Since the ecm's boost (airload) map is rpm/load specific, you're not going to see gain's anywhere.

 

I have not yet installed an AM intake. However, I know that when I used an oiled filter on my Duramax, that initially there was a good gain in performance, but after many miles, the performance seemed off. I installed a new MAF instead of cleaning the old one, and I thought I had dropped in a new motor. It will be interesting to see if the oiled filter has the same effect on the LNF.

 

it doesnt.

just need to remember to clean the filter every once in a while so the filter doesnt build guk

 

why cuz i speak the truff

hey i have a drop in filter...k&n for your new SS do you want to buy it from me...ill give you a good price

 

K&N ftw

 

It's really easy to determine which type filter is best for your car. Go to the parts house and compare the filters side by side. Pick one up and study it. Then pick up the other one and study it. Whichever one puts the biggest tilt in your kilt is right for you.

ordered a hahn intake. it comes with a K&N buddy

 

watever....i was going to give u a really good deal...maybe next time...or who ever is interested

 

lol tell david. went back to a stock intake.

 

Issues in the past causing CEL's on people's cars was typically caused by people not tuning the car correctly for a change in diameter in the housing the MAF was housed.

Few people actually threw CEL's because they over-oiled the filter, but it does happen if you don't know what you're doing.

Regardless, it's been proven that you will make more power with an oiled filter compared to a dry-flow...

 

this is true about the oiled filter.

but over time, if you dont clean the filter, u lose HP

 

Regular maintenance is no more difficult than changing a headlight bulb or your own oil. Not really an issue...

 

for sure man

cant wait for my hahn to come in

 

ya. i threw codes on my 05 aswell as the car started idling like ****. it stalled a few times too. the oil was getting on the sensor that screws into the Injen piping. i had to clean it with that spray MAF sensor cleaner. after that, it was fine but that sensor got gummed up alot. i dont think im gonna go that route on the tc, just to avoid any potential problems.

just to throw it out there, the filter on the Injen came preoiled and it caused problems from day 1, so its not like i over-oiled it.
