 Subject: Removed K&N,gained HP
IP: Logged
Message:
This sounds stupid but, I had a homebrew that I removed all of the airbox except the airhat and put a Cone K&N filter on it. Well, I also have a Fastman 52mm Throttle body also. But anyway, the filter got so dirty that I just decided to take it off and replace stock box then POOF more HP and TQ!! I thought it would be just the reverse! Can't understand why..and no I didn't have a dyno or anything it was just that noticable so it makes me wonder if all these "cold air intakes" are worth 200-300 dollars?! Whats ya'lls opinion on this?

I've found that the high flow filters really only affect top end horsepower. With the factory engineered airbox you probably get the right airflow/turbulance to keep the air/fuel vaporized.

You know, K&Ns are reuseable. Running a
clean filter at all times is your best bet for
performance, aside from keeping gas in the
tank...

Make sure you don't over-oil the K&N filter. An over-oiled filter will have too much restriction. Found out the hard way on my motorcycle.
