My buddy wants me to buy some airfliter thing from him... For like 50 bucks.... My question is... I already ordered a K&N A.F. So,, I am stuck... should i buy from my buddy or go with my gut feeling and stay with the K&N air filter.... it is 63 dollars... The one my friend wants to sell me through is busniess is something like IIP... (Indie Import Performance) N E one ever heard of that?

 

He may be your buddy, but I would stick with what you have on your car now.

 

just stick with yours

 

That is what I was thinking too...... I just wanted to see if I was making the smarter of the two choices... Save money.. go with a better brand... Thanks for the insight!

 

Yea,, my K&N filter will be here on Wed. I am X-cited.... my first Mod to the engine! My last car, was turbo charged lowered and every thing..... but, it was a 2000 Sc2 Saturn,,,, Yea, a saturn... N E WAY.. Just wanted to say my filter is on its way... next i am gonna change my plugs, and plug wires... Everything is gonna be color cordinated.... to my red car!!

 

What type of K/N Filter? Cone or Plate??

 

Just the square plate.

 

I have one, a plate -- and have noticed some decent gains... I'm currently trying to find a way to increase flow through the box... Fortunately I'm at an engineering school and can do that flow-test stuff here...

 

word! stick with the drop-in K&N filter, i got one of those the other day, it tood F'ing forever to get here i can kinda notice a difference in power and sound!!! but when i get enough money im prolly gonna sell the drop-in and get an AEM CAI, juss kus theres more of a power gain! but good luck with your K&N!!! itll last you till you die!!

 

Kick A$$.... you guys make me feel better about sticking with the K&N.... O2izzel... I am a bit on the slow side...(not really but) what X-actly is a AEM CAI? Rhitme03, where abouts are you in IL. ?

 

He's refering to the AEM Cold Air Intake CAI is just the abbreviation.

 

I caught on... about 2 minutes after posting that... I tend to forget things from time to time.... it must be the snow here!!! I never forget things in the summer!!! I wonder why?/

 

I'd stick with the K&N......tried and true is the way to go!!!!! And as 02izzel said It'll last till ya die!

 

Under-bonnet temps get quite high with a Lancer, stick with the panel filter. I had a K&N panel filter in the standard air box with a 4" cold air feed from the front grill and my car could pull 200km/h.
I swapped it for a K&N pod filter fed by the same cold air feed and it could only pull 190km/h... needless to say I swapped it back
