I got a K&N filter for xmas, but I want the whole intake system. I think that means I would just need the tube and the heatshield? Maybe someone could chime in and give some advice...Do I need to return the filter and buy the whole kit? I wouldn't mind a carbon fiber tube with kn filter or some sort of setup like that.... any advice would be appreciated, and pics too!!

 

val is about to sell his k&n fipk u could pick that up and just use the new filter

 

this is the k&n fipk version 2... don't really know whats the difference between the first though.

 

in about 50 days? it's zo's old FIPK, also have the typhoon, which is the CAI

 

if you really want the whole K&N intake system, yeah return the filter and get the whole kit.

But IMO, just use the K&N filter with stock intake system. It will give you same performance, but the sound.

 

I really dont believe it will give you the same performance. And it definately did not give the same sound. I had both setup and let me tell you the sound of the FIPK on WOT is amazing. The filter alone? Sure it sounds a bit louder than stock, but not noticable like the whole kit.

 

I have a K&N filter on my stock air box but run it with the cover off and get significantly better sound. I've considered the K&N FIPK but wasn't sure it was worth the money. Maybe I'll give it a try.

 

with an invidia you cant hear the intake on or off, lol wat

 

if it doesn't give you same hp gain, it'll be less than 1hp gain. Which why I said same performance with just the k&n filter with stock intake setup.

Yeah, you're right, it won't give you same sound, I said that.

Just my opinion towards what OP is deciding.

 

Val, I'm interested in the FIPK, I thought the FIPK was a CAI? The FIPK won't allow hydrolock, I believe, and this is the main reason for getting this one otherwise I'd go with AEM V2...
