kn drop in?

[superfly78209]

I know that the oil on the filter can clog the maf.. but is there another drop in filter that doesn't have to be oiled and just cleaned? or is there a good cai or sri that doesn't have a filter that's hard to remove from the intake and cleaned? Preferebly a filter that will last for many miles.. and not have to be cleaned a whole lot.. and a filter that isn't oiled. Thanks

here's simotas http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI....m=380082081709

but it has to be oiled and its much more expensive then the kn.

well.. i have too. and i haven't either.. did you notice any mpg gains.. im guessing its pretty impossible to feel a more responsive engine or anything?

+1 on oiled filters. I've used K&N drop-ins for many years.

^^Yeah +2 on that , i've also used k&n filters for years and many different cars and many styles of intake i.e short ram, cold air , drop in filter and never had a problem with my maf . Just don't over oil the filter after you clean it and your maf will be ok .
If you want something differnt , thats a dry element drop-in filter i've seen
Blitz for about $50
C-one for about $90
and Trd drop in is about $110

Same results here.
~22000 kilometers so far on my 2008 sedan all with a K&N drop in and never a hic-up. Over 250000 kilometers on my TurboTalon with a K&N cone type intake system, again, never an issue. It still ran STRONG when I let it go.

here's a trd one..

are all of these going to let in just a little bit more dirt than a stock paper filter?

forgot to add i'm running a k&n drop-in with the bottom hacked of the airbox and it works killer for me and only cost $28(pepboy had a sale on k&n's)

[superfly78209]

What do you think.. kn vs. afe (or unoiled filter) which one will collect particles better? and does anyone know how often afe has to be cleaned? Thanks

Also when you hacked the airbox.. did it help a lot?

I belive that k&n claims their filter to flow the most cfm's and also filter the most. The oil on the filter will also catch more crap . Its really a personal prefrence on "wet" or "dry" filters imo. Yes hacking the bottom of the airbox helped tons , it sounds just like an short ram intake now. A lot of sucking sound just reving it and under wot it really screams .I gained about 2 mpg's also, the best/cheapest modd i've done so far and it looks all stock too.

[superfly78209]

so the consensus is.. that the kn filter will filter better than a dry air filter such as the afe? Thanks

Cool. How big a hole in the bottom and where is it? Or di you just hack the whole bottom off? This is got to be the best for the least!

I have two small holes in my airbox which are 2" aprox by 2.5" in rectangular shape. One is on the front towards the headlight and the other on the closest side to the fender. It does sound pretty mean.

Yeah , I just hacked off the whole bottom , about 3 " up from the bottom .I Just turned the box on its side and hacked the whole bottom off . If for some reason I ever want it back to stock, I can just plastic weld the bottom back to the box . It also retains the clips for the lid and the little post that seats into a rubber gromet in the engine bay, so it looks just like stock . This is the best power/mpg's - dollar modd out there . I plan on showing the car and will be going with the stock air-box lid flip upside down and a C-one drop-in filter which looks very killer and still a clean oem look too.

I've run K&N filters in every one of my vehicles, and have never had a problem.

[superfly78209]

Also, can I see a pict on how you hacked your airbox? like which sides? Thanks

[superfly78209]

and how big?
