I purchased my K&N on ebay for $216.00. Install was no problem. Took it out for a spin after I did the install and all went fine. No rattling, no abnormal engine noise. I hope to see a slight improvent on performance and gas milage.
I am looking into Magnaflows or Borlas for a cat-back exhaust in the near future.

FLYINGBADGER2006 09-28-2005 10:18 AM

no. I was expecting a engine light to come on after reading other posts about this subject. But I had no engine light.

Looks like a clean fitment. Let us know how it goes

JohnB.GWU. 09-28-2005 06:21 PM

why does the tube's diameter decrease at the filter.

according to the commericals, is that really a precision engineered tube or bottle neck restriction to increase velocity or some bs?

Per http://www.kandn.com

"Next we attach the filter to a rotationally molded tube made from interlaced High Density Polyethylene. This process allows us to precisely shape the tube to reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine. This is why some of our tubes have unique shapes or indentations that are specifically engineered for each application."

FYI...

This is where the mass air sensor is transplanted from the stock air box base to this area. The internal cross sectional areas have to be the same for proper air flow rate measurements.

Nice Install Fly looks so sweet that mine will be here Thursday.

To be honest, I tried on a Magna-flow, Flowmaster, and, Dynaflow on my car before I chose Remus. The Remus gave me a quality deep sound while the others sounded kind of trashy. I would definately look into remus before installing anything else.

I can actually help you get a good deal on any sort of exhaust system on your truck though. Let me know if you're interested.

I installed the AirRaid system...179 bucks. Great sound and great acceleration. No engine light problem. Did finnally get it up to 105 on a long strait away. I thought there was a governor

Complete Airaid or Airaid Junior? I went to Airaid and did not find an application for the H3.

I just got done installing mine last night.Pretty easy install didnt take me long maybe 1 hour.I didnt get any check engine light when I started it up so thats good.I did get the gaskets backwards at first,but then Brain started to function again.I have the SMA exhaust already so maybe ill see a little more giddy up.

FLYINGBADGER2006 10-07-2005 02:48 PM

How much did you pay for the SMA exhaust?

FLYINGBADGER2006 10-07-2005 08:07 PM

THATS A GOOD PRICE.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO PURCHASE FOR THAT SAME PRICE? WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

Got it rite here from Jason,check H3 accesories.

flyingbadger, is there a cover for the K&N aircharger you installed? I saw a Volant on another thread with a cover. Apparently the cover will force the system to pull cool air from outside the vehicle instead of warm air from under the hood. I know you have a K&N but will the cooler air increase the HP more than the warmer air? Anyone have any feedback please let me know. I'm ready to order one of them and am trying to decide. Thanks
