K & N air filters.

Chan Chee Hoe · 03-15-2009, 07:24 AM

Hi Friends,anybody here replaced their standard paper air filter to the K&N air filter[USA made,i think American fans known about it].

RCZ · 03-15-2009, 02:07 PM

There are no gains to be had from this mod. I ran my car with the stock intakes without filters, just straight up open and there was no gain on the dyno.

Well,i am not going for power gain[Singapore has a strict speed limits of 90 km/h],the 370z has more than enough power for the road here,anyway anybody use K&N panel filters before.?

john370z · 03-15-2009, 06:27 PM

I bought and installed them on my 09 z and did not notice anything. I might be a bit louder...hard to tell. Than again a 5 hp gain would not be noticeable.

Why waste money on something that doesn't change anything about the car??? It works exactly the same with out without it...that's crazy...

Then why buy a 300+ hp car, to use on the N-S HWY?
And Singapore's speed limits are not that strict...

When K&N comes out with a Typhoon kit similar to the JWT pop chargers, then I'd be interested!

Kinda off topic, but is this your car? You're in Singapore and your Z color is yellow that's why i ask.

I have them in my Z right now. (I put them in before RCZ discovered that there's no gain.) Do you have a question about them? You know...I just ordered a new Stillen intake, so in about two weeks I'm not going to need them anymore. If you want them, you can have them. Just cover my shipping cost and they're yours.
