It is a lurking smiley. Just hanging around to see the answers.
I know for a fact, that on my Vette, a straight replacement K&N filter did not do a darn thing to increase HP at the dyno. (Tunnel ram systems such as Veraram that use these types of filters do show an increase in HP on a dyne; however, these are completely different types of air intake systems, not just a straight filter replacement.) I also know from reading reliable reports online, and seeing the test results one manufacturer did on approved accessories for vehicles, that any cotton oil coated filter allows in more particles than a good paper element. As for fuel mileage, I have never read anything in regard to this, other than K&N's own biased information, but cannot believe the mileage would increase and if it did, only by a minimal amount. |
I heard that K&N filters allow more air in and therefore better performance. They allow more air in but also may allow more dirt in. If I am to be off roading in the dirt I am not sure if I would even want this type of filter. Not sure if the facts above are correct or not.

Just a related comment. I have put AirRaid on my 05 SSR and H3 I dynoed the 6.0L LS2 SSR before and after. The AirRaid yielded 16 Hp and 14 lb torque. The dyno guy was quite surprised.
Have no Idea how that equates to the H3 but interesting nontheless. |
Buddy
can you dyno the H3 for us |
as soon as the performance chip come out next month, I am going to do a before and after.
