ive been doin research all nite on this ....and it seems that people are mixed on this mod......im not looking for performance...i just realy like the look of the k&n.....my question is , which i didnt seem to find in the search function is: i have the slp CAI and an ultra z hood......if i decided to buy the k&N kit do i leave the slp CAI on my car?........and how exactly does the K&N work.....I.E how does it get the air? thanx guys


oh yeah ....i know that the slp lid comes off......im talkin about the scoop in front of the radiator, ...........

 

If you already have a SLP Lid, why waste your money on a K&N?

How about put that money toward another part that you don't already have?

 

well kris 93 thank u sooo much for that insight........you saved me soooo much money .....how can i thank you enough?......

does anyone else want to try and answer my actual questions instead of being my financial advisor?

 

The scoop it doesn't matter, you can leave it in or take it out.

The other stuff yeah, the k&n goes through the factory tubing after(edited) the MAF.

K&N air sucks the air from right in front of your dr. side wheel. If you look underneath your car there is a triangular (kinda) plastic peice, take that off and that's where it goes.

Did I miss anything?

thank you very much.......very helpful ...i appreciate it

 

Do you have this????




And want to go to this????

 

The FIPK has a sheet metal base. Its the big flat black piece under the filter in the picture above and it takes place of the entire lower airbox assembly. You will not be able to use your chin breathing CAI for this unless you want to cut up the base. This may cause problem because the FIPK base will be slightly higher than the stock lower airbox so the CAI may no longer fit. IMO, with the UltraZ hood you won't see a benefit from the SLP CAI and the FIPK. You might as well sell it & your lid to fund the FIPK.

As for performance there is nothing to debate. I went from an aftermarket lid to the FIPKII (only because it didn't cost me anything and I like the looks too.) and there is no performance diference. If you want it for looks, then go for it. Volant also has a nice looking set up, but I'm not sure it would be shaped right for your hood.

 

thanx guys.......im not looking for any performance gains.....i realy like the looks of the FIPK thats all!

 

I like the looks too. Thats why I have one.

To answer the last of your question, how does the K&N get air? I take it you mean fresh air. You have an UltraZ. It'll get fresh air coming in from the opening.

On cars w/out this option, it uses the engine bay air the same as the stock intake set up. There is a larger surface area which makes it easier.
