K&N filter makes it quieter??

NegativeIons · 01-17-2008, 06:14 AM

I put a K&N filter into my 335xi this morning..and noticed on the drive into work that it seemed quieter. Is this typical? I was under the impression that it probably wouldn't change anything as far as noise goes..so I'm somewhat confused.

I was thinking it was all in my head (and maybe it is), so I am going to try to put the paper filter back in and see if the sound returns.

I put a clear bra on my car and the car feels more aerodynamic
