this K&N plus the E3 Dimond fire spark plugs could be a nice set up till the spring or summer.

^ if u like throwing money away lol

Yeah your right letting your engine breath a little easier and alittle better spark is definitely a waste of money

 

[91CRXTC]

^^^^^ ok we can do that but lets see how things go in the spring.

so what i got from the link is that you can have more flow through the after market filters but does not filter better. You can have better filtration from stock filter but not as good flow though the flow doesnt restrict as much as one would think.

So i still think im gonna get an after market for the flow and will just do a intake cleaning with the spray cleaner maybe once a year to possibly help get what dirt goes go through the filter out of the engine.

i have had K&N filters on pretty much all my cars with a CAI and have not had problems with MAF sensor but install it correctly and you should be fine. The Layout of the engine bay makes me think that just going to a Speed shop and buying a 90* elbow or even a 45* would be as good unless you can get the piping to go outside the bay somewhere but that will come in warmer weather time so for now its a drop in K&N for me.

well i just bought my drop in K&N bottom line cost $52 with tax and shipping from jegs.

when i went to the k&n site and went to buy it online it gave me a list of stores to buy from, direct from k&n was not an option for me, guess they dont like me doing all this business with them.

^^^^^^^ i wonder if hes is talking about an intake silencer or exhaust. if there is a resonator on the exhaust then that will be removed as well in time.

So using a high flow filter can give you either a better mpg or more performance which is not better mpg, I'm going for the performance over mpg.

Ps my filter arrived today will go in soon.

its so small

Put it in and I heard the intake suck air when at idle and I press the gas peddle, almost like my vr6gti use to do.

 

[91CRXTC]

Honestly I don't feel a difference, maybe a slight throttle response, got sick the same day I put it in so I haven't spent any time in the seat to see any difference, the sucking sound is only when I press the peddle, if any of you have ever heard a vw vr6 intake when you press the peddle you would know what I mean though it's not as prevalent as that.

I had a 24v VR6 GLI with a CAI for years. I know the sound you're talking about. :hi5:

:hi5:
Ah yes ok it makes me feel all warm inside to hear it, just wish it had the same pull as the 24v vr6. All in due time

after a good amount of time i can really hear the engine when im driving and really like the throttle response the car has now, really cant wait to do the resonator delete.
