One click away from buy the K&N fipk setup but really wondering if it truly improves performance that much. Anyone out there have experience with it? Aldo did it improve mileage?

Thanks

 

Its worth it. Performance wise from my experience it felt like the slight difference in acceleration like when you have a passenger vs when you don't. Sounds good...as far mpg seems the same.

 

I wouldn't say that the intake alone will make a lot of power. Maybe increase by 2-3hp? My car came with the K&N intake, which looks nicer, easier to clean, and makes a better sound over stock. You can pair the intake with an exhaust, headers, and a tune to get noticeable improvements lol. Its a stepping stone.

 

I just couldn't believe they listed a +9hp improvement on their websit

 

I've seen results on this site showing a 7whp increase just from dropping in a K&N filter over the stock one, so I wouldn't say 9whp gains arent possible, but dont expect to be like WOAH the power from this intake is crazy! You probably wont feel anything honestly. The best part about that intake is the sound. The sound is intoxicating, best sounding intake by far.

However if you are looking for top performing intake, the AEM v2 makes better power than the K&N, especially in the lower rpm range.

 

Nice intake. Only thing you will notice though is the sound. Anything else will be a placebo effect. It does seem to gain a few hp but most likely from the higher flowing k&n filters since they filter less than a stock filter.
I used to have one when I was NA and I liked the sound of it a lot.

 

What about when paired with flashpro??

 

Pretty much just a new air filter. What you get from the intake package is the air filter and an aluminum intake pipe...in other words, just get an air filter.

 

The oem air filter is just fine so other than sound what can one expect when using this and flashpro? 5 10? Whp

 

Didn't notice any power difference when istalled mine, but the engine screams to your ears which is addictive
