k&n difference????
 

What kinda difference will i feel if i put a k&n air filter in the stock air box? any hp diff? Is it worth it...$40...hmmm.

thanks!

Well, $40 isnt that much. Trust me, I know how it goes starting on a tiny-*** budget and wanting to be fast. A K&N in the air box, (ditch the silencer too) won't do much, say 2-4 horsepower, but no real "seat of the pants" feeling. But hey, you got to start somewhere. Think about it this way. Every lit bit adds up. So you get a K&N now, and you save for some shorty headers or an X-Pipe or some pullies. They'll all add up in the end. Good luck.

Not to mention, it's the last air filter you will ever have to buy for that car. Ever.

Get the K&N and a rigid air inlet pipe to replace the stock rubber one. There's no need for a fancy cold air intake (CAI) kit since the stock setup IS a CAI. You could probably be creative and figure out how to plumb something by going to Home Depot or Lowes.

Lol..I used to use that theory to justify spending the coin on a K&N filters, then it dawned on me that I never keep a car for more than three years usually....oh well, the new owner gets to enjoy the filter anyway...

In MY experience, the drop-in filter did nothing for me except lighten my wallet by $42. NO increase in performance or gas milage whatsoever.

By the time you buy the filter, the cleaning and reoiling goop, the time it takes to clean and oil, I can't see where you're ahead. If you put too much oil in it, it can screw up the sensors, thus more expense.

When mine gets dirty, it goes in the trash, and a stock Motorcraft filter goes back in.
