Not everyone buys it for the power. The sound and service interval are factors for some. I'm not a K&N salesman by any stretch, but I do recommend to people that ask, and it's always recommended for the sound and service interval. Power gains are secondary due to individual factors with every engine and drive style. In the end, it's what you have the funds to buy and if it matters to you enough to spend them on something like this.

I had the truck for 13 years and cleaned that same old filter the whole way along. I got a little throttle response and a little better economy. (+25-30 miles to tank at best). Over that 13 years I put 310,000 miles on the truck ( and that same old filter) to me, it’s an investment. But, my vehicles are maintained and mechanically cared for religiously. Don’t recommend wasting the money if you aren’t going to keep a vehicle as an investment. $300 in paper filters . 90,000 miles if they are changed regularly? To most people, that could take 5-7 years.

Ike Reedy So I thick a common reason why it feels better is because the intake sounds louder. Also switching to a k&n Filter in general produces power. The baseline dyno run was with a k&n filter in the stock air box. So you probably did gain power over a stock paper filter and air box, but maybe not over a stock intake with k&n filter. Now as you saw, my truck ran lean. Then we added starting fuel to balance it. Maybe the correct fuel to air ratio from the injectors is need to make this mod work. I may revisit this mod down the road in an effort to see what it takes to make it work.

Matthew Michels I totally agree! However, this product is advertised as a bolt on horsepower adder for an OBD1 vehicle. OBD1 is only tunable if you add a tuning feature to the motherboard. Otherwise, you can’t (as I’ve been told) tune an OBD1 ecu. With that said, if in fact K&N’s CAIs require a tune to work, then they should advertise the product as only increasing horsepower after a proper tune. Or in this case rebuilding the ECU and then tuning. Hahaha! I always have to correct myself for run-on sentences when I make comments on KZbin too.

Mahalo for this video. I don't understand how the K & N kit can be a true cold air intake. It sits in the engine compartment where there is plenty of heat. That shield around the cone filter seems useless to me. There is no cold air plenum being routed to the filter intake or having it located towards the bottom of the motor... anywhere where it can get more fresh air routed to it. The way it's set up, it's just getting the hot air from the motor that's somewhat stuck inside the engine bay. I guess one can drive around without a hood!? Function needs to work with form. This thing seems to be all form.

No problem man!🤙 You are exactly this is more of a “hot air intake.” The filter really does need its own air box that draws air from outside the engine bay.

I didnt like running one of these. It looks cool but... this is what I found out by having one for 5 years: 1> the setup is bad. The filter is only supported by the airtube. So when you drive over bumps it caused the whole assembly to bounce up and down. Now think about the plastic tube that tapirs down and the rubber boot that hose clamps onto it, it will just keep slipping off. 2> the fact that you are pulling air from the bay not fresh air. This is advertised as a fresh air intake but really you are just putting a bigger filter in that lets you hear the throttle vacuum sound and actually sucks the air from the hot motor bay. also the filter gets wet way to easy, no water protection. 3> you will have to constantly tighten the screws up if you are 4x4ing at all. I found that the chrome brace would loosen up frequently and this would hasten the filter MAF assembly slipping off the end of the plastic air tube. final thought, spend the 300 toward a Saginaw swap, metal idler swap, or high power alternator, or even a dual battery setup.

Your 4c car could be much lighter and therefore get more horsepower benefit. That being said, a high flow car can free up a little horsepower but I’m not sure if it’s enough to make a huge performance difference. Now, depending on the car headers can give you anywhere from 10-20 hp. Honestly, it’s all about research. Compare the weight of the cars. Compare the horsepower. Calculate the power to weight ratio. Figure out how much horsepower you gained from your mods. Who knows, if weight is the same, you could be even on horsepower.

Pablo Morales Good question! The spacer is about 1” thick if not thicker. When you install it, it takes the slack out of the throttle cables. Not just that but it even opens the throttle a bit. So your truck will idle much higher and yes it will feel peppier than usual. I don’t think the throttle body spacer increases throttle response because of the spacer itself. It increases “throttle response” because it merely tightens the throttle cable. You can easily tighten your throttle cable without the spacer. This is one of the reasons why I don’t think TBS are worth it.

The subject of ecu’s needing to be unplugged from the battery to relearn is up for debate but is not supported by any industry study. The K&N CAI was installed on this truck for over an hour and was running most of that time. It didn’t just run for the test pulls on the dyno. Conventional teaching says ECU’s being learn new mods right away. If they didn’t learn right away, then the K&N drop in filter should have failed along with all the other mods I have dynoed. If you still don’t trust my test, then l buy a K&N CAI install on a 1995 Ford F-150. Drive the truck for a week or a month or however long it takes, then dyno it. If you get a different result then we can rule my test a fail. Using a different vehicle doesn’t count because results vary from engine to engine.

You think its a good idea to replace the intake while having the battery disconnected?

Jorge Damian You can disconnect The intake with the battery disconnected or connected.

@@TheMinuteMasters so it wont make a difference. Was maybe thinking the ecu would help due to the variations in the fuel to air ratio thats going to change
@TheMinuteMasters5 жыл бұрын
Jorge Damian When the ecu senses a change in the fuel to air ratio it will adjust on its own. Disconnecting the battery and installing the CAI doesn’t really speed up the process. The engine still has to go through the “learning” process which is just seconds for electronics.

I just want to know about the mpg does it save gas?
@TheMinuteMasters4 жыл бұрын
Good question, the OE K&N drop in filter gained 1 mpg. I never did an mpg test with the CAI because the overall performance was terrible. The factory air intake and box have very good flow and draw very cold air. I doubt the K&N CAI would improve the mpg much over the OE fit K&N filter.

If it isn't broken,.. don't fix it. Very interesting results that you got. Was better without the fresh air system.

J. R. Thompson Yup! The general consensus is, the factory intake is both direct and pulls in cool air. Other makes and models will have different results but for this truck, just keep the stock filter clean.🤙

You have to add a tune to expect any results, other than a big throating Growling.
@TheMinuteMasters4 жыл бұрын
I completely agree! What I am arguing is why sell a “bolt on” product that advertises gains for this particular year and model, but not say it requires a tune. Furthermore, this truck is OBD1 which isn’t tuneable without modifying the ECU. After purchasing the CAI, a modifying the ECU, and a dyno tune, you could be into this for $1000+.

Pegasus Motor Company The dyno tech told me K&N CAI are always mixed results. He said you always see gains on forced induction engines or engines with an extremely restrictive factory intake. This truck isn’t force indicted and the factory intake is wide and straight.

Pegasus Motor Company These results are only from this generation of f150. Although, I have heard similar results from other vehicles. The safest bet is to test your own vehicle on a dyno with a K&N and see for yourself.

It’s where on the 5.4 and 4.6 you pull the small baffle like insert from the fender end of the air box to open the air flow

robert worley Gotcha. I’ll keep that in mind next time I go to the dyno. The intake and engine bay of a 5.0 are a tad different from the 5.4 and 4.6. I have been dreaming up a way to channel colder air to the air box. Kind of have a hood or fender air scoop in mind.

You cant just put the filter on you have to retune the engine to make up for the difference in air flow thats where the power comes from more air more fuel more power
@TheMinuteMasters3 ай бұрын
I understand that the engine needs to be tuned to accept a cold air intake. However, the directions do not indicate that a tune is needed, which is why I say this doesn’t work well as a plug and play horsepower mod. With that said, I think I may revisit this test in the future.
