Where to buy K&N performance air filter?
 

Hi guys

Looking for a drop in air filter. Don't want to order online, want to fit it today.:bonk:

thx for the help.

I know you are in Africa, but here in America we have k&n in pretty much all the auto parts stores.

auto parts store? :eyebulge:;)

Why the rush? Cheapest will be on ebay. I paid R500 from autoparts.titan1

Agreed , also look into the Blitz filter which does not require re-oiling when you clean it, it's around $40

K&N drop in filter can be bought from ATS Motorsport in Randburg
Make sure you call them before you go there thou, not sure of their operating hours on a weekend

Great. Thx guys.

Also try Autostyle, they sell BMC and K&N if I'm not mistaken. 86 takes the same filter as some Corollas.

Just bought a K&N filter.

Just one question the guy I bought it from said it's pre-oiled, is that true? Must I oil it?

thx for the help.

The KN filter is already oiled from the box and you just pop it in. If I remember correctly, the filter material is white after you wash it, and the KN filter oil is red, hence red color after you oil up a freshly washed and dried one.

@Cheddaa thanks

Where'd you get one?

Okay so I put the filter in at work so that I can test it on the way home from woodmead to centurion.

All I can say is wow!!

The car breathes better, top end power increase is very noticeable and acceleration is way better.

Would definitely recommend it.

Do you guys know how much the cleaning kit for the K&N filters cost and if its available in SA? (If so where can you purchase this locally) Or International order?

Nice!!

Drop some Torco Race fuel in there
(Which picks up your octane levels to approx 98ron - Ie the fuel that these cars are currently designed/programmed for?) and it feels amazing!

DIF + Brz exhaust with either:
1) Octane booster(Short term), or
2) 95ron tune / software (Long term)

Makes the car feel like a decent sports car:D:burnrubber:

In before Placebo effect banter...:lol:

Try your local motorcycle shop.
You need a solvent for cleaning, and filter oil.
Both are normally aerosols and quite cheap.

I bought a cleaning kit from Masterparts a few years ago

Amazon

So what does the filter cost?

I got mine a few months ago from ATS for R950.

Masterparts still sell the K&N cleaning kits.

K&N DIF cleaning
 

Decided to clean my K&N Drop In Filter today,

Purchased the cleaning kit from ATS a while ago, but never got a chance to use it, Cost around R200

Was a simple process (Used Youtube for guidance),

After approx 1 year of usage, there was bugs, leaves, stems and other junk hidden in that filter,

Ended up washing it 3 times, and re-oiling it was easy,

I am def not going to wait for a year next time, and will probably clean and re-oil it in the next 6 months,

Here are some pics:
