Just curious if anyone has any performance statistics on switching from stock to K&N Filter on a 99 GT 3.4L. Increased HP or MPG?

u get both, but just go with a whole CAI set-up

Been looking at both, but it's easier to shell out the $60 odd for an air filter than to shell out several hundred for a CAI at the moment =).

Thanks

Welcome to AF Dionnsai.

A cone filter will fit right on your TB, after you remove the stock air box that is.

K&N are not cheap tho....

For the 4990 RX (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=rx-4990) its about $85.
On ebay, you can buy a CAI for that much ;)

yea what XI has posted there, you can place on your stock MAF screen.. its big, heavy, metal lol.. has wires goin to the side :)

anyways, you can put a cone filter on that and fashion yourself with a Warm Air Intake, much much better than a stock air-box drop in filter.

even tho you'll have the ripple stock hose it'll still be a slightly better improvement, this way it puts the HP up more as well the MPG rather than just prob the MPG up 2-3 and HP up 1-2 with a stock drop in

top of it all... all you gotta do is take off the top piece to your box intake, which is easier than pie... and keep all ur stock stuff still installed in case you ever get rid of your car or if you want to switch back to stock box air intake

Been hot and dusty here in tennessee the last few weeks, plus I've been doing long drives on business and pleasure to texas, carolines, missouri, etc...

Think it would be worth putting in the extra for one of the filter wraps to keep the dust down?

Also out of curiosity, anyone have a photo of the cone setup installed to give me an idea what the final product might look like?

Filter wraps arent a bad idea but you do need to clean them more often.

Thier are some pics of a CAI on this link.

If you just want a WAI, you remove the air box then put the 3" cone filter right onto the MAF(which is connected to the air box).

Thier are major drawbacks with a CAI though.
Like water, always gets onto the filter inside the fender.
Or you drive through deep water and it'll suck some up(like I did lastnight :rolleyes: ).......

...Next time I'll go faster! :D

Looks something like that, just with out the metal extension... and on yours you could just take off the top part of ur stock air box, it'd take less than 10mins easy.

Come visit in the austin area if you're in tx :D
