I'm just wondering, has anyone tried changing their stock air filter in their FD1 or 2 with a K&N one?
Does it make a difference?
Looking to achieve better fuel economy.
K&N's purpose is to provide better flow over a longer period compared with a stock filter. You can read all about it on their website or read about it on tuning books like 'Performance with economy" by David Vizard.
There's some degradation of filter particle size capacity but I've not found or experienced any engine wear as a result.
Another thing is the intake sound is slightly louder allowing you to enjoy the VTEC sound if thats your thing
With K&N filters, given that their life expectancy is longer than most other paper, etc filters, and with the price difference relatively marginal, I'd say it would be a worthwhile investment if you're planning to keep your car for a while.
Fuel economy would be a bonus, though I daresay it may help if it breathes in cleaner air? Shop around, as prices may differ...good luck!
