K&N filters
will throwing in a K&N air filter help alot?
|
Help in what way? They generally don't filter as well as a paper filter, but do add a couple of HP. They are also washable, which means you buy them once and re-use them. In the long term, this saves money over buying paper filters.
|
so by them not filtering as welll as regular paper filters, does that mean that more crap will go into the engine and jack it up?
|
There's debate... Google it.

I tried a K&N air filter in my 2008 Sonata I4 engine, I found slightly better throttle action but the gas mileage dropped by about 1 mpg. I am back to using the paper filter now. |
You cannot pass more air without passing more dirt, and dirt is lethal to engines. If the engine failed and Hyundai found evidence of a K&N being installed, do you think they would honor the warranty? |
it you install it sideways, they might have an issue with your warranty.
|
If you have more surface area, you can filter BETTER and still pass more air.
