Not sure I want to waste $350. Thanks
$350?!!!! Not sure where you got that from? K&N`s go for around $50. You`ll never have to buy another. I have had a K&N kit on my V-10 X for 10 years and 80k miles and have no issues. really helps the engine breather in the mountains at higher RPM.
I also run K&N`s in all my other vehicles. Never an issue.
Increased air flow is only helpful at wide open throttle, during part throttle operation nothing has changed. If I had a truck that required full throttle to tow a trailer, I would rethink my choice of truck and not resort to band-aid fixes that will allow more dirt into the engine. I consider the use of oiled foam filters a total waste of money and a harmful product.
Just about any truck gas or diesel will see WOT in the mountains. So trying to say a truck is underpowered if it runs at WOT is ridiculous. And in 35 years of using K&N’s I’ve yet to have an issue as well as thousands of others. It’s not a “band aid” fix, rather a well thought out product! I consider throwing away $20 a year on filters a waste of money!
