HKS to K&N Air Filter Test Comparisson
So I had a HKS filter for about 7k miles. What I really like about it was the sucking sound but I didn't really notice a performance difference especially once I put the stock filter back in.
So a few days ago I bought a K&N air filter. It doesn't really do a sucking sound but I do notice a performance difference especially at higher RPM's.
Anyone else have this same experience?

YOU WOULD NEVER feel that type of a difference....
Placebo effect x a million....
Thats just not a part that you would notice much on other than the noise...
also are you talking about stock air filter system or removing the box and adding a cone filter?

With a cone type filter, I would expect that you would want a tune. Some vendors say that a tune isn't required with their intakes, but I would tune it anyways just to be safe. I'm just running a K&N drop in and I have the gst basemap, which works great. I'm not worried about 2hp . I wanted the filter so that I don't need to change it again. I can hear the turbo and diverter valve a bit better now. That's bonus.

K&N Drop in Replacement filter is good for 3HP - 8HP. May still be plecebo effect, but I think it's a pretty decent bang for the buck.
