In this video you will see an interesting experiment I did on my car to check if the K&N sport air filter will give more power to the engine or not.
My experiment will based on:
- Measuring the amount of air (using a diagnose device)
- Checking the fuel trims ( before and after installing the K&N air filter)
I drove the car also at high speeds on the Autobahn to see if there is any additional power brought by the air filter.
The results:
This type of filter from K&N brings nothing (or nearly nothing) at least I didn't feel a difference. Also it is expensive and needs a special care (washing and spraying with oil).
For more details watch the video and I will be glad to see your comment.
The type of filter from K&N: 33 - 2231
