Yeah, I love what the chip and filter do to my car too.

 

I've used K&N filters in my cars and motorcycles for years. Keep them cleaned and oiled/dried properly they make excellent reuseable filters.
No problems. The longest mileage I has was my bought new 1990 Mits/Plymouth Laser RS turbo FWD. That car ran strong even when I sold it 10 years later at around 140,000 miles. K&N use somewhere around the 2nd year?

They may not give the advertised/marketed HP/torque increases, but I use them for their reliability, construction, and long term use. Plus, depending on application they free up the breathing and allow for less pumping loss in an engine. That's mainly what an intake and/or filter do. THe engine can't take in more air than it's designed to take in, but you can at least let the engine take in that air easier and that free's up some power that can be used to move the car.

 

What is the difference in pricing between ITG and K&N??

I see the K&N's for around $40-$45, but didn't find ITG filter pricing.

 

No more than what any other air filter will do for you. It's all placebo I think. I use it cuz it's a great filter with a long change period and is reusable. You will not notice anything with this or any other type of filter in regards to the *** dyno... You may get - or feel like you are getting - quicker throttle response...

 

I'm wit 'cha!

 

had a k&n in my 5l mustang & it helped alot, had a hks dry filter on my integra gsr, & it was probably a little bit better, but went back to a k&n with my audi 2.8l 30v with mods, & had nothing but problems with my fuel injection system until the injectors were changed. once i had the new injectors, no problems since, & with my exhaust system it sounds incredible ( almost as good as the mustang, in most ways better ) just love to drive thru a tunnel or just with the windows down. do not over oil a k&n filter as that oil will travel down the intake system & screw up your maf or your injectors as what happened to me.

 

Every car I have had has got a K&N filter none have given me any ****.

 

yea whats the deal with people hating on K&N they make great filters that get the job done...... and if it does hurt your car its becsaue you fucked up and didnt oil it right so its not the filters fault

 

It could be all the modders diggin the new products. One thing about the K&N oil/gauze style filter is that you have to oil it and make sure it's DRY
before you install it, cause it can mess up the MAF. But, as you say that's operator error.
