K&N filter......worth it? Reply #16 – March 27, 2009, 07:56:05 PM See if theres anything from Jackson Racing for the mustang. They make the supercharger kits for the miata. this "Ram Air Intake by Jackson Racing" claims to add "up to 14hp in most cases." i dunnoooo about that. the K&N Typhoon CAI is claiming 3.7hp at 6500RPM. 3.7hp at 1000rpm from redline doesnt seem worth it to me. o0oo! they add power!.. about as much as a SuperStreet sticker IMO. look at headers and a cat-back system for noticable power :) Quote Selected

K&N filter......worth it? Reply #18 – April 01, 2009, 06:47:42 PM I've pulled all the *Ram Air* stuff out and I'm going to stick the stock air box and a paper filter on. When I get a chance to take it out (ya know when the weather stops being shiznitty and I can get it out) I expect to see no difference. We'll see though but I'm pretty sure I'm right Quote Selected
K&N filter......worth it? Reply #19 – April 01, 2009, 08:44:08 PM So after reading this: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest1.htm I'm going with a paper filter. It filters better than a K&N and costs less. Paper filters do flow less than a K&N, a whole 0.14% less for the worst flowing paper filter in the test. I'm pretty sure I won't miss that 0.14% flow Quote Selected

I'm pretty sure I won't miss that 0.14% flow Agree 100%. It's also easier to just pickup paper filters when on sale and drop them in when dirty. There was some seller I saw last year (may have been eBay, may have been craigslist) that had like 30 Motorcraft filters (bulk stock) for like a buck a piece - had to buy them all though. I didn't get them at the time but should have. Quote Selected

Reply #21 – April 15, 2009, 06:22:34 PM So I finally took the car out for a spin after removing the March Ram Air kit with a K&N and putting the stock airbox and paper filter back on. Did I feel a difference? NO. Car felt the same. I now have an extra $37 in my pocket (K&N for stock airbox $45, Motorcraft paper filter $8) Quote Selected
