CP3 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm wondering if the car described in the title comes stock with a K&N drop in stock? The one I just picked up has one and we were under the impression the car was stock when we bought it. Not a big deal but I'm wondering if just the filter will cause problems. The car has already gone through a cat (not sure which one) but the dealer is fixing it. And I'm also wondering it I need to get a stock paper filter to avoid future problems. Thanks Also, please excuse the ignorance. I'm new to the turbo world and from what I'm seeing it looks like getting an intake first as opposed to a UP,DP, and CBE (without a tune).

JaeGT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 sounds like you got a used car... so no, k&n drop in filter is 'not' stock. you do not need a tune for a drop in filter, nor a cbe. hope the cat is okay. those animals can be very sneaky on a serious note, sounds like a cat in the DP broke? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP3 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yeah it was a used car with ~20k miles so I'm not too upset. And as I stated the dealer is taking care of the cat. And yeah it's one in the DP. Not sure which though or if it's even related to the filter, which I seriously doubt it is but figured I'd ask.

JaeGT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 you should tell the dealer that gutting the DP will be fixing it for ya... then u can just flash a stage 2 map hope all is well when you get the car back and welcome to the forum!

CP3 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Believe me I've thought about asking them to cut me a check for the repair and I'd use it to fund a new DP hahaha, but I'm guessing they're not gonna go for that. Thanks for the welcome! Forum seems pretty cool so far and has a lot of good answers. Search FTW! Oh yeah since I'm here, am I right when I think I should wait to get a CAI until I get exhaust stuff? From what I've been reading that's the feeling I've been getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeGT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 stock turbo, you dont really need a CAI (benefit of it is slim). people get them just for the 'whoosh' but you'll definately need a tune for the CAI. bigger turbo, you'll benefit from the CAI and of course you'd need a tune. those are the most common replies you'll get from people on the forum.
