Bob, just finished my spark plug change out and installed of the K&N air filter. Took a test drive and WOW what a frigging difference. Would have never thought an air filter would cure my "heavy" accelerator pedal problem but it DID!! That heavy pedal problem was really bugging me and now it's done. I'm ready for my track day. 1000 thank yous Bob. Plus my wife loves her new interior and running board lights. Now she need sunglasses to open up the car at night. BAMB!!!!!

If you remove the top airbox cover, there is a heavy duty screen that can be removed. Removing it will net performance benefits. Since this truck is sold worldwide and in some harsh climates, they design the airbox to handle say the Sahara desert. So if you are in normal conditions, you don't need the screen. If you are going off-road or in a dusty, dirty place, just pop the stock air filter back in, without the extra screen. Engineering Explained describes it as a piece of emissions equipment, it traps the hydrocarbons after shutting off the engine. It obviously works for both air entering the engine and leaving the engine, which is why I gave my Sahara desert explanation. I will say, if you off-road, live in a dusty, dirty environment, I would not use a K&N filter. Removing the charcoal filter will grant the largest difference. Also the foam piece on the bottom of the stock filter is usually designed for snow. So if you don't see snow, you can rip it off. He concludes that removing the charcoal filter and adding a K&N granted around 4% better hp/tq and 4% faster installation. However, he concludes that you can't feel the difference after calculating change in g-force, so it isn't worth it. He claims that throttle response will be the same, which I completely disagree with. He also fails to mention improvements to MPG, which there will be if your driving habit is the same.

@@GXBOB absolutely! Engineering Explained did a very in-depth video with a Subaru Crosstrek on a similar topic. Granted that engine is a 2.0l four cylinder, vs 4.6l V8. So we should see a larger difference simply due to higher displacement (i.e. Volume). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJd6oLJ8sKfLqYU.html

@@joshtumblin5893 Thanks so much, Josh. I just finished watching it. I like how K&N outperformed all the other filters when it came to acceleration and performance but failed in blocking micro particles vs others half the price. I think I'm going to hang on to the K&N due to my type of driving environment. I strictly take my car out on the weekends to mostly the beach and the mall. If i were to do some desert or backcountry driving, i most definitely will consider WIX which was an overall winner. You did have me thinking for a minute though but the acceleration I've been having is just to awesome to give up right now. Hopefully, other viewers are watching and can determine for themselves. Again, thank you.

Are you referring to a cold air intake system that gets rid of the intake box completely? Those are pretty expensive and they allow the filter to be exposed to a hot engine compartment. I prefer to keep it within the air box unless you reroute the entire thing to your lower front grille. But remember, this is a luxury suv and not a rice rocket honda civic. Lets be classy.

Very well documented over the years. Yes it is washable/re-oil and re-useable. They DO NOT filter as well as the OE filter. They flow more air but your motor is dialed in and works just fine. As for the BUTT Dyno vs actual Dyno. Real Dyno will show "Zero" increase in HP. Sorry but the facts and Physics are what they are. Oh and see the Pre-filter on the OE filter? Where is it on the K&N. Careful what you put your backing on.
