8th Gen Si K&N Drop In Filter Install and Ripping VTEC

[@765Drift]

The K&N filter itself improves the sound most definitely! It's not just placebo. I have used K&N filters for basically all the cars I've had. My 10th gen Si had one before having the CAI and it definitely had more turbo sounds than stock. The first time I noticed the sound actually was in my first car that I owned - a MK6 GTI. I changed the filter without really expecting anything and after installing my K&N filter, I heard the turbo from inside the cabin when I never really noticed that before. That was back in highschool and I know it got louder because I didn't even know it was supposed to get louder and so I wasn't "looking" for the sound. Took me a bit to realize it was because of the filter. Even my dad's Honda Passport got a K&N filter and you can hear the VTEC engagement now from the J35.

LFG another Cameron Hill 8th Gen SI video on a nice Saturday evening 😎

[@jaebee9805]

The K&N drop in filter is the real deal. The filter definitely wakes up the car a little bit and very impressive HP gains from a filter 😂. The filter has been my first mod on my last 2 cars and be the next first upgrade on my new 2015 fg4

[@kongmengmoua7781]

Memory Lane, had a 2007 civic si coupe with hondata flashpro with kn filter, greddy ti exhaust, it sounded just perfect in my ears.

[@sdalexander8505]

Even on phone speakers i could tell a difference in sound immediately.

[@JasNeo13]

That VTEC crossover sound never gets old

[@StephenBrewer89]

Once you dive into the shifter, you are going to fall in love with that car all over again. Acuity 3 way, solid base bushings, hybrid cable bushings, and the detent springs. Trust me from experience. I just hate that TWM performance is not a company anymore. That’s the shifter I had in my FG2 back years ago.

[@yukonstriker1703]

Don't need Acuity shifter base bushings with either Acuity 1-way or 3-way short shifters. They come with a solid base, screws provided for install.

[@StephenBrewer89]

@@yukonstriker1703 ah thanks for that Dude! I didn’t know. I had TWM but no longer a thing. They would use solid or stock bushings

[@thembp4sho]

The K&N filters are great. I have one in my Nissan Altima and I noticed the difference and better fuel mileage too.

[@allyance8846]

Watching this after buying a 9th gen Si! It came with a K&N air filter along with other mods and I absolutely love it (now I know why you like 9th gens so much 😂). VTEC kicks in beautifully too!

[@LAAO369]

Drop-in oil filters are great. COBB tuning OTS tunes are done with their drop-in filter which are essentially K&N filters rebranded. Less restricted airflow gives you the extra pump.

[@markrodz2633]

BETTER FLOWING FILTER WILL CREATE MORE SOUND

[@Rogerthecarguy]

It’s said that a performance drop in filter is better then any other alternative. Because stock air box is the best designed for the vehicle . And keeps hot air out of intake .

[@typesredline]

Take it from someone with k20a2 experience. Oiled filters WILL over time gum up the throttle body and IACV. Plenty of companies make dry flow now. AEM and Injen are big ones and include it with the CAI. Zero reason to go oiled. My tune would also get all out of wack unless I cleaned the MAF every 10k miles. And no, I didn’t over oil the filter on cleaning. I bought new ones each time so I didn’t need to deal with that.

[@oleyeller3256]

Cleaning the maf every so often don't seem to bad of a drawback though.

[@oleyeller3256]

But man, thanks for sharing that info

[@RA-oy6bg]

I def noticed a difference on all my k24s with the k/n. I def hear more engine noise on your end. I do recall it taking the ecu like 10-20 miles to really pick up the additional airflow

[@zaytoony]

Hey Cam, back when I got my 8th gen Si, it came without a filter! The sound it made was crazy and intoxicating! It was only when I took it to a mechanic that he told me there wasn't a filter installed! I think i drove it like that for a few weeks.

Dude your videos make me want to do so much with my Si! This looks like a fun addition and happy that you got your 8th gen :’)

[@celloasis]

6:20 less restrictive, more sound

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

I bound 6 k&N panel filters together to use as my home HVAC filtration. Picked up +2 fan power.

