stock air filter vs. simota or K&N

[niky]

One thing I like about steel, though... ang angas ng tunog... parang motorbike ang sound ng intake... ziiiiing!... hehehe.

Sa Banaue,or sa mga auto center sa mga mall but a bit expensive but the difference is not that great sa BLADE ok ang price hindi taga ang presyo but some of their products are higher a bit. Mga cone type if racing type habol mu or you can go for drop in as showed above. Cone kasi for aesthetic purposes and hp gains due to the custom design and the tubing. K&N and APEXI is good but Simota will do well also cheaper price good quality but K&N is still the leading brand. K&N na standard cone is usually 2.8K-3.5K depending on the design simota you can get 600php-1k. What I noticed about K&N gives the engine more bass in terms of sound it changes the sound of the engine at certain RPM

Innova yung nilagyan ng K&n db? magkanu un?

[yagbolts]

hi sir, just a little bit confuse with all the brands and types..but from reading, looks like K&N Cone type is better? (magpapaluwag din ba ito ng engine bay?) my ride's an '96 Corolla GLI, parang masikip kasi sa loob with all the parts.

Would you recommend this on this type of a car?

thanks a lot for the advises! more power!!!

I have a cone type air filter fitted in a 1993 Corolla Gli. You make use of the Simota tube. As to the filter --K&N, other brands can be used if you do not like the cheaper Simota.

I know this is an old post but ngayon ko lang nabasa. I just want to know anong car in the picture ang kinabitan nito K&N Air filter. I'm interested because the engine just looks like my Innova G a/t gas. Can this K&N Air filter be installed in my car?

[bratski]

attyallanlatras,
thats the engine bay of an innova vvti. a k&N drop in filter like the one on the pic costs around 5.5k

I tried to browse the k&n website, it appears that they do not have an air filter for an innova. How is that?

I'm from Cebu, saan kaya sya mabibili? What are its pros and cons? Maingay ba?

Sa Versacool sa Lahug ang authorized dealer sa Cebu sir (naa sa k&n site)... didto ko kapalit... from Cebu pud.. hehe...

Sir you can cross reference the part number from your stock air filter then use the cross reference option sa k&n site.... (this is if you want a drop-in type replacement filter)
or...
tawag lang didto if they have k&n for innova... tel number is 2319634.

pros: (drop-in replacement)
- more air = slight improvement in throttle response = slightly quicker acceleration = slight gain in power..
- possibly the lifetime air filter for your car - with periodic cleaning & reoiling

cons:
- expensive

It's not noisy when at low to mid rpm... however you can hear an "angrier" engine sound at higher rpms.. hehehe... i.e the sound basically does not change that much based on experience


HTH

How much was the K&N? My Innova (G a/t gas) is still under warranty (1120 ODO), will installing K&N void the warranty?

Since you said that it has "slight improvement in throttle response = slightly quicker acceleration = slight gain in power" will that slight improvement, acceleration and power, justify its cost? Or paarte lang ang K&N? Just asking...BTW, thanks

^^in my opinion if you dont change the exhaust and headers and just rely on the k&n air filter alone, power gains will be very minimal and return of investment in terms of fuel saving will be long term. very few people keep their cars beyond 5 years and the cost of the filter itself will not be worth it. since its a drop in filter, you can always take it out and out back the stock filter when you get your car for servicing so as to not void you warranty

Thanks, so K&N is not for me for practical reasons...

+1 to this.
If you are like us sir who plans to keep their car for more than 5 years, (our first vehicle is still with us and is in good running condition considering it is a locally assembled vehicle with overhauled surplus engine ) then it will be practical to have a long lasting filter.
It says on the box that it won't void the warranty of vehicles. But I'm not sure if it applies.

I had a k&n drop in filter installed on my old '02 honda crv, frankly, i didnt get much savings in terms of fuel and i lost low end torque(usefull on city driving). for me its much better to just change the filter more often, its much cheaper and you don't have any washing filter chores to do. but if you're a car keeper, i guess its ok to get a k&n filter as it would last the lifetime of the vehicle.
