K&N Cone filters

[Pedro]

those of you with the K&N cone filters, how did you get them on and what filter is it? i know rustys sells that airtube thing (like so) but i dont wanna have to buy it if i dont have to.

on my cherokee when i had one i just had a piece of chrome intake tube from autozone and stuck it on the stock intake then let it sit in the open airbox.

intakes are supposed to increase gas milage but i never notice it if they do cuz im always gunning it to hear how it sounds,

I made one for $12.00

Get a piece of exhaust pipe that is the right diameter to fit the stock air tube and the cone filter. Then weld or bolt a support to it to hold it up and add one or two vac line fittings depending on the year.

where did you get it and what size/model number cone do you have??

[rckrdyxj]

Get a 6x9 generic K&N cone with a 3" id. then get a small section of pipe that is 3"od on one end and if not 3"od for the other end get whatever size is required to fit inside the stock air tube. I got my pipe from an exhaust/tuner shop. I get my cones from this site. About half the cost of other places.

This should be ideal for you. Its a generic size but its what i used on my old jeep. My new jeep has one that is from a WJ K&N FIPK kit and i got ti free but i am unsure of the details.

Great website, can get full kits or universal cones or stock replacements.

Actually now that i think of it, i am getting a stock air box this weekend cause i want to put an air flow snorkel on my jeep in a month or so. If your interested i can sell you my cone and air tube. Its obviously used and the cone is a bit bigger than the one i listed above but it works great. The only issue with mine is that end of the pipe is 1/4" smaller than the stock air tube so i had to use an adapter to bring the pipe diameter up a bit. $50 shipped. Just needs paint.

Warning about doing this though, it does make a pretty loud whistle noise when at high rpms, when the filter is clean.

alright i will definitely let you know. i have a K&N cleaning kit so i dont care if its dirty and i can always spray paint it

[rckrdyxj]

Its pretty clean now, i just cleaned it a month ago. If i can grab an air box this weekend then i can get it out next week if you want it.

hot air intake FTL

i ran a k&n drop in (and kept it cleaned and oiled) for not even a year. i popped my tube going to my TB and saw it was covered in dirt. switched back to the paper and put the k&n in my stepdad's road going XJ

ive run a k&n cone filter for 4 years with 0 ill effects. no real gain either...i just have it so i can just clean and re use

i only post my eggspeareance

[rckrdyxj]

You only post FAIL...

[Pedro]

well we'll see. maybe ill just save the money for something else

[CumminsJeep]

or just leave it? you barely gain power or mileage from these things. unless you get it for 12 dollars like he did

[KtmRacer419]

i use a sick $4 filter from autozone, keeps mah engine mint n stuff, and i don't gotta clean it, i just buy a new $4 filter

it would take me like a million filters to justify the cost of a k&n hot air intake straw
