Drop in K&N filter already showing improvement

wat2win · 03-19-2011, 11:34 AM

So i put new K&N filters and i see 2mpg improvement on my z!! I know this because same highway, distance, curise control = 2 more mpg!!
Im not so sure about response or power but i think well spent 80 bucks

I agree, and dyno results show reasonable improvements for 80 bucks.

Do you mind if I ask were you can get two K & N filters for 80 bucks?

Thanks

I got mine from Stillen, but there was a sale at the time.

How old were the previous filters? Some of that might be the effect of just a new filter. I doubt all of it was a new filter, but just curious.

Probably because the new filters leaned out your AF ratios.

Thanks for the info on a good place to pick up the filters cheap.
