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.

I like the idea of not ever having to reoil a filter.. not really worried about the maf.. but I wonder what the pros and cons of filtration and air restriction go when considering a dry and oiled filter media.

thebarber · 12-02-2008, 08:45 PM

i personally like that the oiled filter will repell water drips and that the oil will hold dirt and dust

ive never used a dryflow filter though, so i can only speak from my oiled filter experience.

like i said earlier, or somewhere else, in my matrix i would clean the filter on my cai every 6 months or so (whenever i put on or took off my winters and front body kit/chins). itd get dusty and grimy from the summer construction in the area and dirty and grimy from road muck all winter....the cai filter was below the driversside headlight......i had 2 cone filters so id always have one clean one around to do a quick swap when the time came...

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.

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.

Yeah , I wasn't sure what intake I want to go with so I played it safe and just went with the k&n drop in that was like $29 + airbox hack . Yeah gotta go with the cheap power modds since I already dumped like 3k in cosmetic parts lol .

K&N 57i Series Induction Kit

Just wondering if this kit is a cai or an sri.... and if anyone is using this

N3misiS · 12-17-2008, 08:04 AM

Yo Guys,

I do not know if you guys get BMC FIlters there, I am running one, and it comes pre oiled, it never lets anything in your intake, not dust or whatever you can think of, Simote is a piece of crap, K N are also good.

The BMC gives a nice sound to...

Have a look....

Finally installed the K&N drop-in air filter today.

Noticed improved engine response.

The whole oiled filters causing a dirty MAF is the result of stupid people thinking together on the internet, MAF sensors go through a self-cleaning cycle every time you start the car. A dry filter is fine for normal street use, but oiled filters will do better in dirtier environments, and prechargers help in both cases.
