if your motor is just a stocko, or good exhaust you're wasting your money.

As totq said, K&N is good for people who have spent decent amounts of money on thier engines.

I got a K&N from Shounak though, partly cause I installed neons to his car. I certainly wouldn't spend $120 on one though.. Bit beneficial factor is re-usable etc. I wouldn't mind testing out a K&N Pod though, with Heat Shield.. looooooove the induction noise!

I remember once i read a street machine mag and they tested all types of filters including K&N panel and pod, Paper panel and pod. and they were all the same acording to them. Not enough power gain worth bragging about.

i think ill settle for this one.. pretty much the same thing as a k&n without the 3 digit price tag http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PERFORMANCE-...ryZ32624QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem the fat idiot at the autoshop quoted me 150 i told him to stick it

yeh i din't pay $120 for my panel filter any way paid like $60 wid discount from work but off the shelf at supercheap they should be only $80 anyway. thats for the vt-vz v6 and v8 im pretty sure, part no: 33-2116

I found i had no real gain when i had it it me VN.....

But when i swapped it to the VP it was just gettin 2b 1yr old, i could feel more difference than when i put it in the VN.....
Maybe coz i had a yr of use it was pickin up more crap than new, but this would only restrict it more as it would be dirty, but this would make it suck less air....

Im not sure but i can say that i noticed more diff with a Yr old one in the VP than wen it was new in the VN....gain was not much,maily throttle response...

Id say that the difference most people are noticing when they put them in is because the old one was dirty. Id rather pay $10 for a paper filter several times than 120 at once anyway

 

[calais_cruzin]

Yeah but they are rated to last 1,000,000kms so im not goin to buyin another one for a few yrs now.....
I just take it out of the car im sellin n put in the new car.....

what do you mean by they're 'reusable'... i thought when they filled up with that black crud you binned them. can you wash them or something. i heard air and oil filters needed to be changed every 12 months...
