Hey, just an advice for you there, you should check out all season performance tires to make your vehicle perform aggressive like a performance car and better performance spark plugs.
@chrisma2 the duct is built in the housing which leads to your grille, should come with the intake, if youre buying a quality product of course. and the hood closes the top of the housing when its down. so really it is isolated from the rest of the engine and pulling air from outside, if of course your intake manufacturer cares about quality over profit
Yeah, remove the intake that gets cold air directly from the grill, away from hot components, and relocate it to next to the expansion tank in the engine bay. Awesome idea.
@askfskpsk no gain, just a small surface area with big holes to allow dirt in to your engine to cause damage. Why would anyone use a K&N? The original filter is best an due to being oversized, it supplies more filtered air than the engine can use at full RPM.
@urbex2007 uhm intakes do affect exhaust notes, because the more air an engine takes in the more exhaust its going to produce, changing the flow of exhaust and thus changing the sound. shows how much you know about engines, bashing on cold air intakes, particularly k&n, for no apparent reason. if properly installed, an aftermarket intake can add upwards of 10hp, this means isolating the filter element from the rest of the engine, and heatwrapping the intake pipe to the manifold.
@Ednumber39 Agreed except that it only effects exhaust scavenging, not exhaust flow. Less restriction on air intake means its easier for the intake to pull the air when the intake valve opens. there is a point in operation when both valves are just slightly open and for a VERY short period of time. the exiting exhaust creates a vacuum which thus begins to pull air thru the intake. The only way to change exhaust flow it to modify the exhaust from ports/valves to dump.
@UltraViolentZombie thats why its always good to lay straight pipes from your headers back, no backpressure=even MOAR scavenging....innit great? oh wait, thats several thousand dollars in traffic violations...oh how i hate the american justice system......
@urbex2007 it works best if you use the care kit sold by KN which includes filter oil. this oil is used make debris stick to the filter element. Tho if used correctly, requires constant and diligent cleaning. plus the stock air filter is made to fit in it's "air filter box" which restricts air flow to the air intake/throttle body.
uppen luftfilter kan ge dig -15 hk för när man gasar från början så tappan han luft och ger en dålig start det är kollat på en likadan bil med utan uppen filter går mycket bättre än min gammla bmw 330ci så inget rekomedation bara bluff ps den kommer att skada luftmassemätarern så småningom
Actually, CAI give better power (SMALL AMOUNT), better throttle response and better economy because it lets the car breathe more. Factory air boxes restrict air flow to make it more quiet for everyday people.
@MasofkeNIKE Agreed, the oil gets sucked in to the MAF and it also gets burnt and causes errors with exhaust gas sensors. The K&N has gaping holes so allows huge bits of dirt and muck to sandblast the engine and turbo. NEVER use this piece of junk. Learn what a filter is, how a housing works and why it's best for the car.
@urbex2007 I see you all over the k&n filter mod vids do you have a bias or vested interest in another brand or are you just mad that you installed something wrong and now you decide to bash the company and anyone who uses it
Hi, i have BMW 323i, 2000,.. this Air Filter Intake system Works?? how many HP can i have with this?? or speed???, some one can Help my cuestion, Thanks.
@wld318 The exhaust is on the OUTPUT of the engine, not the input! Your K&N is on the input so don't confuse noise with power. K&N does NOT filter and it has gaping holes in it as the surface is 2ft in surface area. A paper element is 13ft and with the housing it outperforms a K&N any day. K&N lie and use contrick marketing. Lots of people fall for it.
@maurcio1973 You will see a reduction. A paper element passes more air than the engine can use at full revs. K&N allows dirt through, is smaller, blocks up faster and the oil breaks MAF sensors. They use clever marketing and people fall for it - owners don't know how an engine works or why a paper element and filter housing is better.
@hish911 Why call it a "cold air intake". Every single car has a cold air intake. This shows how you and others are confused by terminology and so easily conned by clever marketing. At least you made your car slower so everyone can get past you .
@urbex2007 The correct term would be a "performance cold air intake." Even that he doesn't really have. If you look at the "heat shield" you will see a huge gap between the shield and the driver side fender. Hot air from the engine is simply swirling around the "heat shield" and into the filter, robbing power. Further that plastic shield/little rubber trim on top is laughable. A K&N filter w/proper heat shield will yield 6-9HP in this car.
Wow i have a 328ci with basicly the same intake and what a difference. I don't know if the sound is fucked up but that sounds terrible compared to mine.

Surprised since many people claimed they have had power gained after performance filter was installed.
I suppose they tell the truth.
