iwasneveroriginal Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I know this is child's play for most of you guys, but yesterday I installed my first modification - a drop in K & N filter. The low end throttle response is insane. I've had to adjust my driving style just so I'm not squealing my tires every time I'm turning right or left from a stop. I can get into boost almost instantly from any speed. I feel like I've gone from having a spirited grocery getter to a powerful car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTLEGACY007 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 What you need, and i'm completely serious here, is some stickers! Those will really beef up the performance. Ok, not so serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted September 24, 2010 Mega Users Share Posted September 24, 2010 Maybe if you went from a clogged paper filter to a K&N. I just did the same thing. I went from a perfectly clean paper filter to a dry synthetic filter. I got a bit more engine growl and turbo noise (what I wanted) and possibly some more throttle response. The truth is that I didn't notice more power, I just heard the waste gate dumping air and I can pretend that I have a big turbo supra for about 2 seconds. On my last car, I noticed a big difference between the paper filter and a cotton one, but it was a NA mini cooper. 5hp extra on a 90hp engine is considerably more noticeable than a similar gain on a 250hp engine. My subi just sounds faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
