Can you please let me know the part number or model of the K&N filter that you received with the package?

I do know that the air cleaner box for the H3 is the same one used on the Colorado I5.

Yep, and thats the way I will leave it too. I am happy with just the K&N filter for now.

I fell the clamp on K & N is a better connection than the stock filter. The stock filter could easily suck un-filtered air at its connection to the tube. I have not noticed any gain in HP. I have six vehicles all with K & N's. I have used them for a good decade. Oil on a mass sensor is unlikely unless a person would really over oil a filter.

Has anybody noticed a difference with the new filter? Do you think that the metal and rubber parts increases the size of the air box, therefore making more air available? How is the gas mileage with the new filter? Thanks.

I have also replaced stock air filter with the K&N one that came with the intake.I have put the stock air cover back on and have noticed a bigger difference this way.I know it sounds strange but it does feel a littel more peppy.

[H3 Buyer to be?]

The one I bought was a perfect match. The picture is not the picture of the one they sent me. It must just be the stock pic they use. The one I bought was the same size on top and bottom. The install was about 29 seconds, and funny the stock one was barely hangin on, not tied down at all... Oh well, here is the pic of the part number, and box. I paid $39.95 and $6.00 to ship it and it was here in 2 days from Cali. The link to the auction is above, i am sure they have more...

Same here, I'm going to spend my saved money on a cat back. We should try to get a group purcahse started for cat backs. What do you think?

Oh, and by the way, thank you guys that bought the Airaid and SMA, if you would not have posted here I would have spent the same amount as you guys.

I thank you again!

Sma is the Air-raid and yes it is not much. a chip mod will help even more but I would wait for someone to perfect it first. Watch for a waring light if the mass air flow sensor is tweeked. It sometimes happens..

Just buy a K&N airfilter for a Colorado or Canyon.

Well, I went back out and took the airraid bracket system off.
I did leave the airraid filter in and but the stock cover on
Then went for a drive and I am really impressed with the noticeable performace gains felt by the seat of the pants.
I have no idea how much but it really felt more responsive.

Can you give us the website that you bought your filter from?

Firm I believe a few of us that bought the air intake have have just replaced the stock filter with the new one and used stock air box and cover I know I have.Someone here also mentioned that it might take like 400 miles to see any difference.

I think that's just BS, I mean... you're supposed to replace the filter after a few months anyway.

this look like it?

Glad we could be the ginny pig for you.Would you consider sending some of the money you saved our way.[/quote]

I have considered it, but no, I am going to spend the money I would have given you on a new exaust. LOL

The website link is on page one, and it was ebay! Just go to search, and type in the part # and it will come right up!

[H3 Buyer to be?]

I tried it with and without the cover on. I noticed no difference whatsoever by adding the filter, and or with the cover on or off. I did notice when I opened the cover, and removed the stock filter, that the stock filter was barely even attached to the intake. Meaning it was not tight at all... Almost just sitting there. I like the K & N because of the ring, and screw that can be tightened.

Lies all lies....
