K & N Filter

Holy mother of god I would shoot myself if mine looked like that!

Just A Question.... Do You Really Need The Whole Set Up Or Can You Just Buy The K&N Filter, And What Exactly Are The Pluses - Performance? Sound? Gas Mileage? Thanks Guys !

I saw a better throttle response and fuel mileage gain around 1-2 mpg if you look at a stock the tubing is ribbed and there is a silence r box to make the truck quieter in operation. If you can smoothe out airflow and increase the cfm you will make gains.

you also want the stage 2 with the sealed air box to get the most out of it.

Gimmick in that I don't believe the better filtration or horsepower claims. 320 bucks for an air filter system is nuts unless you're mounting a remote intake for river forging.

Horsepower costs money and doesn't come in the form of an oil bath air filter.

As for filtering better...using what stats? I've seen lots of gas motors with a quarter million miles on them that have only ever had 4-5 paper air filters in them their whole lives.

There are a lot of options out there. Paper filters are not bad. Do some searching for dusted engines with the K&N.....I do run one but I hear that in very dusty areas that the filters can fail....where paper did not.

Either way, many options out there. MY K&N gave a great sound, I did not notice ant performance it may feel faster and so on but most of that is noise.

Because you cant hose them off and keep driving like this....


When I had done the same thing in my Ranger, Mud soaked the paper filter and collapsed my airbox...had to have the truck towed home as the Ranger wouldnt run if you took the filter out completely...And yes...throttle response was a little better if your looking for that...and the sound is much nicer as well

well then i think i might just put it on my list of things to do then. stock replacement that is, not complete intake replacement.

Yeah right. I agree. I like also K&N as my air filter. How much did it cost you with that air filter?
