K&N Million mile Air filter

Post by Ritterkreuz »

Anybody else try one of these? I know a bunch of people who have gotten one and all say that it does what it says. It gave them all about a 2-5 HP boost for their cars. IDK about you, but I like the sound of an easy additional 2-5 horses under the hood. It runs about $55, but its supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Guess I'm looking for additional opinions before I buy.

I have the K&N drop-in filter. Did it add ponies? I doubt that it did. Might have, but I did not dyno before nor after. Some claim they have lost power by using a similar filter. I did notice a slight improvement in fuel economy after installing one. I ordered mine from summitracing.com, but don't think I paid that much. You do have to clean and reoil the filter on a regular basis.

I run K&N filters on everything I own, including my Harley. Can't say if I've gained any horsepower, but I feel they do a much better job of filtering the dust and dirt we have here in the desert. The dirt track racers around here love them.

I've done some research and they do seem to be the best filter around. I think I'll go for it.
