Has anyone heard any news on when the K&N intake is coming out...i thought it was suppose to come out at the end of the month?

 

I posted this for the 2.2L Ecotec and I would assume the 2.0L would be coming out before or around the same time. Just send an e-mail to K & N and ask them, they got back to me in a couple of days.

Next 2 or 3 months...WTF....they've had a prototype done for at least a month now...how long could it ******* take

 

well k&n has had my 05 ss for 4 times got the car back with the cold air installed looks great only had the car back for a several days . the car sound and preforms great i can hear the sound of the blower making boost. that wonderful sound.
k&n said they should be ready for sell in about 30 days so good luck all

 

Got some pics of it?

 

yeah, can you show us some pics? Also, what type of power gain did they say you were going to get with the CAI?

 

Yes I am very interested in this. Pic, HP gains,a nd price would be greatly appreciated.

What they said.

 

HP gain is around 8 to the wheel so its good, price is around $300, that what i heard last time from Max from K&N but not sure when its coming out.

 

$300 sounds too high to me

 

i was just at part sourse and they have not heard yet

 

8hp for $300? I'll make my own why thank you.

 

Is this gonna be just a drop in filter or a complete replacement for the intake? If the replacement gives like 8whp, then I'm thinking a K&N drop in filter will give nearly as much, since essentially we already have a CAI style airbox right now stock on the SS/SC. Cause $300 is just crazy. Yeah, I'll just get a replacement K&N filter if I do decide to get anything. Well, that is after I get the GM stage 1 or stage 2 upgrade. And only if I need it, since GM may already include something of the sort in the upgrade.

 

I am with xavier102772

Anything K&N or any other company makes is just going to be a nice peice of eye candy under the hood and not that much better than the stock CAI system. The only changes I would make to stock is remove the airbox and replace it with a cotton/oil cone filter.

 

Just make sure that its not over oiled. GM does have that technical service bulletin out on the use of an over oiled filter and MAF problems. It wont void your warranty to have an oiled filter, but if you have problems with your engine and they determine the damage was a result of improper MAF readings caused by the oiled filter, that wont be covered under warranty.

 

I would think you would get a CEL long before you damage the engine, dont you think?
Some here have already ran into this. You simply clean the sensor and reset the ECU, from what Ive heard.
And yes, 300 is way to much!!!

 

Well, you never now how some people drive their car....they could damage it before they fix the CEL.

I'll have some dyno info up soon on what a drop in filter does, and some information on our new AEM DryFlow filters....yes, we are stepping away from oiled filters! So you wont have issues with your warranty. I'll post that info in my thread.

 

this may sound stupid but i am stupid like what is an oiled based filter would that b like one of them colored cones from auto zone or what?

 

Well K&N is pre-oiled from the factory when you buy the filter. When you clean the filter (K&N) you have to oil it after in the cleaning kit. I assume thats what they are talkin about? Colin

 

ohh ok cool thanks man
