K & N short intake...opinions

MacLean

So if one was to get the K&N Replacement Filters ($122 for 2 filters) & the HPS Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses ($110) you are only looking at $232. A guy stated that he did a dyno 3x's with the K&N Replacement Filters & he received 10whp. HPS Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses is stating 6.77whp. I'm guessing that if one opted to go with the Z1 Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses instead of the HPS Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses that the whp would possibly be the same. Ok at the end of the day one could possibly assume that if he/she went with both K&N Replacement Filters & HPS Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses (or Z1 Silicone Post-MAF Intake Hoses) that you can possibly have 11-14whp (maybe 14-16.77whp with tune)?

The Stillen G3 claims 18.33whp, Takeda Stage 2 Intake claims 15whp, K&N Typhoon 13-15whp & the K&N Replacement Filters plus Post-MAF Intake Hose (10whp for filters & 6.77whp for Post-MAF) 16.77whp (doubt it would be this high).

Yes I do agree that if one already has a CBE (20+whp) & adds mods (CAI 15whp), then you will not get 35whp. If you want to get back some of the hp that you lost by adding mods to the car, then you should get a tune.

Have them on my car and I love them

Had the HPS MAF Tubes and K&N Filters on before and it was significantly slower than it is now. Don't believe everything you hear on the forums.

Really......... I have my mind set on the Takeda, but these K&N filters & Post-MAF caught my eye as well. I agree with what you are saying about not believing everything you read. I believe one will never go wrong with Stillen G3 or the Takeda Stage 2 Intake. So what did you switch too? How was it actually slower? Did you have CBE & if so did you get a tune?

I meant to say that my car feels faster now with the K&N Typhoons than it did with the MAF Tube and Filter combo.

And yes I have test pipes and a catback, no tune. However mines a Nismo, it already comes with a factory tune (don't know how much difference that actually makes)
