The oil is still on the filter and oil never drys completely or there would be no point in putting the oil on there am I correct? I bet if you put my tb up to someones that uses an oil filter mine will be damn near spotless compared to there's. the k&n is not worth the extra .3 hp in my opinion.


As for the pop charger... They sound cute.

 

Haha! An your right about the oil not completely drying, If it did you mosdef have "micro" particles flowing thou the intake.

 

The moral of the story is..

 

 

Haha

 

I just told you how I know; I've used them in every single car I've ever owned and never had a single adverse affect. Years of using them and never once had a MAF go out, I've only bought ONE refill kit that I STILL have and have used on 5 cars over 12 years. I put well over 100k additional miles on each car (all used), except the G, but haven't had it long enough.

I mean you wanna talk about believing hype, I've actually used them for a considerable amount if time and you're throwing "studies" that other product companies have done. I think I can consider my experience a little more valid.

And yes, you're right Nissan spent a whooole bunch of money researching how to build this car. But they also have laws to follow. By your theory, their exhaust must be the best too right? And the tint of their windows must be the best at blocking UV rays. No?

 

all that really matters is that you put a K&N sticker on every available spot on your car.

 

Believe the hype. You know how bad the filtration would have to have negative affect to a point where you can notice something via the naked eye?

 

In reality the hp gains from a k&n comes from the actual sticker itself. Study's have shown this.

 

Yes, exactly! And you know how bad it would have to be to have any degrading effects?

 

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that better airflow for an engine (which is an air pump) increases its capability to pump more air.

This is the exact reason we put z-tubes on our cars. Get rid of the turbulant air chamber to create an easier path to the throttle body. C'mon guys, this isn't a new concept.

 

Z tube has no proven gains. The G tube has a sound diffuser which makes it sound lame

And....

If it doesn't take a rocket scientist to prove which filter is best, then why did a retired ROCKET SCIENTIST prove it for you? Hydrazine, aka Tony, aka Motordyne, aka the rocket scientist said OEM is best for longevity and airflow.

The spray oil really just clogs up the MAF and the TB. If you like the K&N hell yeah go with it. I know which I will always go with.

There are many aftermarket paper filters and oil intake filters alike. It's really driver preference.

 

Else:

Adding an intake and exhaust to a stock G adds what... 20 hp? Nissan gave us a very well built car that meat national emission standards.

This is a Grand Touring (350GT) car after all.

 

I think it's fair to say the exhaust gains, to see your aforementioned 20hp, would only be possible with some sort of HFC or test pipe. Either way pretty chitty gains regardless when you think about how muscle cars respond so well to simple bolt ons and were over here arguing about an air filter lol
Depressing...

 

The way I see it is K&N didn't become the #1 air intake system for no reason. They have proven themselves for years hence they're products are top notch
