hi folks
just wondering what people think of K+N?

 

I ditched mine a while back. I was getting uneven idle and some det which I suspected the filter was causing. Apart from less induction roar the paper element felt no different (but the idle went back to normal and not det).

 

Had no issues with mine for the 8 months or so I used it. Using an STi now, for no reason other than "just for the crack"...

 

Had no problems with my Green.

 

To be honest, as long as they're clean, I don't think there's a great deal of difference between the well-known brands. I think the STi is better than the K&N, but I'm comparing a brand spanking new "dry" filter, to an 8 month old dirty bone-dry "oiled" filter... plus a hint of placebo...

 

Had no problems.
Power Engineering said it causes no problems.(The panel Filter that is.)
Seems well thought in the Forums.

 

the judge,
did you notice a difference when you swapped to the sti from the k+n

 

As I say, I think so. And logically it should be better. But if the K&N had been brand new as well, comparing like for like, I couldn't say...

 

People say that the Green panel filters are very good as well...and, it just so happens , ahem, that I have a brand new, unused, still in the box one of these, surplus to requirements if anyone's interested?

 

How convenient...?!

 

Even more convenient if someone actually buys it!!

 

How much are you looking for Micared?

 

Paid £47 inc. p&p from tsl. Given I've never had it out of the box, I didn't think £30 inc p&p was unreasonable.......but I've been wrong before!

 

Ran a K+N panel filter for 3 years on my MY95 WRX with no problems at all - was good for 300BHP along with other supporting mods.
