Thanks Flip. Didn't mean to confuse people, just wanted some clarification on the ECU part of the SRT intake

MRxSLAYx

Understood now..

Does anyone think that the oil will be a problem as if was with the drop in filter?

I know many of you have experienced problems with the K&N Drop In. However, I have not. At least not yet. I have put over 4K miles on mine. Performance has not changed, and I'm still getting between 20 and 22 MPG from my F. Again, I consider mileage like that for a car as capable as the F to be phenomenal. My intake tract is currently made up of the stock intake box, the K&N Drop In, and the JoeZ intake Tube.

Just stay with the stock intake. It pulls cold air in and works great. All these intakes, and others that will be released will make no more than 10whp--TOPS!!!--a gain you will never feel/see. Just keep it stock or get the JoeZ intake pipe (it's less expensive than the rest and gives some results while keeping the cold air/stock system). The SRT system has to use a piggy back, and I think they dynoed in 5th, not accurate compared to 6th gear.

I bet AEM will make a true CAI that will be piped into the fender and place the filter element actually in the fender. A great design, but these are always a pain to clean/maintain.

Just keep it stock.....

Hmm interesting posts.

If anyone is interested we carry all of K&N's products. We can probably work out a deal for the first guy to get this and do a write-up if anyone is interested.

We are always looking for ways to help you guys get good info on parts we sell.

Good Observation the JoeZ gives at least 5whp..

btwanky

honestly... if you can get it for 250$ i'd be willing to try it..

There is a member named jwain on a diff ISF forum that has this intake. He was the one who was letting us know
that k&n was making one cuz supposively his isf was a test mule and k&n custom'd one for him. He claims it gained 28whp
as well but there no proven dyno from him alone. Only the dyno graph from k&n. Everyone called the 28whp gain BS and I requested him
to go dyno it himself on a diff dyno from baseline then after with intake. He never did it. So I smell some BS about the gains. Like who has ever seen 28whp just from an intake on a NA car and especially on a dyno? Maybe on FI cars and realistcally most intakes are hard to see gains on a dyno
Cuz of not actual air blowing into it. If showned maybe 5-10 whp at most.

Thanks for the headsup, Mike.....I know there are many who still have faith in K&N, tho I've decided to switch to Tom's.
I trust the dry system more to not upset the MAF sensor.

It arrived today, coincidentally, and I just installed. She'll be back on the road within days and the first stop is the dealer to install my JoeZ exhaust.

Cheers,
Colin.

It appears that K&N used Mr. jwain's car as a mule. IMHO, they couldn't have picked a worse spokesperson for their product. Mr. jwain was not articulate, he was able to post very small pics of the product, but he could not defend himself against skeptics or answer any questions poised to him in an understandable manner. A typical post appears below:

My point is, auto enthusiasts in this niche of the marketplace are somewhat sophisticated. Any manufacturer that makes a product that is claimed to improve it, needs to pick folks who can promote that product and present themselves well, not someone who just happens to own the vehicle it will be used on. K&N made a very poor choice here.

Ya my english grammer isn't great but compared to his I feel 10 x smarter haha jkjk. Anyhow I bought this k&n intake to test and see for myself. It wasn't too $$$. I got it thru my friend's local car shop and he got it to me at 350 cad. Since I'm from canada all the taxes and duties were included in the price so it wasn't too bad to test out. I didn't buy it to help k&n promote, I bought it to see if it actually gains anything close to what they claim. Even if it did gain a bit more then the Joe Z, I would probabely stick with the Joe Z intake and get the Tom's air filter insert cuz I like the sound better on the stock intake anyways. On the other hand if the k&n actually gained 20+ whp then I'd just keep the k&n.
