K&N CAI

KatTuck013 · June 19th, 2007, 10:25 AM

ok, i have a question

My dad wants me to get a CAI.. but he wants me to get a K&N and hes stuck on it.
My boyfriend thinks that I would be just paying for the name that there are others out there that would improve my car the same without paying the price.

Does anyone know which is better K$N or __

___?

Frankly i just want this check engine soon light to go off

GTsetGO · June 19th, 2007, 10:34 AM

i have the K&N on my GT and I like it.

GTsetGO · June 19th, 2007, 10:34 AM

and what codes are you throwing with the CEL?

GreenFaleen · June 19th, 2007, 10:37 AM

CAI won't fix the cel, but k&n i overpriced i mean if your dad will fork over the extra cash go for it, but a 30buck one off ebay is the same thing, I have one on my car and i love it.

KatTuck013 · June 19th, 2007, 10:40 AM

ok, thats what my b/f was trying to tell him.. . and i doubt hed pay for it

but maybe!!

KatTuck013 · June 19th, 2007, 10:41 AM

can you notice a difference after a CAI?

GreenFaleen · June 19th, 2007, 11:09 AM

throttle response is a bit better and you get a cool whistling noise but thats about it maybe 1-3 mpg better,

KatTuck013 · June 19th, 2007, 11:18 AM

do you think a CAI and a new air filter will make my check engine soon light go off. The shop says maybe they couldn't find anything else wrong.!

GreenFaleen · June 19th, 2007, 11:20 AM

umm no it won't, whats the code, cause whatever the code says is what is wrong with your car, find a new shop they are stupid. go to autozone have them read them code then they can tell u what is wrong, it is probably a rear o2 sensor code.

No a cai isn't gonna fix your cel light, and who cares if it costs more for the name your not paying for it

WLJohnson05 · June 19th, 2007, 11:40 AM

KatTuck013 · June 19th, 2007, 11:44 AM

it is more fun not sure on cheap a k&n filter is like 50 bucks now

Murderjetz · June 19th, 2007, 12:50 PM

yeah, but it's a good quality filter...
with the cheap CAI's from eBay, yeah they work the same and for that there's no difference really, but they give you a cheap ass filter. K&N filters have like mutliple layers with some kind of oil on it to filter the air better, apparently. i'm not thinking it would add more power, but i'm gona get a K&N or BBK filter pretty soon just to have better filtered air going into my engine...makes me feel safer I guess.

damn 50 bucks! i got mine for 35 like a month ago from murrays. they had a special going on so i went and picked one up. i wish my dad's friend was still sponsored by K&N because he could of gotten me a CAI for free

ManThatStangs · June 19th, 2007, 01:25 PM

k&n is def one of the higher quality cai's and your not really just paying for the name the company does alot of testing on their products and not only do their cai's inhale more oxygen and improve performance.. they are acutally designed to in a sense "straighten out" the air flow into a more smooth stream instead of causing turbulance in the intake tube which leads to inconsistant amounts of oxygen being introduced.. this design key in that most people that spend the amount of money as your will for your k&n cai have the money to buy a nos fogger to mound nicely in it

.... and the smooth stream of air being introduced also increases the effenciency of atomization from a fogger system.. blah blah blah.. in short.. your not just paying for the name lol..

No, just no..

Your trying to argue that a tube of steel just because it comes in a K&N box is better than the tube of steel that you get from eBay?
