Time to make a decision and would like your opinions...

Which provides more power, K&N FIPKor the Mopar 14x3 flter system?

 

The Moparkitis12.75x2.75" from what I understand. Silver can give exact dimensions when he chimes in.
You can get a K&N kit (believe for a Bonneville) that has the 1/2" drop base with crank vent breather tube and a true 14x3" filter (Pt#1650)

The K&N kit will give better air flow and hp.

 

K&N all the way. Hell its gives the 3.5l magnum 12hp..

 

3.9? i wasnt aware of a 3.5 unless your talking about the Chrysler LHS motor..?

 

meant the 3.9....

 

Well I live in Fl ( Hot as hell in summer), the 14X3 may work good 4 some but I would bet it would be terrible for any truck in the summertime, Ill stick with my K&N lots more power and I love it.

 

I went from a K&N FIPK to the Mopar 12.75x2.75, and the Mopar performs better in my opinion. I have no dyno or track results to back it up, but I don't plan to ever go back to my FIPK unless I need it in the hot summer months.

 

nate, do you have the fipk? i hated mine, my filter always fell off so i tossed it in the bin, runnin factory airbox now

 

12 hp!?!? No offense, but thats a total load of crap. I'd need to see dyo results to prove it. Especially on a V6. Magazines say one thing, but actual performance is another.

I just installed the mopar performance round filter. 80 bucks shipped from Summit, got it in 3 days. Just installed it today, you have to get a separate breather(the one I got was 10 bucks), for the valve cover, to replace the rubber hose, and bend the straight bolt they give you into an "s" bolt, but that wasn't too hard, and you need to cut it down to size as well. Its not too difficult, and makes a big difference in the sound, but not a whole lot performance wise. However, with something as simple and little as that, you really aren't going to notice a big difference. IMO its not worth spending the 200 bucks for the FIPK from K&N. Hell, for 30 bucks you can get a round filter off ebay. It'd be a much better bang for the buck mod. Don't believe what the magazines tell you.
