I woudnt expect anywhere near 6HP. 1-2HP Maybe. And thats being generous. Deff. not 6.

THe stock K&n short ram already makes 5.71 im just getting a new filter i already ahve the short ram im thinking about changing the filter the new filter allows more air on the top then the typical k&n which blocks the black part if u know wut i mean.

It is a bit difficult understanding what you are saying. Use sentances.

No changing the Filter does nothing.. keep it K&N

o wells im gonna go try it out and post a user review later to see if it did increase a slight change of air flow.

I don't see any additional benefits beside a lighter wallet, but try it and see..who knows?

Keeping your filter clean instead of actually changing it will be your best bet, you probably won't see any gains with a new filter

lightlypurified · 09-03-2007, 04:49 PM

well heres the website for the filter im gonna try it sooner or later as u can see the top is not covered with the traditional black top for those of u r18 k&n intake owners

I doubt it, but maybe this will make you think twice about sacrificing filtration for 1 hp.
