n0cturne74 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I was planning on going with a K&N Filter for my 95XE, but came across this listed on AC. Has anyone tried one of these things? And if so what is the general consensus? It boasts a 5 HP increase, and the K&N only boasted 2HP. Description and pic from their website below... Air Intake Upgrade Cone air filter replaces the complete stock air filter box. Designed to feed the maximum amount of air possible to the engine. 5 HP increase. Air filter included. Price - $119.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 The "5 HP Increase" is a complete estimate. The amount of power you get out of installing one of those depends greatly on the overall condition of the engine in the first place. If you put a cone filter on a 90 HP 4-cylinder with old spark plugs and a dirty carburetor, don't expect 5 HP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepRescueService14 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 dude.. this is a 4x4 beast not a quarter mile monster... you want cold air? install a snorkel.. point it into the wind. plenty of cold air, ram air and even a nifty bug catcher.. as for the k&n.. why not..

statikuz Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah, if its dangerous when a bird gets sucked into a plane engine, I can only wonder what it's going to do to your V6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statikuz Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 That's excellent. Yep, you could, but I think those feathers might cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
