K & N cold air intake
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
I have a K&N Filtercharger kit in my 01 WS6 Pontiac Trans AM Ram Air, I run consistant mid 10 sec timeslipsin the 1/4 all day long when i'm at the track...K&N has never failed its purpose in my race car. Thats just some hardcore personal facts of mine:tu:Nope !
Just GOOGLE* it and theres plenty of consumers long since gone from them.
Still a few knuckleheads running around with their stickers still proudly displayed
Some even dare to fill their Sig line with it rotf ....

The only intake available for the 5.7 is the aFe, which you can buy here:
AFE Stage 2 Sealed Air Intake (Pro Dry Filter) 5.7 - Laguna Speed
Has anyone ordered and/or received theirs yet?

There may be some unsatified customers, but there are plenty who are happy...me being one.
Can't please everyone 100% of the time.
I'm waiting for the K&N to come out, no matter what TNK says:tu:

I put a K&N OEM Filter Replaement in my 01 F150. I instantly realized a 1 mpg increase in fuel economy. Since i drive about 50k miles per year, this saved me a ton-a-gas. It actually worked out to saving about 1 tank per week. Don't know about power output increase.
Theres a reason why K&N doesn't advertise 25HP increase any more.
Dynos dont lie especially when you get 27,000+ Customers in your face with the "Nationwide" PROOF !
Personally I would have preferred to have gone all the way with the Class Action Suit myself LOL!!
It cost them,they changed it and thats all that matters.

advertisements of 20-25HP gains are true BUT you will ONLY see those gains on a dyno with quite a few mods or some form of forced induction. thats when a cold air intake really wakes up.......the gains are way lower with an un-modded motor or no forced induction. With my LS1 motor(as you are no stranger to it according to you) when i'm at the track and i spray my 125 shot N20 my K&N becomes a vital part of the whole forced induction factor......that is when i see the advertised gains :tu::tu: BTW, if i had a paper filter in at the trap speeds that i run my LS1 it would indeed slow me down some, possibly as much as 1/10 of a second.........and in drag racing that is alot. So that is why i say i like my K&N and it has always done its job !!!
I'm also going to wait for K&N to produce a cold air intake for our Tundra's....i plan on getting my 5.7 close to 500HP without any internal motor work.
As I move ahead with this project I will dyno all mods step by step

I saw 17 WHP with the Volant Cool air intake on my 4Runner, and I have the dyno charts to prove it:
Toyota - 4Runner . org Forum - Stage 1 Transformation (Exhaust, Chip, Intake)
That's fine though, all you non-believers can bad mouth the bolt on parts all day long. Meanwhile I'll have more power and be getting better fuel economy :ts:

Awesome !!!!!! My cousin is a speed shop garage owner and a well known tuner......we are currently doing some massive research on the new tundra's 5.7
First, we will be doing some pulls on the dyno to get us baseline numbers. I'll be posting results when i get a chance, my cousins dyno is pretty booked up leaving me limited time to get "project Tundra(500HP)" on a roll......but since i get to use the dyno for free i won't complain I'm interested to see what this motor is really capable of...Sandcruiser goodluck with your project as well, please keep us updated on any progress bud

I gave up on K&N after I bought a FIPK for my 94 Z28. It was a PITA to install and all it did was make a lot of noise. The True Flow kit for the 4.7 in our Tundra/Sequoia's looks promising. I may have to try one in my 01 Sequoia. Any input on this unit?
