I had K&N Drop-ins with my stock intakes and there is a slight difference with throttle response when compared to the stock paper filters but honestly it won't be as great as an aftermarket intake(and that is speaking for any intake) Honestly, this setup compared to K&N Drop-ins+HPS Post MAF Tubes(or any post maf tube) will cost you about the same if you got a name brand filter with these pipes, I'm not so sure about gains with this setup since I have not dyno'd my car with stock+Drop-ins vs these but i can say there are some definite gains with these

IF your going to buy a CAI at least get a quality American made brand or quality import.
The cheap ebay systems are usually cheaply made with rubber that falls apart or cracks or is eaten up by gas or solvents etc. Air filter is a poor design and often with a paper element compared to a K/N . Also aluminum is a really cheap cast alloy made from recycled alloy and it will fracture and break at the brackets and stress points. Alloy is often not anodized and is simply painted, if it is anodized it will fade in a few weeks. While I don't believe in the aftermarket CAI , don't waste your money and put cheap Chinese parts on your cars. Last edited by gsxr750; 08-11-2013 at 03:27 PM. |
