no sir! just dont OVERoil it...

 

almost a year with it. No problems.

 

Nope! So far so good!

I had one, but it would cause my car to stall after rapid acceleration. As soon as the OEM filter went back in, the problem went away. Maybe my K&N was over oiled from the factory.

An aquaintance of mine had one installed in his Q45. Right after the install, his car backfired and ran rough. I believe it was corrected over time. I am a believer of, if it's not broken, don't fix it. Therefore , no K&N for me.

I have the Unlimited Tuning drop-in and it's GREAT... there is a noticable difference between even the K&N and the UT. I loved the K&N ans didn't have a single problem with it. I say go for it.

So the drop in you have is noticable louder than the K&N?

it seems to suck in alot more air than the K&N because it doesn't have any filiment, just an extremely tightly woven stainless steel mesh. Hard to explain but it's really sweet.

Sound like an expensive item tho? How much and how does steel mesh keep the intake air cleaner than a filiment with oil? Also I have the Z tube so I may not be interested in more noise - just better noise....very compelling item nevertheless

Who sells those stainless steel filters? How much $$$$? I've never heard of them before.

The intake from Blitz is also stainless steel. I would think think twice before installing though, the stainless steel filters are extremely high flow filters and how well they function as a filter for daily commuting is somewhat questionable.

 

The sound of a Drop in is not gonna be any different than stock, this is because you still have the resonators of the stock intake. Changing out the stock intake tube to a 350Z tube will definately create an "intake sound." I've had my drop in for about a year now, damn that reminds me to check up on that thing, i haven't cleaned it yet!

 

The ECU will compensate in seconds, and the car will then instantly thereafter run better. I put the K&N drop-in, then Ztube, then 5wire Grounding Gear kit, one at a time. Tried the ECU reset thing. And a JWT Pop later, but I took it off and went back to the K&N w/stock airbox cause I like the sound better.
I think the single best thing I did was the drop-in. Burbly sputter on rev-fall immediately disappeared, replaced with a very clean, well tuned note. Highly recommend the K&N. And as per the directions, you needn't clean it too often. Promise you'll be happy in making this change.
