Looks nice but not sure it is worth the money.

No biggie. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know about the filtration on oiled filters. I’ve been seeing this on car forums since the early 2000’s and plenty of new car people coming here to find answers. I’ve seen more than a few people buy these CAI kits and be upset they didn’t gain 20hp like they said. I do t know what these costs but the last time I checked a kit it was $365. A lot of money for asthetics that’s only seen at car shows. However, there is a market for them or they wouldn’t make them and it does make the engine bay look nicer most of the time.lol, I thought I had deleted that response as I was interrupted when I was typing it so I deleted it, so I thought, and was going to respond later. So the point that I was getting at is that every time new intakes or other products are released, there are posts such as the filters don’t filter as well or warranty is being voided, etc. I understand that the filters don’t filter as well…I’ve seen the tests. So have most….if a person doesn’t understand that, they may want to research what they are changing before they buy. The likelihood of the filter causing premature damage before most people rid themselves of the current vehicle is very low. If you plan to do 400,000 miles plus on these cars, you are much more likely to experience another unrelated failure before these filters cause it.
I personally think it looks decent under the hood but the cost versus performance/looks doesn’t work for me but I still support that companies are releasing items. With so much talk of how slow the market is progressing with products specifically for the S650, it’s nice to see items being released. If folks choose not to buy, that’s on them for their own reasons. However, nitpicking about something that is already known about a oiled high flow air filter is just redundant.
Exactly....Hope steeda dyno tests them for us!!!!
for the money though I want Titanium and pie cuts![]()
It is a safe bet...Have you confirmed this K&N?
Where? Looks like pep boys junk with those comically useless "Heat shields".Looks nice but not sure it is worth the money.
Warranty is usually more of an issue with the tune required intakes, i.e. larger maf/map tube which requires adjustment via tuning. Unfortunately those are also the intakes that show the most gains usually...along with a tune. And unless K&N adds a carbon trap to this intake, it is likely to remain "Not for sale or use" in California.Yes, I saw that. However, what will Ford say?
Probably the best looking K&N kit I've seen. They usually go with plastic where they can. Looks great!I decided to go and install the K&N cold air intake on my 2024 GT Premium and it looks pretty good I think!

What's the intake noise level in comparison to stock?I decided to go and install the K&N cold air intake on my 2024 GT Premium and it looks pretty good I think!

Same here. I'd gladly get it if it actually gets the power increases it claims.Still waiting to see independent dyno /dragy/ track test metrics.
looks real good![]()
