my new K&N drop-in air filter
Hi everyone, some may remember me as the one complaining about my TTq not powerful enough...
I just bought and replaced the OEM air filter with a K&N drop-in air filter. I can only say the difference is SICKENING(literally). The new-found acceleration is vomit-inducing. It is quite expensive here compared to the states (I got it for about US$75 (I think they sell it @US$45 in the states) but worth every penny. K&N, PLEASE START SELLING CONE FILTER FOR MY CAR!!!PLEASE!!

Can't say I felt nearly the change that Two Tees relates... stands to reason that more air equals
more power, although I remember someone running some tests over a year ago that indicated that the K & N filter did very little if everything else was stock. Also there is the issue of the K & N causing the MAF sensor to get crapped up more quickly. I now clean my sensor on a monthly basis.

I am fairly surprised too, considering that my last car, a fully modified BMW has changed to the drop in filter with little next to no difference and then changed to the cone one to feel a little difference. This one I am really amazed. Maybe something to do with the weather here in Singapore, hot and humid all year round, on turbo charged cars, so maybe the filter make more of a difference here.
Now my next expenditure would be exhaust, any suggestions?

I just installed my K&N filter along with Hyperboost DV..
I did feel much more rapid response, and I heard the problem with the MAF was because people get carried away oiling the filter.
