i just bought 1 for my 97 f150 will it make a differance in anything

 

just a little better air flow, and maybe mpg increase. but nothing noticeable. if you want to get something out of it. get a whole CAI

 

well thats really all i want i bought a drop in filter on ebay for $20 how could i go wrong and i didnt feel like paying a $150 bucks more for the whole thing when the truck comes stock with one not very good but at least it has one

 

dont get me wrong. they are good, and you paid a great price for it. but you probably wont gain anything from it. at least i didnt. i bought an AF1 about a month ago, it makes a huge difference

 

Don't know how much this helps you, but these are the results I got from a K&N drop in filter on my sister's 1999 V6 Mustang. She just got it used at 100k miles (don't know if this matters at all.)

The times were gotten from my GT1 Timer. Hope this helps

this may be a dumb question, but how'd your 1/4 go down when the top speed is less?

 

Yea, I was wondering the same thing when I first saw the results. I'll check the videos again.

Yep, that's what the thing said.

 

If you look at the times....his holeshot was better. He got a better start.....I've drag raced atv's for several years and your good times come with a great start.

As for the drop in K&N.....if you don't want to spend the $$ on a full system then the drop in is a good deal. If nothing else you'll save some cash in fuel mileage and never having to buy another oem filter.

 

Thanks for clearing it up

 

I'll send you my k&n when i put on my AF1 that i ordered from troyers. Should be here Monday
