Since I got an oil change due, I am thinking of adding a K&N Air Filter. Is it worth it? Does it make the engine sound nicer?

Any comments about my new rims is appreciated

Thanks,

Hanif

I'd need more/better pics to tell you for sure what I think of your wheels. As far as the filter question K&N is a good brand but won't change your engine tone. You should look at getting a basic Z tube and a plenum spacer as a start to change the sound and performance of your car.

looks good, 18" i assume? rare blue colour too!

as with most opinion questions you won't get a straight answer on the K&N filter. i have one, as i have on all my vehicles. never had any problems. for $35 it means i never have to replace the filter again, so that is a cost savings. i doubt there is any measurable performance gains so for me it is the serviceability improvement that sways me. don't rush out to buy a K&N if your filter is still fine, wait until it needs replacing.

you won't notice a sound difference - for that get the Z tube and an exhaust mod (coupe mid, HKS, etc...).

i have your same rims in black, looking good

I like the rims. K&N is okay, I run them on both my vehicles, but if I had it to do over again I'd go with a dry filter like the one from Amsoil. I may yet do that.

How much would a Z tube run me for? So does the K&N filter add any HP to the car at all?

you can get a z tube for like 60 i think but i wouldnt run the k&n since its oil based and stuff can get to your maf, unless im wrong and its dry

does the z tube include an air filter?

^^ No, unless you buy a whole cold air intake like the Stillen or JWT popcharger. Search those up.

no, its just the tube after the air box, and as far as filters go id get either blitz, apexi or hks drop ins and id order from m motorsports

thanks now I must find a Z tube part none of the infinity dealerships have it around here

You can get a Stillen one. I got it from CZP for $59.95, but I'm not using it yet.

From my personal experience, I didn't notice any difference with a K&N drop in. That's just me though. Other people say it's good. You should check this out:

Good read! Thanks!

Nice car man! Caribbean Blue is WINNNN!
I like the chrome accents with CB too, which is strange, because normally I like blackout, but it goes really good with your wheels (which also look really nice BTW)

If I were in your shoes, next on my mod list would be painting the lower sills to match the car, clear corners, and dropping on Z springs
