I got a new K&N air filter for free...SO???

Post by MobileAudio219 »

It's just a drop in one, my uncles shop got it free from the part store (I guess it was some sort of promo thing).. Anyways I needed to replace my air filter and he said I could have the k&n if I wanted it... No noticable performace gains (and didnt expect there to be), but it gives it a nice growl when you stomp on it...

I dropped a KN in my 95 Z34 I had.

My gas mileage improved by about 15-20 miles per tank, the car had better acceleration (slightly noticeable) and I liked the fact this was the last air filter I had to buy!

SO ya it cost me $450 with the cleaning kit, but hey every 6 months I cleaned it and it was like new :D

yeah, this is just a drop in one... It still makes a nice grawl when you crack open the thottle... I'm hoping I'll see an improvement in gas milage but dont really expect it... But yeah, cant beat free...

Did you add the SO??? to the thread title? :surprised :angry15:

Or maybe I was just that tired when I posted this... am I going crazy?

Hmm, but who?

The truck is a 2wd, I was just bored and decided to see what would happen if I tried to go through it. I've got video's of my cousin 4x4 jimmy stuck in it, but I guess it all has to do with the driver because I could stop in it and make it out after a little rockin...

It's going to get bigger rims (16" or 17"), but with lower profile tires and a 2/3 drop... Going with for a street truck type of look influenced heavily but the gmc typhoon... It'll probably have a 355 or or a 383 tbi v8 before next summer...
