For a while now I've been considering changing the OEM air filter setup with a K&N filter kit. In most other cars (including others I've owned), I have indeed felt increased power and gotten better fuel mileage after installing a K&N filter, and I was wondering if anyone on here has done that and if so, what have the results been?
I guess even though my past experience tells me it could at least give a little more power without changing fuel mileage much, I'm wary because I wonder just how much Honda has maximized the engine breathing already and if I would just be wasting money for negligble gains in either area (mileage or power). In my other cars the K&N way has been a really cheap way to get a few hp and a couple mpg for little money (actually it might save some money in the long haul because you don't have to buy any more air filters, you just clean the filter from time to time).
Any insights (hehee, some amount of pun intended
) that y'all might have would be appreciated!
