Taken from RPW

quote:
2. K&N Pod Filter - Fitment of K&N Ram pod assembly or replacement filter. With these models running a Mitsubishi MAS Sensor, fitment of a Universal Pod Filter is not recommended. The reasoning behind this is the honeycombed section requires the air to be very straight and clean. A pod filter is cone shaped and instead, causes a swirling action which confuses the pod filter. To combat this RPW has imported from the USA specific K&N Filter charger kits that are 100% compatible with the MAS sensor without causing these problems. These are a flat oval shaped filter with a proper cast adapter. To quote a comment term :- If K&N believed that that a universal filter would do the job why did they make a specific filter for the MAS sensor.(?) These are guaranteed to not only give a noticeable power improvement anywhere from 10 - 15%, they will not cause uneven idling or running rich. These are the recommended first modification to be done to the vehicle - even before exhaust.
If this is true, it would affect virtually every short ram intake.

I also read on another thread that the length from the MAS to the TB (throttle body) must remain the same distance on an aftermarket intake, as it was stock.



That was all taken from a thread I posted a long time ago, which I completely forgot about. Made sense then, makes sense now. I'm less and less of an SRI fan the more I learn about them. Another benefit of the CAI is the air is coming in much less turbulent, which I think plays another huge part in hp gains.
