I have a 05 350z roadster that I am thinking of putting on a K/n Air filter. I looked at the directions on line and it seems pretty straight forward. My big concern is--will I have a check engine light come on because I changed the air flow--Will I have any problems at all? Cost is $300 bucks so I want to make sure b4 I plunk down the $. And will I feel a difference i power?--they claim 10 hp on line. Thanks

 

300 for a filter? I doubt it, that must be for the intake. Either way, it will not trigger a CEL. You will notice a differance in sound, probably not much on the butt dyno if any. The gain will be there (dunno about 10hp), but its not that large.

 

nope no CEL, I put K&N drop ins in my 07.

 

Please post a link to this $300 filter. Thanks.

 

aLRITE, BOB, take a deeeeep breath, now....nevermind you aint seriious are u?? KisssN&*** filters rule. (what was your question again??)

that will be bob's first and last post rip

 

300 for air filter???? you must be talking about the KnN intake man, those air filetrs are like 50 bucks

 

I install K&N filters for $25

 

$20 here

 

$45 brand new at eBay.....

 

Moved...

 

Thanks for your responses--I was referring to the K and N with the cone and pipe--not a drop in filter. I priced it at Auto Zone and another place in town--both were around the same price. THanks

 

that would be the K&N intake. I wouldnt waste 300 on it. Throw in a drop in (literally wind up and throw it) and call it good. the stock intake design on the Z is very good, that was the first thing I noticed when I poped the hood at the dealer. It was verified by searching and reading on this site...thats a whole different concept.

 

White - can you produce any extra sound out of a drop in filter? I noticed the stock pipe was pretty good, but I love the sound of an intake suckin in some air...

 

yea it changes the engine sound a little, it doesnt "huff" like the typical tube style CAI when you step on the gas. I dont consider the little huff/puff a desireable or undesireable sound, just my observation.

 

i have the K&N typhoon series intake installed and no "check engine" light comes on. you should be fine. definitley a change in sound and response.

 

I read that the K&N intake sucks pretty bad. There is one for sale here locally for like $75 and the guy cant get rid of it.. If your spending that much for sound get a stillen or mishimoto. Personally Im sticking with the stock box with Drop in K&N

 

If you like the intake buy it. 10 additional horsepower? Not sure about that.

 

K&N make good drop-in replacement filters, but if you're gonna spend $300 for a complete K&N CAI, you might want to consider the Nismo CAI instead.

 

^ wrong JWT FTW I really want one but got no ends to buy one.

 

You'll be better off with a K&N filter than the entire intake.
