Definitely MUCH Better

Marv bought a K&N air filter for his PPV, almost nearly the same day he ordered an over-the-radiator-cold-air-intake.

Since the OTR intake doesn't use the stock filter, he passed it onto me.

You can really feel the difference in power.

If you wish hard enough.

Breathing better is never a bad thing, but the performance gains are overblown by the companies selling them.

K&N has been good kit for me before.

I am certain I am getting the full "up to 20hp" gain.

    My MR2 Spyder came with a K&N filter. Switching to a paper filter seems to blunt the engine responsiveness a little but not drastically. Certainly not the power increase they claim.

    "Up to 20HP" is like the ads that talk about "up to 50% off." Remember that adding 0.001 HP is in the range of nothing up to 20.

      I think what little gain I'm feeling seat of pants is from changing a dirty filter out with the cleaner, better flowing K&N. And "seat of pants" is another way of saying "entirely in my mind".
