K&N FILTER..

fefo25 · 02-05-2012, 08:50 AM

I just replace my old air filter with a K&N filter. At the same time I did the carbon delete and I must say, I definitely felt a difference! The engine doesn't feel as lazy as it did before. Really improved acceleration! Good and cheap engine mod!!

That's because there is no difference.

Wow that was corny! Lol! For some reason I thought I knew how bad the acceleration was on my own car!? Just when I thought I felt my car accelerating much smoother, u guys tell me its not true. Lol! Maybe the improvement was from going from a dirty paper filter to a new one?! Keep it comin!

It's called the "placebo effect."

Ph0zenstone · 02-06-2012, 09:20 PM

+1 I felt no diff whatsoever...only rationale behind getting the K&N filter was because I have 45k miles on my car and the fact that it's reusable

^ I Guess So. Mine Has 93k.

...this goes to the "placebo effect" and the "no difference" comments...You guys might want to search for Andrews comment from AA tuning, on the K&N filter and the effect it had on the "dyno" test. Maybe you'll change your minds. Something about the development of the Stage 2 AA tune.

What's the purpose of doing the charcoal delete? Will it increase airflow?

SavvyByNature · 03-25-2012, 08:30 AM

I did my charcoal delete yesterday and K&N drop-in. I'm unsure if they're any noticeable gains, but I would say that airflow to the engine increases. At low RPM, the charcoal delete forces the engine to work a tad bit harder until it gets to higher RPMs. Without it, it seems to breathe much easier.

After changing it out, I noticed a small but noticeable decrease in lag when revving it.

gunnerxq · 03-25-2012, 12:32 PM

The only thing I noticed when I did It was that the engine got a little bit louder.
