Real or just hype?

Prototype filter test about 7 minutes into the vid.

Isn't that what they always say?

^^^ yup - every K&N post I've ever seen - I'll wait for Cold Air Inductions, Inc to come out with one..

rcooper

Did they put a little fan in it to force the air in?

Pffft. If it created a little tornado, I might buy it.

Never know. With a tune could be well over 15 hp. Has happened before. Maybe with tune 25 more

VETJAZZ

I doubt it. Just more hype.

jschindler

Yeah, that's it... with a tune. Tell you what. Put a K&N filter in and tune it. Now, take the K&N out and put the stock filter back in with but with the new tune. I'd bet that the tune is going to get within a couple of hp with either filter. A filter itself simply isn't being taxed enough to make much difference. Give it colder air by moving the air intake out of the heat of the engine compartment then you start seeing more of an increase.

It's actually amazing that K&N thinks people are going to believe that dropping one of their oil-soaked air filters in the stock airbox is going to gain "15 and as much as 20 horsepower". Holy crap...

Ok.. Look. New setup and system. Do you really think you know more than aftermarket at this point ? More flow with the new LT1 could mean great gains.

robvuk

Does K & N really have better resources and engineering than GM? Is GM really incapable of designing an intake that could benefit the company by 15 hp and higher MPG? I don't think so.

MikeyTX

And do you really think K&N knows more about the C7 than the engineers that designed it ? No way !

You will probably get a few horsepower increase with the K&N filter because of less flow restriction but you will pay for that few horsepower with the damage you will do to your engine due to lower filtration efficiency allowing more dirt into the engine.

DREAMERAK

Just get yourself one of these and you will be over 500!...........it even comes with a K&N...

If having no filter doesn't even give you 10 bhp, how the hell do they think their filter will give 15-20. And which is it btw 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20? All the engines are identical. GMAFB.

She needs "somepin" to filter her noise hole.

SCM_Crash

K&N numbers are always BS.

I love when people say their car has 20+ HP more than stock because they put on a K&N and a Flowmaster.

C7pimp

Damage to the engine?

Gimme a break.



More hp? Minimal without a tune.


The Coyote 5.0 picks up 30+ whp with an intake and tune
