by K&N and it hauls ass!

Go get yours now!

No need to get a CAI for the 09-12 TL. 1st off they don't even make them (only short ram intake) and 2nd I've documented that while the car is moving, the Air Intake Temperature is only 8 degrees warmer than the ambient air outside. I have a Takeda SRI and the sound is amazing but the performance advantage is negligable. With no confirmed dyno results on any performance add-on with the SH-AWD TL, you're strictly going to have to go by "seat of the pants" feel.

Both just noisemakers. If you want some giddy up and some noise, pick up some Magnaflows and have a muffler shop swap them in. Wait for the icebox from Comptech; which should be available sometime around 2019 if they're on schedule....

I should just get a K&N drop in replacement for now.....

If you're itching to spend $40 and get nothing in return, make that payable to pseudomaniac's paypal account.

I like the thought of once the stock filter is dirty/old - then go ahead and replace it with a K&N drop in.

Ya that is what I intended to do. When my stock filter are dirty I just drop in a K&N and a lot easier to replace.
