K&N FIPK- any input?
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=63-6015
I tried to search around on these K&N aircharger intakes on the forum but couldn't come up with anything. Wondering if anyone has them and what they think about them. I'm in the market for an intake and this one seems like it would do the job. The tubing is not metal, so it won't heat up as much, plus it has a heat shield. Seems like a good product. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hmmm, that's the first time I see one from K&N, is this new? I'd be interested if the price is around 200ish. I like that its plastic tubing too, for heat and sound reasons. (isnt the Nismo intake also plastic?)
anyone know the price on it?
EDIT: Price is $285.29. SO F it, I'd rather get a Nismo or Fujita CAI. Fujita is now $212 on Ebay with free shipping. MMM very tempting. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUJIT...spagenameZWDVW

Finally a realistic HP gain from a manufacturer.

I think you can get the Fujita for $189 shipped from Ridetuner in the group buy section.

255-220 = 35hp = 13.7%
255-205 = 50hp = 20-25%

I'm more concerned with the fact that they dyno'd in 2nd gear. WTF? Probably just a type-o, the numbers would be much higher if they used anything lower than 4th or whichever is 1:1.

Is that true, because I'm trying to research this and I'm getting mixed answers. Some say that the intake is useless after about a week since the ECU gets used to it, some say you actually loose some power and others say that even after a week, the intake does give you some power, even without doing anything to the ECU.

^^^^ you're right, it just came out 12/7/07 so no one really has it yet. I think I might actually give this a try. As I said, my first choice for a short ram intake was Berk, but I like the way this K&N is made and setup. The only thing I might do later on is change the filter to an Apex'i.

Write a review on it if you do get it!

Yeah, the heat shield in the design seems to work exceptionally well. Along with plastic tubing rather than a metal
