K&N Engine air filter
#2
personally i have a K & N typhoon cold air intake and i love it, it has a guaranteed horsepower gain from K & N of around 10 hp, which is not bad for a $250 bolt on, but as far as just getting a K & N air filter it may add an extra horse or two having better, less restrictive airflow, but i am not sure i have never used a stock filter from K & N, i would rather have a whole intake sytem. one pro for sure is you can clean the K & N air filters and re-oil them, you can do this with the aftermarket cold air intake filter or the stock K & N filter, either one.

I also have a K&N intake and love it! On other cars, I have had a K&N drop in filter, it is a really good investment, you never have to replace it, just take it out and clean it when it gets dirty.

i have the k&n typhoon and mine is carb exempt, so im not quite sure of the difference between them. they both have the same HP gain. you might want to call k&n and ask them but the only difference i see is price and the black coating. my typhoon is chrome.

drawback you should look out for is the wet filters like the k&n can foul the MAF sensor. more silicon is gonna get in the engine over paper filter. there's no real gains to a drop in filter. caymandiver showed that consistently on a dyno.

only benefit is a bit more intake noise and lifetime use. i'd rather get a dry filter than a wet one like k&n.

Hey members of CL,
I found a coupon for advanceautoparts.com.
The coupon is BIG30 = $30 off $75
the K&N filter is $69.99, and buy something cheap to get up to $75.
This a real bargain, I just ordered it today. The coupon works! Not sure whats the expiration date for the coupon.
