Replying to: hjc1 (May 21, 2007 5:26 am)  When you been at it as long as I have, you will learn and know that these filters are not worth any horsepower or fuel economy increase. As far as saving you money, this is not true either. Simply go over to Freds TDI forum and read all about it. It seems that the slightly oily film can get onto the element of your MAF and queer everything up. Have you priced one of those little items yet? When you do, tell me how you are saving any money. As far as gaining any power at all, I had an Impala SS that I ran on a dyno. The fee for testing my SS included two 'pulls' so the operator asked what I wanted to change prior to his running the car the second time. I removed the stock AC air filter element which had 17K miles on it, so it was not new, and quess what? The horsepower readings were exactly the same! Now if you test with no restriction at all from any filter and the H/P readings are exactly the same, how can any aftermarket miracle filter be an improvement?  Your mileage may vary.

Replying to: pahefner01 (May 29, 2007 5:44 pm) That just proves one thing: There are fools born every minute. How does using a messy oiled K & N filter improve air flow or provide more air than a stock paper element air filter? Can you prove that you are getting MORE air then is needed, when you already have as much or more than you already need? How are you saving any money when those messy and hard-to- handle after-market highly advertised POS costs so much to begin with? How often do you change your stock original paper element air filter? Ever priced your original paper element replacement filter especially when they are on sale? Now tell me about how much money you are saving!  How many stock paper element replacements can you buy when they are on sale for the original price of one of these K & N pieces of junk? I will go out on a limb and say that most people that are using these things trade their vehicles off before they begin to break even money-wise. And during this time, are they getting as good of the engine protection that the original paper element provided? Do you know what that oily film can do to your MAF? Priced one of those MAFs for your vehicle lately? Now tell me about saving money. Have any of you run oil analysis so you will know if your levels of silicon are not going sky high? It is your vehicle and you may do to it whatever you wish, and the people at K & N will love you for wasting your money. You are free to do that, but do not say that you were not warned. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

Replying to: derrelhgreen (May 29, 2007 7:17 pm) It would seem to me that in the mountains of Colorado the air should be pretty clean and not loaded with smog or city pollutants. I have never had a problem with any paper filter, and in the scheme of things, the cost of their replacement was low on the list of total maintenance expense. |
