Hey guys just wanted to get some feedback on this issue since I'm pretty much clueless on this stuff. How noticeable a difference in throttle response, etc would you notice between using a CAI vs a K&N Performance Panel Filter for a car that is pretty much stock, except for an exhaust.


thx

not much of a difference I'd recommend a CAI with a K and N air filter.

no real noticable difference given the 1.5L engine... it's a small motor man... there is very little improvement to be found.... just ask some guys who have a couple of grand in bolt-ons for their 1.5 liters

thanks for the info guys, guess I'll just save my pennies for something else and stick with the K&N filter.

save your pretty pennies and invest in some tubing to make sort of a air dam to direct cold air to your stock air box

good DIY mod

A friend of mine who owns a Tercel made himself a shortram intake with a K&N intake out of fibreglass.. He took bottles and wrapped this fibreglass string stuff all around it.. he covered it with a resin stuff and cooked it a little.. Its very cool coz he can make all sorts of shapes and bends in it. He then covered it with a metallic tin tape to give it a chromeish look and give it some strength. It was pretty cool and sounds very nice.

but .. with lots of shapes and bends it would not offer a performance gain....

Oh.. i didnt mean it like decorative shapes. i mean like he had it going where a aftermarket one would go and bend around some pipes where it needed too.. Im not saying all artsy and gay hahah!

unless you want sound and some looks under the hood, just stick with a OEM replacement k&n filter...

oem replacement filter. its quiet and the difference in power gains over the cone filter will be insignificant.