[@brucewayne5471]

That dash looks so good at night

[@Anything.is.Possible]

Sounds great! Since it has low miles you may be cleaning out the engine. 😂. Every Civic I’ve bought new didn’t fully break in until 50k miles. It’s like they were built so tight. Power improves, better mpg. You may be surprised putting new Boshe plugs. Whole new exhaust with res delete. My 2013 really opened up when I started replacing the intake and exhaust. Shaving 8lbs off each wheel on upgrade.

[@RobertJToledo]

I did a K&N drop-in filter on my 2017 Ridgeline and added 10 more HP. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼

[@CaseysCollectibles]

I put the same filter on my si and definitely got more of an intake noise.

[@markm391]

They sound amazing with a CAI 👍🏻

I have a K&N in my fk8. Best bang for your buck. My tuner says 5BHP all day long.

[@ManuelFresh100]

I remember rocking these filters in my old E46, they're fun but a pain to clean. And you can hear a "woosh" noise.

[@acevedohiram]

Ayy lets goooooooo! I put one of those filters in with a mishimoto intake tube. Its just nice piece of mind! My FA5 came with an SRI and it was wayyyy to loud. OEM+ is the way to go on a daily!

[@DropperKnows]

You need an actual cold air intake to properly hear i-VTEC. I have a CARB legal 50 state Injen CAI. It’s so loud my k20z1 engine just screams like a bat out of hell with stock muffler.

[@Fg2greg]

Facts the rsx vtec louder tho

[@warrenmanuel1259]

Really Needed this video today, thank you Cameron!!

[@markmaligec6734]

Unplug the battery and then plug it back in and do the idle relearn procedure you might notice more improvement after.

[@10thFTW]

K20 loves cold air! Filter is deff worth it for 50$ otherwise go cold air.

[@bensnow4831]

filter is a little bit thinner and better flowing so it probably does make it slightly louder

[@Fa5ian_si]

Cold air intake either from skunk 2 or hybrid will make a difference 👍

[@matthernandez210]

I did a drop in filter in my 4Runner . Only thing I noticed is I hear the engine a lot more higher RPM other than that no other difference.

What's your favourite car wax/ paint protection?

[@AP1GO9K]

Always my first thing do when buy a new used car. K&N oem filter, cabin air filter, oil change, transmission fluid change, diff if not fwd, spark plugs, ect cheap peace of mind. Do K24 bottom end you'll gain a ton of torqe and keep z3 head for top end

[@copyninja2004]

Same here, do the exact thing and depending on the tires. I might change them.

[@justinczternastek5346]

Sounds better

[@yukonstriker1703]

Hondata Flashpro should be your first mod. Big difference as it get's rid of rev-hang, 1st gear throttle dampening and lowers the V-Tec to 4,350rpm, even on a 'fully stock,tuned' basemap 😊 Night and day difference. This is how it should have come from Factory! Then get your bolts ons adjusting base maps according to the mod installed, then after all mods installed you need a Proper dyno tune. Don't run a basemap for any length of time... Enjoy.. I got so sick of tge rev hang and literally 'WAITING' for V-tech to kick in @5,800 I had to buy Hondata. Worth every dollar. although pricey. Currently my only mods are Hondata Flashpro, K&N drop in filter and Megan Racing axle back exhaust. So much better than stock. Have a Mishimoto SRI on order (yes fully aware of the inherent heat soak) but being my daily and living in Canada fear hydrolocking my motor with a true CAI. Simply looking for more intake sound.

The only thing K&N and other oiled filters are good at is making MAF sensors dirty and cars run like ass as a result. If there is no MAF, then sure go for it. Any car with a MAF should stick to dry filters. They flow better anyways.

[@jimmypena2442]

Not if you are going to maintain it. $50 for filter , $15 for cleaner, clean it every 50k miles(per suggestion). A regular filter is $15 so in about 40k miles(assuming you do standard 10k mile change on filters) it’ll pay itself off. Ive driven around 100k total miles in my cars with drop ins and never had an issue. Does have a tint induction sounds difference.
