Do high flow air filters like K&N's make much of a difference on computer controlled engines? Or does the computer compensate for the increased airflow and restrict the flow to make it what the computer thinks it should be?
Are you talking about cone or drop in K&N filters? The drop ins may or may not produce any major HP gains. The cone filters if extended to just behind the grill can get you, perhaps, another 3 to 5 HP, the trick is to get the filter out of the engine compartment and away from all of that heat.
I had the AEM V2 cold air intake on my Honda Civic, yes a civic, but it did give more hp than most people say, 15 on the dyno and a car that beat me the first race lost after I got the intake. Im not 100% sure but I think AEM uses K&N filters. I was glad I spent the $300 dollars on the intake juss to kno I had the best.
