about to get K&N drop in

SoCalBlack08 · 09-01-2009, 05:50 PM

a few questions first tho.

1- is it really hard to oil and clean it and how often should i do it to avoid that MAF problem people have?
2-will this make my flowmaster or engine sound better?
3- any gains?

thanx guys

1) the prob is if u over oil it when u do clean it...has nothing to do w/ the frequency of the cleanings
2) no
3) minimal

An exhaust is only gonna give you about 3 to 5 hp. An air filter is going to give you maybe 1.

derekabraham · 09-04-2009, 04:14 PM

I'm getting one soon...

i have a flowmaster on right now and was wondering if the extra air from the filter would make the sound deeper or better? if not im not gunna get it for one horse power haha

I had a K&N on my 96 along with the deckplate mod. It was a bit peppier (throttle response) and helped with gas mileage just a bit (stock exhaust).

Currently, I have a Flowmaster exhaust and an AFE air filter-no secondary filter. Maybe a little better throttle response but not nearly the same as K&N. No noticable change in gas mileage. Sound with stock filter? I dunno....and I'm not putting the stock exhaust back in to find out.

Don't over-oil it. Oil it only when its totally dry.
Clean it regularly depending on the conditions, could be once a year or every 6 months.
