K&N intake for the 1.5L Turbo (performance results)

I contacted afe and they said their oiled filter flows 5% better than their dry filter; however, the dry filter filters 1% better.

Dry is mostly for convenience and so you don't have to worry about over oiling. But the 5R definitely flows better.

Sorry, a noob question but what happens if we switch out the air filter and if I'm on a 1.5L can I get 2.0L air filters?

Got my drop in filter today. Smallest filter I have ever seen. Not much bigger than a post card.

Just installed the afe dry filter and took it for a spin. I would say throttle response is a bit better. Slightly peppier, but not a big difference as expected. Noise about the same.

That's what I got also CEXT. And my boost change with a little more launch feeling at the end of sec boost. I didn't have that with stock filter. Honda charge $25.00 and some change for there filters. Good gas mileage 2x25=$50.00 year, or one $25.00 filter per year depending on where you live. No $50.88 for life for me.

Kind of a dead thread. But anyone know where you can buy that K&N SRI that was in the first original post? i think it's by far the best looking SRI for this car i've seen so far. The metal ones all look cheaply made.

True. OP you made 9hp with the hood open and probably a fan blowing air on the engine. Close the hood and I bet you would have only gained around 3.5-4hp.

We tried this on a hemi Ram a few years back... hood open a "CAI"gained 13hp, hood closed by the 3rd run it was only making 6.2whp over stock.

Omgosh don't even get me started on the Dyno sheet,, so much wrong with it. Explain the tcf (sae 1.02 vs 1.03) difference between stock and k&n installed and then it revs to 6700 for peek hp? Pretty sure the limiter is 6500.. smh k&n, not impressed with they're products OR manufacture process, lol 4 layers of gauze for the filter and that's all they use. Is 2017, there are better ways.. just buy a $30 spectre filter,, (5:01 of video) SAME THING, the truth hurts sometimes..

I mean, I already have a flashpro and got the intake for free, so whatever. lol

Im not sure i understand ur logic.. Why would you buy a 2.0L filter and ask this.. Instead of just buying the 1.5L filter?. Do you think the 2.0L filter is gonna filter better? Our 1.5L need alot more air then the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine..
