Hello fellow Zheads,

My K&N Drop in Air Filter just arrived today and I will be installing it today.

What should I expect in terms of sound and power increase? Have you noticed any difference after installing your K&N?

Thanks,

John

Nothing and nothing.

Even if you gained 5hp, when compared against 300hp at redline, you're looking at less than 2% difference. Do you honestly think that small amount would be noticed?

The drop in probably won't increase either power or sound. The only advantage I know of with the drop in is you can clean it and never have to buy another air filter. Beyond that, there is no real advantage to the K&N.

Really? Darn, I was hoping to hear a little bit of the intake. Good thing it was absolutely FREE!

I was contemplating buying the JW Pop Charger, but heard that the stock intake maybe the best available, even against the aftermarkets.

you can hear it a little more but not by much. you have to listen for it. As far as power goes, dont get your hopes up too high.

yeah just like everyone has already said the best thing about the k&n filter is that it lasts forever

About a 10 percent increase in horsepower. Burning tires. Shooting flames out the exhaust. That kind of stuff.

this thread alone has made me pull out my k&n sticker and put it on the side window.... that gives me like a 5rwhp gain right??

edit: I should mention my car is completely stock, except for my air filter.... and ever since i changed it out I set off the neighbor's car alarm from the vibrations of my exhaust is giving me now..... LOVE the new sound from the air filter
