I realize that by it being shown that it is free-er flowing, some filtration would have to be given up. However, I don't believe that minute difference is going to make a difference in engine longevity. Also, I was concerned about any oily residue building up on the MAF sensor and / or throttle body. I got past that ... Can I notice a difference? My intuition tells me that there must be a difference, because it allows the engine to breathe easier, thus producing a bit more power. I believe that it may help minimize the so called "torque dip", although I'm not certain that my car suffered from that. It may allow the engine to be a bit more responsive throughout the power band and allow faster rpm gains at the upper end. However, when I dropped that sucker in, the weather turned significantly colder here .... and as you know, colder air makes for a peppier engine. So, I figured, what the hell, just spring for the $50 and see how that puppy works .... after all, it's easily reversable. Yep, for whatever the why fors, I'm keeping it in.... humfrz Last edited by humfrz; 12-09-2013 at 12:14 AM. |

Yeah I just noticed that looking at a different pic. I thought the silver had the chrome housing. Either way, they look really good for "replica" headlights

I was waiting to see someone with a BRZ bumper on an FRS, looks pretty cool. How is fitment? Can't wait to see it painted and badged. Do you think you'll have any trouble putting Toyo/Scion badges on it since the sub badges are wider and more oval? @moomoopanda

My buddy bought one of those knock-off K&Ns, made in China, from used bamboo shoots. Yep, the crickets in his FR-S really liked it, they just chirped away. Then, one day, the filter disintegrated, a piece knocked the stem off the MAF sensor, which told the ECU to tell the engine to go really really fast and since a piece of the bamboo jamed the throttle body flapper thing wide open and it over rode the rev limiter ......the result was not a pretty sight....... Seriously, good deal you got......but I'll betcha ya didn't get the sticker with it ..... that's where the torque difference comes from.... humfrz - I think it's time for my meds .... |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On another note, those Winjet headlights look great. Definitely gonna look into a set of the chrome housing sometime in the Spring..
