I posted this in the 4th Gen forum, but no one replied.

I wanted to get this K&N filter.



My buddy got me a quote of $66.56 for the filter. Good price?
I'll have a shop bend me the pipe for almost free.

Here is the filter dimensions. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Part number RR-3002.

Good idea / bad idea? Opinions?

Trying to cut corners on car mods to save up for air bags.

 

lots of honda ppl have made custom CAI with good results..
it won't look pretty, but it'll work

since you are doing a custom setup, see if you can use 2.5/3" piping all the way

 

i think that is high.. that is just for the filter correct?

 

K&N's are a litle pricey but worth it, if i were you i would buy one of the K&N's on ebay that come with the MAF adapter cause you are going to need that anyway... they are like 69$

i would do it, and once you get the pipe bent, if you want you could pick up some of that high temp. paint and paint it.

 

That's a cool filter, but the CAI may not gain from it. The CAI's weakness seems to be the length of the pipe, so adding a freer flowing filter won't help much. This is evidenced by users who converted from POP to CAI with the POP adapter. They have a POP style filter on the end of their CAI as opposed to the stock CAI filter, which is smalller. Gains are negligible, if there is any at all.

I replaced the K&N off my catman CAI.

It cost $35 but does not have the opening on top.

 

Apparently K&N says that it is their "HIGH END PERFORMANCE FILTER". So I will give it a shot.

I was going to use 3" piping all the way.

Wish me luck.
