Default Just installed my Green filters...

Not expecting as much(figured like 1-2hp and mostly just midrange torque increase of like 5-7lbs) as I thought from putting them in... I figure now like just 0hp and 1-2lbs more of torque.


Seems previous owner had put in K&N filters in the car (those are not OEM are they?!?). The Greens are less restrictive then the K&N ones and not as thick either. Just took and breathed really quick and deep through both and was easier with the Greens.


Anyone want to buy some slightly used K&N filters?

K&N's are not stock, I have the Green filters here and they are great.
