Air filter & air intake

Post by DeeP » Mon Aug 31, 2009 3:25 pm

hi bros, im confused between air fitlers and air intakes. is it to make the rpm more responsive? but whats the difference between the two.

by installing it, will it somehow affect the FC? how about performance wise? thx for sharing :)

air filter is part of an air intake system.

upgrading to an aftermarket air intake generally improves FC and performance, but by very small amount. you can't really tell the difference in power unless you do a dyno.
Treat a car like a human. It needs healthy diet, care and grooming, and most importantly, exercise.

bro means air filter is classified under air intake?

air filter is a just 1 part of the air intake system.

like harddisk is just a component in a computer.

direct replacement of air intake to aftermarket does not improve fc or performance.
just a saving cost factor laa, no need change any air filter even after 100000km or so on, something like that..... imho

cone type air filter where loud vroom vroom bassy sound can be heard must change the stock air intake to fit in this cone thing la, does not improve fc cause when whack hard, jialat the fc. suitable for manual car. auto oso can la but low end die. imho

how still ok bo? :P
