Sorry to say my Dyno results showed about a 3 to 5 HP loss with the Monster Flow over the stock filter and about 7 to 10 HP loss to a KKM.

As a result I read up on filters and found the suface area with foam filters typically has to be much larger to equal cotton/paper filter because foam is more restrictive.





SO with your kkm you gained 3 to 5 hp to the wheels?




not very likely...



Yeap at the Wheel, don't have copies of the Dyno run any longer in that this was done maybe 5 years ago.

If you do a search on this forum there was a guy who posted back to back dyno results for NO filter, Stock Filter and KKM and he showed a 7 HP gain with KKM at the wheel. Most dyno's can have error in the 3 HP range so it's still a good 5 HP gain, which is what I found in my on dyno runs.

Cheapest HP upgrade, Remove the filter, may kill the engine, but then again its cheap.




maybe you should search again...kkm's reverse cone has shown to lose power on a duretec...any inverse cone filter is a bad choice for a duratec....also several people including demon had the kkm filter implode on high rpm runs,causing a major hp loss....i chunked that junk filter and used an ru 3530 on my old svt and it pulled alot harder,sounded better,and generally ran better with the k&n...the ONLY part of the kkm intake that is any good is the maf adapter...
