I was reading K&N's website about their air filters:
High flow air filters designed to improve engine performance Designed to increase horsepower, torque, and acceleration Has anyone put these on their stock FI Teeners and experience any of the above? I am talking about the filters that go in our stock air filter boxes. Not external modification filters. I noticed Pelican Parts sells then as an option. http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...76%29%2C%20Each |

Does anyone really believe changing your brand of air cleaner will truly increase horse power? It might increase horse power if your current filter hasn't been changed since you bought the car. It will increase horse power if your current filter is hopelessly clogged. Advertizing is decieving as hell. Many of K&N adds say their product is "designed" to increase horse power but does it? Probably not. I've had K&N air filters on my car for 25000 miles. They do a great job of filtering the air. Any increas in horse power (if any) is hardly noticeable.
