Well if it gets dirty you'd be losing more hp then the ram air is gaining you. To recharge the filter you have to spray it with cleaner let that soak in rinse it wait hours for it to dry and then apply the oil. They strongly urge not to use a blow dryer or anything like that to dry it off. The oil is what gives the filter it's color, I used a k&n filter charger kit on my holley power shot and now I have a red holley filter.

 

okay, here we go again... do the FRA, I have it done on my 00 T/A and all my friends have it done on their LS1's. It will make a difference, from 40 and above there is a big difference. if you want you can seal the front portion of the lower box. If you are worried about hydrolocking the motor, dont drive through deep puddles. I live in Florida, and it can rain for 3 seconds and we have an inch of rain... I have never had a problem... but dont go 30mph through standing water either.

 

as for free mods... go to the above listed sites. if you have a A4, dont not mess w/ the MAF.

I have a few free mods:

FRA
TB-Bypass
!Spare/Jack

 

I did the egr cutoff mod, tb bypass, removed spare & jack, boxed my LCA's and Panhard bar, !security lug nuts umm thats about it.

Just curious here but who ever thought that by putting ! before a part ment it was removed?

 

i have no clue...up until a couple of months ago i had no clue what it even meant till i posted a question about it

From my programming, days I can recall using "!" to indicate negation, as in

if !(x=3) then print "x is not equal to 3."

 

in programming the ! is used to symoblize the word NOT. as in AND, OR, NOT. (at least in J++ it does)

Well , i have yet to do any free mods , I took the filter out and it was black , there was leafy things and a small stem in the MAF sensor screen . Im almost afraid to descreen it now seeing what it caught ! I had to rinse out the induction below the filter " it was clogged up a lil " w/a hose . Put in a K&N charged filter and im thinking of running it saturday before i do free mods ....Its hauling major arsh

 

I have done all the free mods and my advicce to you is don't waste your time. Save up some money and get headers and CAI. Something that really counts. The FRA mod sucks. Like everyone said you have to change your filter constantly. Especially if you live in TExas.

 

I've used K&N filter for awhile with the cut out and I definitely get a better throttle response, but - the amount of gunk that accumulated on the walls of the throttle body scare me. God only knows what the inside of the intake manifold looks like! What's the best way to clean this? I took the TB off and cleaned it but how do I clean the inside of the manifold and everything else filthy?

 

Who remember the catalytic simulators or resistance that i put in the harness where the back o2 sensors go. To turn off the check engine light?

 

Are you looking for help with O2 simms, or is this just a Trivia check in a 12 year old thread?
