K&n Air Filters

[maneesh]

Has anyone ever tried one of these with their Lex? Did it improve power and/or fuel economy as promised by K&N themselves?

Finally, where did you get yours from?

[Jiberjaber]

fastfilters.co.uk seem to be the distributer of choice.

Are you getting one for a '300 or a '200 ?

fastfilters.co.uk

might just be me, but i cant find that website

I have personnaly only heard good things about the k&n for my car, cant be much different for other 1s - the more cold air you can get into the engine the better :)

I bought mine from fleabay.

Linky

It does improve fuel economy. I get more miles to the tankfull than I used to and it does seem to be more responsive too.

Also it will not need changing when the car gets serviced.

:D :D

For the 300.

Is that the IS or the GS ? (from your signature)

[Jiberjaber]

I dont think the IS300 filter will work as Martin tried it out in his, there were problems with cold starts due to the position of the sensor in the intake (iirc).

The new version and old version are shown below:

The new version might work with the GS300, but I think you would need to ask K&N for a definative answer.

I have the basic K+N replacement filter in mine.

What sort of differenc to power and and noise does the type above make.

And if I were to tell insurance co, does it make a big difference tp the premium - has any only actually declared it ??

[Jiberjaber]

Supposed to make about an extra 7 bhp. Noise is great.

It is about another 30 quid or so on the insurance, best to give them a call and ask for a costs on a filter kit <10% bhp gain.

Will do.

Its a no brainer for that price

[maneesh]

It would be for the GS300, and I was looking at a replacement drop-in filter, not an actual intake kit.

You would realy need some sort of heat sheild for those filters, as it just going to suck up hot air from the engine which isnt a good thing! (not really a problem in this weather tho, :)

[Jiberjaber]

There is one on the bottom picture Steve...

prehaps this angle shows it better...

oops yep that'll be it!

ill get me coat

[ColinBarber]

drop in filter, you will be lucky to get an extra 1mpg unless your current filter isn't clean. You will save money on filter replacements but with the slight disadvantage of less filtration.

As Jiberjaber said, the original induction kit for the IS300 doesn't work well on the GS300 (guess who he bought his kit from!), the car would fire up fine but pulling away you'd swear you were trying to tow away the whole street in one go. Don't know about the new kits, but I assume the pipe is the same diameter so would have the same issues.

Haven't bothered with a drop-in filter, kept the standard one (the only modification to my air intake is a HID ballast stuck on the side of it!)

[Mr Morse]

Just out of interest.....and NOT RECOMMENDED:

Removing the air filter entirely from the 2JZ-GE gives and additional 5rwhp
