It adds a smallest of power hardly noticable IMO, but it creates a great induction sound and changes the note of the exhaust system

Now spend the money on any better than a camera phone so we have a better idea of wtf this is.

@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

@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

@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.

@askfskpsk +2 MPG with magnaflow and res delete. but no noticeable power increase.

[UltraViolentZombie]

@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.

@chrisma2 I LOVE YOU

@jaystyles007 lol

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.

[Ednumber39]

@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.

@maurcio1973 5% more power....
