So I just got my s2000 and I want to buy a K&N intake. I was wondering is there a huge difference in buying the filter and removing the airbox vs buying the intake. Also is the filter you get on the intake the same one you buy for the car normally? I want to do it mostly for sound but power is a plus.

 

With the K&N filter for the S2000 you don't remove the air box. The K&N cone filter fits inside the stock airbox. I'm personally a huge fan of stock intakes, based on looks alone. The few HP you gain isn't all that noticable imo. We're talking 5hp. Whichever route you go, I'd be happy to help you source your parts.

 

Do you think the K&N filter is better than the OEM one? also if take off the airbox can it have any negative effects, I like how it sounds lol

 

No it's not the same thing. Yes the K&N Filter is [slightly] better. Yes taking off your airbox takes heatsoak to new levels.

 

who said k&n better? I only heard bad things about k&n filters.....more dirt in engine and oil on maf sensors.....

stock filter is very nice design and gets the job done without any worries

 

Go for the full FIPK system.

 

I have the drop in k&n and a brand new oem filter too. They both feel exactly the same. My new oem filter had a whistle though like my old aem intake on my civic haha.

 

If you're not going to tune via flashpro ems kpro etc just leave it stock or do the drop in. Don't expect much other than the sound

Where is the MAF sensor on this car? I thought it didn't have one and they used a MAP sensor. . .


I have had stock, AEM V1, and now K&N FIPK intake.

Stock worked fine, I didn't like the installation or filter placement of the AEM V1.

In my opinion, the sound you get from the FIPK is worth the price alone, regardless of HP gains.

 

FIPK here it works great no worries of hydro lock either. Dont worry about the oil thats from people putting way to much on and messing up there MAF
