Put K&N filter on my SC - WOW!

Let me guess, all the dirt that then K&N let flow into your engine made your throttle stick WFO

[Rusty Heap]

wow spelled upside down is MOM!

you shouldn't let your Mom drive at those speeds!

[joecrum]

Just wait until you put that cool collar on!

[RV Flyer]

Hey, are you sure that the cool collar on the oil filter wasn't part of the reason for the huge performance increase??

Man, I need to get a K&N for my '78 - look out, Yellowbird!

[RV Flyer]

Jeez, Joe, you beat me to it!

[Tim Hancock]

RV Flyer, will you and your RV be at Oshkosh this year?

2 mph slower and you could've just made a back door reference to two of the greatest threads in Pelican history!

How much boost are you running on that filtercharger?

David,

Maybe your old filter was well over due for replacing... What is the consensus on the K & N Filter? Does it improve the engine performance, or just cheaper to clean and re-use for the long haul?

Thanks,

[DARISC]

"What is the consensus on the K & N Filter?"

I think I've just touched that issue with a 10 ft. pole (and prolly shoodna')

charles keiffner (did i get that right?) is the K&N guru on this forum and is a big fan.

beretta fan.......... I before E ! K-I-E-F-F-N-E-R emphasis on the K and the N! sehr deutsch verstehen sie?

so as not to disappoint the masses.......please dont go roundy round with the spray oil like so many here have because they are too smart to read the instructions.

spray each pleat once. let dry 20 minutes. come back re-oil any spots you missed. wipe off excess. let dry.

place in car.

if you dont do this to the letter, and foul things up, well, you get to join the others sitting on the "group W " bench!


167mph sounds about right for my car at calif. mtr. speedway turn 4 into turn 1! with a K & N!

hmmmm jim patrick runs K & N's on his mega buck 3.6 914 from HELL...........they must be crap!


hmmm mi amigoes just finished 17th in the baja 500 last sat. running K & N's on their car. their combined age 127 years old. do the math!

mi other amigo finished 2nd in class 7X with K & N's last saturdays baja 500.

i just wonder what ragland was running for the overall 4 wheel win????? hmmmmmmm???? i just wonder????? LOL!

[berettafan]

sorry charles...i was close though!

[DARISC]

Incidentally, My SC does have a K&N, put on by the PO and, even though my SC only has 194k miles on it and runs OH SO SWEET, I'm going to take my chances with COMPROMISED MOTOR LOGEVITY! and am going to keep using it - NO MATTER WHAT Charles Keiffner says!!!!

[PeterCarrera84]

DARISC, I just went over 192k, !!! I have been using the K&N flat at first, and then the cone since last summer. I love it, it whines like a piglet !!!!(turbo ) !!?? ha ha. (:

[charleskieffner]

what is the advantage of the cone vs. the flat filter aside from the pesky backside latch on the OEM airbox, that is a PITA? interested in a pound or so weight savings removing airbox. where did you get the adapter and how much?
