K&n Air Filter

[mromecin]

Any good? Seen one on eBay for me Yaris 1.3 T3 and i was just wondering what people think of performance air filters and K&N specifically?

[Baby Yari]

Just a replacement element mate, not bad but don't expect huge results!! K & N, can't really go wrong with them really, even if it does you've got a million mile warrenty with them!!!!

K&N Typhhon Induction kit is amazing! Relocates to best place possible and you get a really good sound!

**** compared to Apexi :P

[Yaris SR Kid]

Bring it :P Typhoon relocates to better place and everyone knows that!

True but K&N is a wet filter therefore more likely to mess up the MAF sensor.

Apexi is a Jap Dry filter maintenence free

And sounds

+ it can easily be relocated

[Yaris SR Kid]

Very true each has there own PLus points!

[clarky]

Envy system relocates to the same place - but uses a dry filter like the apexi

[Yaris SR Kid]

Didnt even no they did a filter, that definally sounds best option then!

[Beeples]

What does the induction kit actually do...and what's the difference between wet and dry systems?

[Yaris SR Kid]

Induction kit gives greater throttle response and slight increase in power and most of them sound amazing :P

Dry filter doesnt need oiling but wet filter does, the oil from wet filter can get onto the MAF sensor and mess it up.

better replac with a trd one or leave the factory standard. using cone filters sometimes will give problems to the maf sensor as i had on my vitz

[Woody27]

Loads on here with cone filter without problems Depends on quality, type of filter and whether it is well maintained!

I have a KN replacement filter in my 1.3 (2003).

The car sounds better, as well as the response of the engine in every revs!! Specially past 4000rpm, its much better :D

Check my video

I have some more videos with no KN filter but with less quality! Just another thing, the car doesn't sound as good as in the video! Its less 'agressive'!! ;)

[Yaris SR Kid]

lol thats what i like to hear a VVTI go :P

[Adam-mc Yarris]

K & N panel filters any good on a 1.0l Yaris. wont effect my £800 fully comp insurence will it?

[Yaris SR Kid]

Definally not mate!

[Adam-mc Yarris]

I take it you weren't on the public highway doing 96mph

Doesn't sound much differant to my standard 1.0 T3, are there any actual benefits to fitting one to a 1.0 or would it be a waste of time and money ?

k and n panel sound a tad better, release another horse or two and give a few more miles per! only buy once so work out cheaper in the long run then stock. make sure you get the right one though, should NOT need any trimming. if it does, they gave you the wrong one. swap it!

I filmed that in my private track B)

Even if you have actually no gains in power by fitting the filter (witch is possible) you still have a low-cost mantain filter for the cars life ;)

Hey all, i actually got one. Had it a few weeks now. Not bad really, notice it more around 4000RPM, throttle a bit more responsive. Just looking to get a better CAF, not to keen on induction kits tho. All that agressive sound and its just me in my Yaris (not a Porshe) can't be good! Phrase comes to mind 'Bark bigger than your bite!'
