Drop in filter

Hey guys,

Looking for a good drop in filter for the ralliart. Let me know what you have and if you like it. Works, K&N, etc...

I've heard that the K&N is really good. The ppl I know seem to like it. I plan on getting it for myself soon.

I have a K&N drop. No performance change really. A tad noisier that the stock filter. I just see it as a cost savings over the long run and not a performance enhancer. For performance I would recommend a CAI.

I had a RRM SRI on it, but didn't care for it. It sounded good and gave slight gains in throttle response and power at high RPM's. However I did not like how the car lost power off the line. So I am looking at trying a drop in.

P.S. If anybody wants a RRM SRI I am selling one cheap.

Thanks

i have a k&n drop in filter. it does change the sound to the car a little, might increase performance a tad due to the better airflow. the ralliart pretty much already has a CAI the way it's designed.
one thing i notice about it tho during WOT passing through 2100 to 2500 rpm's, there's a slight annoying vibration sound coming from the engine bay... i think its due to the k&n filter being heavier then the OEM one.

Yes your car may be louder but since your filter is directly exposed to the air coming off your motor I believe you're going to be more prone to experience the heat soak that you would get from an SRI

yeah but i feel that the weather stripping from the hood seems to block air from the snorkle, i was thinking of cuttin a section off of where the snorkle is and see if it helps
