OK HERE IT GOES, I have a 2003 Dodge Durango with the 4.7 V8
I was wondering if anyone can tell a difference in anything switching to a K&N drop in filter. Is it worth it at all????

Please any input here will be great,

Love to here you stories about them GOOD OR BAD

Thank you so much

Ram and Durango owner

 

I've seen dyno results on different vehicles with them and they almost all showed a power increase. How much is hard to say, but I've never heard of anyone who said they honestly felt a "kick in the pants" difference with one. I have one on my SRT-4 and it gets about 5 more ponies with it.......not as much as a CAI, but nowhere near as expensive, either.

Just be careful not to over-oil it after you clean it...........

I have a drop in K&N and do not really notice any difference. My MPG are the same, but it does seem to breathe better. I noticed it as soon as I started it up, like it idled smoother. I just like knowing that I never have to buy another air filter. My next project is to make my own CAI, getting rid of the airhat. That, along with the K&N, should help out. My opinion is that it is worth the investment to buy the K&N.

 

Yup, putting that K&N supplied decal on the air filter cover keeps all the oil change folks from trying to sell you an air filter at double the normal retail cost!!!!

THAK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE INPUT, KEEP THEM COMING IF ANY ELSE HAS A FEW CENTS TO ADD

 

I replaced my paper filter for a drop in K&N on my 5.9. I definitely can tell that the engine is breathing alot better. My MPG's improved about 1 mpg, anything is better than nothing. Been using it for the better 40k miles now.

 

I've used them in the past and always had good results. gained about 1 mpg in the dakota I had one in. My wifes Dak also had one. worth it in my opinion. would prefer a cold air setup though... it is the better way to go.
