Wed, 05 June 2002 10:48 A K&N open-cone element type filter will (supposedly) give better throttle response through less intake restriction - some airboxes have a tiny hole to breathe through. I originally put a drop-in-replacement K&N filter in my stock airbox and then swiss-chessed the airbox full of holes with a large drill bit so I effectvely had an open-element filter. Throttle response was definetly better, but how much of the gain was just from the change in filter type I don't know. The problem with this set up is that your engine only breathes hot engine-bay air. I noticed good response initially, but as the engine warmed up and the enginebay filled up with warm air, performance decressed somewhat. So whether you end up gaining from a pod filter or whatwver, I can't say either because in many cases you'll be breathing more air, but it'll be hotter I've now covered up the swisschessed holes and have PCV piping running to the front airdam. Only breathes cold air, and maybee a slight ram-air effect. [Report message to a moderator]
