This one was for the FK2. Apparently the fk8 filter is compatible.

Question. Why would you guys put a K&N in your CTR's? I've had them in many cars and they're OK, but they can gunk up the MAF, don't filter well and are a pain to oil.

I've been much happier with the dry type filters from AEM and AFE. No worries about the MAF sensor and you can either just vacuum them out or wash them in soapy water and reuse. They filter better as well. I just don't know if they're available for the CTR yet.

The sound and the throttle response are nice...

I wouldn’t get caught dead running a k&n drop in filter in my CTR, like many have mentioned above,, unnessarry oiling of your intake system and the filter media actually sucks if you watch the speed acedemy tour of k&n, it’s literally 3 layers of the same grade cotton gauze. Nothing special. Dry filters ftw.

So i installed the k&n filter today, i did not feel a difference. My gas millage went down and feel like i actually lost HP or gained any
Might just stick with a paper filter what do you guys think?

I've had mine in for about a year now and it's been great. The car made good power too, both with just the filter and with Flashpro too. Steve
