I don't think it's 100% proven fact, but some dyno testing has proven that a CAI or intake doesn't give you any more power than a drop-in filter and some modification (cutting, reshaping) of the factory snorkel.

I noticed a (re)gain of low end torque with my SRI. I lost quite a bit with the exhaust I had made (too large of a pipe for an NA 1NZ). lol.

That's what I like about the aFe dry filter, I always get worried that I'm under or over oiling the K&N. haha


Does anyone here have experience with both the K&N and aFe dry filter?

Just want to make sure, is this the correct filter?

it's against the law in California to reduce balances on gift cards for fees for non-use so no reason to worry about having to use it right away.

That's the one I have as well. I picked it up locally for about that price.

Didn't know that, thanks! But the K&N wouldn't be a bad purchase from what I'm reading, right?

I'd spend a little less since I'll be using the gift card I won. Lol

That's always been in the back of my mind. Old school Datsun or Toyota, with all those engine possibilities! A guy can dream...

I picked one up from there myself, felt like it helped out, and at worse, it'll save on replacing the paper ones down the line when it's needed.
