filter

[believedat]

I'm sure this question has been asked before.

Are the stock panel K&N filters worth the money?

I have 99 Civic EX(Si Canada)

YES or NO is great.

Are they reusable? if yes and you dont plan to use an aftermarket intake, Yes.

 

[efren3]

id put a cold air intake in it

 

[believedat]

Nope.

Unfortunately I don't want a cold air.

Not if you plan on upgrading to a SRI or CAI in the future. If you are keeping your car bone stock for a long time you might save some money but any performance advantage over a pleated paper element is miniscule. They do last 1,000,000 miles so you could save some money on filters.

Moot point if you go Cold Air or Short Ram. All you have done then is waste money on a fancy piece of gauze that you no longer use.

they flow better then the paper elements are are resusable...if you plan on keeping the car for a while then yes..it will pay for itself in the longrun

check out this link to a dyno chart to see the difference between a stock itr intake with K&N filter and a J's racing intake. 16.9whp difference!!!

Thats a LSVTEC engine btw. You're not gonna yeild the same results on a D or from a B series engine.

i know, its just a example between a stock with k&n and a intake. the itr stock intake has the biggest diameter compared to all other b series stock intakes. im just show that there will be a difference in power between stock with k&n and a aftermarket intake, all cars and hp may be different but you will get more power out of a intake then a drop in filter. but damn, i just love looking at that, 16.9whp of just a intake. J's racing intake yummmmmmmmmm

Yea, those numbers are great to look at. How much is it (probably $300 )? Im gonna locate one for a b18 and see what the results are.

 

[imp0rtfre4k]

they are good cuz u get better gas mileage and u can reuse the filter, it will save you money in the longrun. also gives your car a nice little growl

 

[anfrey]

yeah the k&n drop in is a good purchase, i ran one for quite a while before i got my free cai. never had to change her or even reoil. what a great buy.

i recommend u remove your intake resonator btw

K&N

Well, since I won't be upgrading to a CAI or any other intake. I decided to grab one of these, and installed it today. I love the fact that i can clean it and reuse it. Since I am near a construction zone, there is TONS of dust in the air. I go through paper filters fairly quickly. I didn't notice any REAL power gains, but the engine sounds cool.!

 

[anfrey]

remove the resonator and it'll sound even cooler.

 

[believedat]

Resonator?

Is this the rectangular piece located on the hose going into the throttle body?

Shouldn't that hole be covered up with something if u take the resonator off?

 

[anekin007]

if you take that resonator out, the filter will get dirty even faster.

 

[anfrey]

if you cover up the hole, how are you gonna get air?

and cleaning that k&n reusable filter is easy as hell... plus, it's oiled so it stays clean for quite a while.

 

[$lick Rick]

even most k&n style ( or k&n wannabe ) filters can be recharged using the k&n system

 

[believedat]

sweet

sweetness!

 

[anfrey]

i ran the k&n drop-in filter for a while, it's so nice to not have to change your air filter all the time
