K&N FIPK INFO

[kenny-1907]

Hey all i orderd a k&n fipk for my 2000 silverado and was wondering if it made any difference removing the screen from the mass airflow sensor or not. I have seen some in this forums about removing it and was just curious if it makes that much of a differnece or not. The price that some places want for this kit is UNBELIEVABLE....... i got mine for $325 Canadian and that was the cheapest out of the 5-7 places i called. One place wanted 599.95

I've installed a K&N FIPK in my '01 with the 5.3 and at the same time took the screen out of the MAF sensor. I noticed better performance immediately. Nothing dramatic, but definitely noticable. Removing the screen is just a common sense thing. Any screen will restrict airflow to some extent. It's basically there to keep debris off of the sensor wires. If you keep your air filter in good shape, this becomes a non-issue. If you do this, just be careful and take your time. You don't want to damage those wires or you will be buying a new MAF sensor!

down with the screens!

I removed mine, and saw no difference whatsoever. Had I not lost the screen, I'd put it back in.

It made a big difference. Why: It was very dirty.

My truck has 100,000 on it.

I think it is really used to help protect the little sensors on the MAF.

Dammit , i ordered it too soon , just talked to a place on Regent ave. that has them for 299.95.......will call the place i ordered it from and see if they will match the price .... hey it at least would cover a little over half of the tax

Hey i know im a dumb A$$ but what does FIPK stand for?? like a whole intake and not just a filter?

sorry....

Fule Injection Performance Kit....
Yea, i got a sweet deal on mine off e-bay too. I think it came to like $185 with shipping and everything. I dident bother removing the MAF screen. Seemed like too much trouble for a little power gain.

i have never heard of too much trouble for a little power gain...... hell power is power

[Nigel215]

well when you only goin to "possibly" get about 1 or 2 hp, and you risking ruining your MAF and they arent very cheap to replace....thats a little too much trouble for me..
