Is it a good idea to put a KN Filter on my new landcruiser?
By kasimsonyvaio •
Well ivé heard lots of things about the kn filter and thought i might get one installed in my 2009 VXR for about 500QR.
Just wanted to ask existing users, is it a good thing to buy?
I mean i know that it improves the hp, accelleration..blah blah..
BUT is it worth buying?
and
Is the improvement recognisable?
Bro, I agree with cdpascual initial performance gainer would be Intake/Header/Exhaust modifications. If you modifed the Intake plate filter (K&N) then you have to modify your header (use S/S Mandrel bend headers) and an aftermarket exhaust chambered/free-flow muffler ( ex.Tanabe G-Medallion) plus a layer of thermal wrap to ever notice performance. If you can afford a Cold Air Intake that would be better, with all this modifications this would surely void your warranty.
Cheers,
Agree with all the above - it's a bus for #$%& sake. The difference is negligable. Besides, with the dust in Qatar you are better off with the factory fitted filter which is designed for our conditions
it will make a difference if you will change your header, and full exhaust system. it's a landcruiser, why set it up? plus you might get rip off, k&n filters goes for around Qr250.I'm not into 4wd. if you want to set up a car, go for honda or 350Z!!!
First-It will not boost your horspower or acceleration anything considerable-if you where racing and a 1/100th of a second counted then ok. Also, more importantly, as AbuAmerican said-it could void your warranty- check with Toyota first.
