K&N Air Intake

[AJRK]

I'm thinking of buying a K&N intake system for my 96 I-4. I'm wondering if its worth it, and if it will cause any problems. Also, how hard are they to install? Pics would be great too.

Thanks in advance.

having this wont make a significant difference in performance or anything. It just a item to thank your car i guess by giving it more cleaner air.

I looked up HP gain on the K&N site for your car. No HP gain listed and no intake tube kit listed as available. What are you trying to accomplish? As for cleaner air (over stock paper)with K&N I've not seen it as there is a price to pay for a freer (more open) flowing filter. You'll get more noise though.

K&N doesnt make an intake system for the 5S-FE engine ...

but they do have a panel filter ... which will increase air flow a little bit but nothing significant

Thanks for the responses. I got what I was looking for: its pointless, since there's no intake available for the 5SFE's. I appreciate the help.

there are some short ram intakes available and that would be a better route for ya. you wont gain any power but it will sound a lot meaner

its only pointless if u want power, in which case sell the damn car. for sound, hell yeah. the 5s is one of the best sounding 4cyls behind the scoobyru boxter 4.

my H4 boxer engine is silent ... but thats because its N/A and stock ... but not for long [hopefully]

but yeah, the 5SFE sounds great with a SRI .... look up my thread about my Weapon-R installation ... it has videos if you want to know what it sounds like
