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:th_question1:,thanks guys
 


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. . .
 


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

Pricey, compared to what? :confused: 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...

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!
