fram paper air filter= poop

a week before I got my aero turbine installed I replaced my k&n drop in with a fram paper filter beacuse I found dust in my air box. Its been a few months and I just started to get annoyed by the lack of power and torque that I thought was caused by the decreased back pressure. My truck felt like a loud prius, I would step on it off the line and it felt like I had zero torque and hp it would rev high and just not move like it should. This morning I put the k&n filter back in there, pulled up to my first intersection, got on the gas and was like holy balls this thing pulls like a mofo. I couldnt stop flooring my gas pedal it feels like it shifts through the gears much smoother and pulls much longer and harder in each gear. I would definetly recommend the aero turbine now that I have felt the true difference over stock. Im hooked on this whole performance thing now, I cant wait to get my afe stage 2 cai and DTLT headers Oh moral of the story, I dont know about the OEM paper filter but the fram is insanly restrictive im going to be burning that in our bon fire this weekend

 

at least its good for something

 

TRD please, thanks.

 

haha exactly, I hope this perfectly good fire burning material isnt being used as an air filter in anybodys truck.

 

I dont know what that means friend?
im assuming trd instead of oem

 

It's oiled gauze of some kind...not sure if it's cotton or synthetic.
