K&N filter

[Lomo2117]

If i were to remove the stock air intake box and add the MAS adapter and a K&N filter would it help or work negative towards my gas mileage? I kno that if theres too much air flowing then it may throw off the air/fuel ratio and it may run too bad or cause damage

depending on hard you drive, it will decrease gas mileage (a little). I doubt it causes damage unless you drive into a 4 ft puddle :(

disconnect the bettery, wait 5 min and plug back in itll clear everything your car knows, i hate disconnecting my battery becasue it dont like the 8lb flywheel on it, so it stalls out for like a week of driving until it jsut bitch slaps itself and realizes it dont run right

since you don't have forced induction, the car will only take the air that it needs, and as long as your MAS and other electronics are fine, you shouldn't have to worry about that.

So... how do you think that an intake can hurt your mileage? i gotta call you out on that cause i think you are full of shit. (sorry)

I know it was a full of shit statement. But then again why would the OP ask this kind of question. I mean it's just a filter, right? :smt101

your MAS should be fine if its only til 2morrow. just make sure everything else is secure and if you can try to secure it with something, I ran my MAS loose for a little bit and it rubbed on something and the cover started to wear down. i eventually got it secured and its fine.

[Lomo2117]

ok sounds good....just another quick question, when i shut the car off i hear like an exhale of air sounds like its comin from the filter...is this normal??

[skyhigh90210]

yes

air thus fuel. think that one over for a bit

how about YOU think THIS over a bit

dumbass....

dumbass....

you just proved yourself wrong. with a higher flow intake kit, you are flowing more air, thus your ECM is calculating a different fuel curve to compensate for added air flow.

[dknight3]

you are flowing more air.
your not flowing more air.. the air flows easier.


the car will only take the air that it needs
im not sure what you dont understand about this, but im not gunna argue with you about it since you obviously dont know how an engine works..

[proteusx301]

yeah, i probably dont. 'scuse me, i gotta go finish studying for my ASE recertifications.
