Installed K & N Filters

mjposner · 05-24-2018, 06:27 AM

Decided to replace my air filter with the K & N filter. Added about $30 to the cost. Bottom line is that I do not feel or hear any difference. No regrets, but wanted to report in.

Always good to know this sort of information. Though there isn't a performance improvement, perhaps there's an increase in lifespan? In any case, thanks for the advice.

Did you remove the charcoal filters? I did that when I installed the K&N and could tell the difference.

"Did you remove the charcoal filters?" I did this awhile ago, and no difference. What difference do you feel, sound or pull?
