What's a K&N air filter?

[Chris Phillipo]

A couple of people told me to get this along with platnium plugs and a
perfomance wire/cap/rotor set if I want to get the most out of my
engine. I did the ignition, but haven't seen this filter around.
Anyone know where to get it in Canada? Is K&N the brand name or a
description of what it does? Thanks.

K&N is the brand name. It is a reusable high flow air filter. It does make
a difference in air intake and when it gets dirty you just wash it and
re-oil it. I use it in my truck and it is probably the cheapest mod. I made
that really made a difference. Your best bet, for purchase, is mail order.

K&N is the brand name ... it is a performance filter (oiled filter) that
is re-useable by cleaning it and re-oiling it.

E-Mail me the application and I can get you pricing on it.

Also, I suggest avoiding platinum plugs (unless your vehicle is an
import). For more info on this check out my tech article on spark plugs at:
http://www.centuryperformance.com/spark.htm

I also have the other ignition parts available you may need ... first I
need to know year, make and model to be able to properly advise you.

I believe Canadian Tire carries K&N air filters as would many other car
performance stores.

K&N is the brand name.

It's a good idea to get the K&N filter oil and cleaner when you buy the
filter. Regualr motor oil or tranny fluid is too hard to clean out and
can ruin the filter.

 It is a 'million mile' air filter, when dirty, wash (sometime re-apply oil) and re-use.
There are claims of increased horsepower (believe 10% in some cases) and better gas mileage.

I purchased one and have noticed no changes in performance whatsoever.  I doubt seriously if it was worth the purchase price.

I too purchased a K&N and haven't noticed any significant performance or
mpg improvements. However, I didn't delude myself into believing that's
why I bought the K&N. I just think it's a superior air filter that
happens to be good for the life of the vehicle. No more buying
expensive paper air filters is how I convinced myself to buy the K&N.

You obviously don't have enough motor.
Mine makes an all out freaking howl!

Seriously, after just adding a K&N, I notice very little
difference other than the bit of extra noise, although a
couple extra mpg and a few hp would be hard to measure in a
couple trips just yet.
