Buy what experience? did you uncle have his 240sx dyno'd with a K&N cold air intake, and then take that off allow the proper cooling and re dyno the car with an ebay intake system?

If not please tell me what "experience" you have with it....

So now one cotton filter gives more hp than another? Go look at the filters in autozone, they aren't foam, that's what comes on the cai's from ebay, just like my mac has a cotton filter

its a weird foam material.. not true 100% foam. But its a foam material. I know this because I have a uncle who sold air filters for years. Yeah, sounds like a dead end job, but he enjoyed it very well. I learned a lot about it from him. K&N is proven to be better. Its just a known fact. yeah, some will disagree, but the tests dont lie.

Show me said "test" material...

Test better be an apples to apples comparison also. Flowtested, dyno'd , however it just better be apples to apples.

[97stanger]

just go ask any shop or parts store that sells the filters. they will tell you. Thats the only way i can prove it to you.

haha damn its on now

[El_Cangri]

and cleaning is a blast the design of the filter is idk how to xplain is like a sponge or something with layer and layer if u see one u will see it breathes better.... idk how to explain .... but well on the other side maybe u will see wha 1 or 2 h.p with that filter depending on car but on the 240 it was like 20 h.p gains again K&n rules on imports...

Because ignorance sucks?


We were originally talking about a K&N filter vs an Ebay filter....

I'm guessing the K&N filter is magically going to bring in 5 or 7 more hp over another filter on the same intake? Guess I need to get my BBK decals on my car also, I might gain 12-15 more horsepower their.....

dude, just shut up.

heres your proof. also, look at what the other filters that you guys say are not made of foam, are really made of. Ill give you a hint....Its FOAM.

heres a script from the article....whats it say they are made of???

Also bear in mind the K&N is cotton gauze, the Racing Beat is a single stage foam type filter, the Jackson Racing and Amsoil are dual stage foam, and the Napa is a paper filter. So cotton gauze does flow more air than foam as claimed. Amsoil is the best foam filter for flow. The foam filters are a real pain in the rump to service (this just my opinion and not fact). For that reason, I will never ever own a foam filter myself. I've owned several K&Ns and they are easier to service. If you are buying a high performance filter for airflow, K&N is tops in this test.

K&N FTW!!

Thin Mints are yummy

[97TunedMustang]

Yea i would agree k/n's better but in comparison to any random ebay foam filter you could buy, the difference is so small you'd never notice it. Even that being the case i have a k/n filter and i'll continue to use k/n.

yeah. i just need to have ssstang agree. but he wont. his ego is prolly too big to admit he is wrong. after all, he did want to be a lawyer. That link proves that k&N provides better air flow over the others. although it says its not 200% better, it is still better though.
