    sir don't tell your dealer that you install k&N filter...you can easily remove this one and change to stock air filter when going to casa for check ups..

    my SA & service manager saw that i have drop-in k&n when i had my 5k pms. pa And he asked what is the part no. so siguro wala naman problema. But still better check muna bago mg palit.

    *promdiboy, sir i believe effective naman yung filtering ng k&n. my rig does tri-weekly runs on very fine dusty roads and pag bukas ko ng filter box halos walang dust. Although pag k&n you have to re-oil it since hindi siya dry type esp. kung palaging dusty yung dinadaan mo.

    Yes sir, it is safe. Though I haven't used such filters, but I have been planning in purchasing one, K&N is a reputable brand and their filters have been installed already in lots of car units. ;)

    Simota, is also one.

    jmpet : Bro, to be sure you can call up Mitsubishi regarding that.

    So far ok naman po. I've been using drop-in k&n filter nung 1month old pa lang yung strada. Its been through dusty roads weekly pag dinadala sa farm, medyo worried nga ako nung una since may snorkel at parang pasok lakat ang dust pero wala naman naging problema. I have noticed a little improvement in acceleration pero sa fc parang wala eh. Also medyo maingay na yung engine, you can hear the rumbling lalo na pag idle, kasi less restrictive yung design nya. hth

    Depends on what you call safe. More flow = less filtration. So you will be trading off engine longevity for performance.

    Take note that the tests were done in a country much cleaner than ours.
