Eddie,
I need one for the LS6. If it has a large intake diameter, about 3", I'll take it.

Later,
Mike Ramay

I have a K&N, and I think it's crap, I went back to paper filters once it was time to oil up the K&N. Did not improve anything except make the car sound better. Carl did a swap in test on a dyno and discovered the K&N robbed his car of power, but both our cars have been tuned to different levels.



BTW, if anyone wants it, $20 plus shipping. Clean and oil it yourself.



Regards,



Eddie

I've got K&N in everything except my bike. Haven't noticed a decrease in anything. Also got it for the non-replacing factor more than anything.

Hi all,



Just wondered if many on the group have had experience with K&N filters. I just recently purchased one for my 91 560 SEC Euro. I didn't get it for all the claims for more horsepower and all that hype, I got it just because it never needs replacing again. But I could swear that I don't quite have the ZZZZIP from a kickdown to first that I used to have. In fact I would say there seems a fraction of a second delay when flooring the accelerator in comparison to when I had the stock filter. I haven't scientifically timed the difference, but it seems like the K&N filters are more restrictive to the airflow than stock. As these K&N supposed to be less restrictive, I was wondering if you get this at first because the oil in the filter straight out of the packet and if it becomes less restrictive to air after it has dried out a bit, after say X amount of miles have been put on it. Hoping my last sentence is closer to the truth. Look forward to your comments.



Regards,



Vance.
