hi guys im new,sorry if im not in the good section but my question is that i want to put a K&N filter in my 99 gtp and i want to know if it is real that is bad for the engine to put an air filter without chip computer or special eletronical adjusts,thanks guys
12-09-2009
it'll be fine. but don't run a k&n.. get ahold of 01gtp for a nice filter
12-09-2009
your question is very vague. but are your referring to a drop in air filter or a cone filter? and then answer is no u don't have to modify or use any chip to instal a filter. . .
12-09-2009
I can get dropins and cone filters from amsoil for ya. I prefer them over K&N because they are dry flow.

All the advice I can give you...

You can change out the filter or put on a cold air intake without having to make any adjustments, your MAF sensor takes care of that.
Also, I wouldn’t give any credence to the K&N haters. I have used their filters for 15+ years and never had a problem, although Amsoil filters are just as good.

K&N's just suck cause your without a filter for a whole freakin day to clean it, thats whats nice with the Amsoil. There also pretty damn pricey for what ya get

No ones hating here...just giving their personal preference.

Pricey, compared to what?One reason I personally use them is they are nearly free over the life of the vehicle. My last car I ran it six years and put on over 80k, and it never needed to be re-oiled. I figure that I saved about $50 instead of using paper filters over the life of my last GP. In my experience with them, they can go about 100k until they need re-oiling. IIRC K&N recommends re-oiling between 50k and 100k, depending on usage. So basically cleaning your filter once about every 5 years sucks?

It does...when you can buy a cone filter...bolt it on and be done. Spectre filter from Auto Zone...BEST Filter I have ever owned...I've owned everything but a Amsoil filter...AEM, K&N, FRAM, Edelbrock, you name it...I had it on something...

thanks guys for your answers,to be more clear i talk to put one like this one 99-03 00 01 02 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8L V6 K&N FIPK II Intake System Octane Motorsports ive heard that instead of add horsepower to the engine it reduce it, and that is bad for the engine, but what you said guys is that there no problem when we put an air filter? thx
stock red sedan gtp 99 79k

if your looking for smothing like that just do a 4 inch fender well intake you can find i post on here that will tell u what you need and how to do it
12-10-2009
and i did mine for $40.00

pricey compared to other filters in the same class, and to not clean your filter for 5 years!!?? Where do you live! We have dust and dirt around here and it happens to get caught in your filter, and you still need to clean it every 25-35k whether it looks dirty or not. I have a BBK setup on my S-10, and an AEM Brute Force on my Jeep, and ANY dry flow its MUCH nicer when it does come that time, and they almost ALWAYS are cheaper then a K&N, again this is a personal preference thing, i'm not jabbing jokes at your wife or something here so calm down killer!Pricey, compared to what?
12-10-2009
thx,ill check for that
