Question:

So if COLD AIR INTAKES dont do anything positive for your cars performance, then how does a K&N filter help?

I would like to know how KN Air filters help????because if a cold air intake doesn‘t help engine performance by adding extra air flow, then how does the extra air flow from the KN filter help????

Answer:

true cold air intakes do work the problem is most aftermarket companies have gotten into the trend of calling a high flow intake system a cold air intake. a true cold air intake system will insulate the hot air from under the hood and draw cold dense air from outside the engine compartment.
It doesnt!! The best intake system and filter is the stock one. If you dont keep the KN filter completly clean and oiled, dirt can get into the intake a damage you motor internaly. Keep it stock and use OEM filters.
WELL I dare say you have never ever tested a cold air intake, or even know what one really is? correct? because what your car has on it from the factory, is a cold air intake. That crap made from sewer pipe plastic with and air filter stuck to it is not a cold air intake in the first place, and the only way to test one, is to put the car on a expensive dynomometer and push your foot to the floor and do A WOT AKA KNOWN AS THE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE TEST. so k n puts some air cleaner on a stock 350, does wide open throttle, then puts it on a high performance 350 and does a wide open throttle test again. and says oh gee look, we put 10,000 dollars in performance equipment on a 350 did wide open throttle with stock air filter, then did the same test with k n filter and got a whopping 3 1/2 horsepower change, and put that on every box for every car,. I ddon'tknow about you, but frankly you cannot run around town at wide open throttle to make extra hp it does not work ok? check with your mechanic, and ddon'tbuy power chips, these are less than worthless on a stock motor ok? always talk you your mechanic, before putting this crap on a car, 600 bucks still buys a lot of gas today ok?
