Thread: Cone filters

(without touching the sensor inside the box)

I wouldn't get the K&N system, too expensive and does not isolate the filter from the underhood temps.

Aye I would agree with Lee on this one. Its not a TRUE CAI system. Its just basically a heatshield and nothing more. The filter is still vulnerable to engine bay's heat. At least the WizAir and lesser the Thrasher would be keep things cooler in the longer and might cost a bit more, but its so much more worth it!!

The reason why I said "lesser the Thrasher" is because Reptile did a check of my air intake temp with my Thrasher CAI unit that was recovered with reflective heat wrapping and the temps were still way to high even for what the stock air box does. Thus the WizAir would be the wiser choice.

Just my 2c on that topic
