K&N Air Filter

[Gonzalas]

Hi there, Does anyone know if the K&N air filters are available in Aus yet? They are supposed to give a power increase of 14.7%. This is a huge increase for what should be a relatively low cost. If you've got one, how much was it and is the 14% increase to be believed. K%n web site shows the dyno results for the new intakes, but they're selling them. It will be the first upgrade to my 07 Camry Sportivo.

K&N air filters are here, i think ive heard on this site you can get from supercheap auto. Im not sure if mine is K&N it was with the trd cai, i dunno about 14% increase it just seems louder

filters give a small increase at 1st then after a while the ECU adjusts.

All they do is allow for better flow.

Gains are minimal

yeah autobarn have em too....autobarn had panel filters for 80bucks at one stage....yeah they help the car breathe better like wat others said the gains r minimal....

minimal gains and a better sound, 14% is unlikely :D

yeah 14% just from changing the air filter sounds too far fetched ive got one havent really noticed any gains i mainly liked the idea that everytime i needed an air filter instead of paying 100 bucks for a genuine one i could just clean this one

Thanks for the input. I have a friend that has a workshop with a dyno so I will post the results before and after install.

it would be interesting to see what gains overall you find with the test if it is close to %14 different models would have different results id imagine

intakes or filters??

I believe that they mention that their intakes provide a gain of up to 14%, and that would probably been done on a turbo car with a crappy intake system....
