DYNO - NISMO CBE and K&N Dropins

ImportConvert · 02-22-2012, 08:07 AM

I'm still stressing over those filtration tests that show K&N to "not filter very well".

Then on the flip side, you have Ford putting a similar intake OEM on the GT500, and then warrantying it for 5/60 with longer available.

Not sure :/

Do you mean the comparison test vs. various other filters on that Supra forum?

If so, it still performed 2nd best of the lot.

Dry mediums tend to filter marginally better, but they also tend to flow a bit more poorly when clean (although, they do flow better when caked with dirt...).

Anyway, you should be fine with either a dry synthetic or oiled cotton medium.

Thanks!

Are there any other filters that drop-in to the OEM air-boxes?

I think HKS and Cosworth both make dry element filters.
