Upgraded my Injen filter
After having a buzzing sound from my intake drive me insane for the past month, I decided to get a different filter for it. I had a Berk intake a long time ago, so I decided to get the same filter as that one had.
The buzzing is gone and there is also a slight increase in power. Although my butt dyno has never been very accurate, I am 99% sure that I gained 1-2 hp from this. For more info, go here. Look at the size difference: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...6_344_full.jpg Also, fit was not an issue at all and this actually extends the filter even further below the radiator/battery making this more of a true cold air intake. |
First things first, Damn! Your Injen filter is DIRTY!!
Second, did you remove the under the car cover in order clear the berk intake filter? or no? |

thanks for posting this... did you check around for prices, or did you find that price and just think it was good and buy it?
just asking so I don't waste 1/2 day searching if you already did :D |

Wow, looks kinda dirty. Maybe I should check mine too. When I first got the Injen, I was getting like 30-31 mpg hwy, but not it dropped a few mpg. Maybe cause it's dirty?? What do you guys use to wash the Injen filter?? |

i guess simply put, it's good to know that the injen is some generic filter that is always in need to be replaced sooner or later. btw, i had 8k on my filter, and it was just as dark as asu's. |

Yeah, Polo hit the nail on the head about the "move up faster" bit. It just feels like I get better overall response.
