So i asked my tuner before i go in to get my engine tune next weekend is there anyting i should get to give me more gains. After i listed my mods.
He tells me to get a K&N, dyno results favored the filter. I've been using purealotor cheapie $10 ones.
I know 50% of K&N complaints back in the day were for blown MAF's but we all can link that to people over oiling the filter. Then obviously it doesn't filter as good as a paper filter another reason why people down play them. I looked backed for some postings, i saw a raptor on here that sucked in water, that wasn't fault of the filter. I seen a couple other nissan owners that liked and used them.
At $35 after taxes i don't see me too loosing much here to test out. I'll get a UOA of this if i do pick one up.
Ive used paper filters all my life mainly because i got a steal of a deal. $5 air filter clearance for my car and i bought 10+. I just change them out yearly which for me is 10-15k. Price doesn't bother me at all, nor does the oiling because i'll just oil/clean it every spring when i put on the summer wheels.
Coming from someone who has dyno tuned over 30+ similiar cars to mines, plus the lost cost of $35 i dont see a reason not to try. Do you?
This is just a DROP-IN filter.
