jbewley Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Is anyone running one of these? I just put one on in and I swear the throttle responce is quicker. I don't think it is just in my head. Engine note is also different. Very cool. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that7guy Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yep, I have one. It came with the car so I don't see much of a difference... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbewley Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yep, I have one. It came with the car so I don't see much of a difference... Today was the first real test with the new filter. There is a 68 mile round trip I do all the time with a combination of back roads and city. There are a couple of long up hill grades that I normally down shift half way up and my computer says 41.3 mpg as the norm. Today I felt no need to down shift and the computer said 44.6. I feel more pep in the throttle and rev needle stays still at idle. I think I'll get one for my wife's SUV. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvrgeek Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Run them for years in my other cars and will probably get one for this. Testing suggests slightly more restrictive than a brand new clean paper one, but they stay better longer not being as restrictive as a dirty paper one. Also, testing suggests they filter better. Of course, there is a LOT of differences in paper elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bean Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I have them on my P 914 but that thing from '73 who can tell the difference. Hell, it recirculates gas fumes back into the engine as the car smells when running. Wife even says it smells when parked. Bad fuel line I suspect but I believe the K & N filters are worth the money for savings vs. replacements Drivin like a Bulldog on Coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxicooper Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Suggest to have two of the filter. No motoring down time when it's time to clean the dirty one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gart Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I just installed one a few days ago. There is a noticeable difference :top:. This is for my 09 mcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
