Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / December 2004K&N filter
Anyone know of the performance increases with a K&N filter on the Mailbu v6 2002? I just installed one and am curious to know the real world performance levels. Thanks. None. You'd need forced induction to see any sort of benefits. I'd put the paper filter back on... wiht a K&N when you "recharge" it, some of the oil may find its way into your air intake & fudge things up. Not worth it, IMO. I've got a 4.6L V8 & notice no difference. Now on a forced induction car (supercharged/turbocharged).. you may get a few HP. All of the "hp increase" and "fuel mileage increase" is just marketing hype. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors > Anyone know of the performance increases with a K&N filter on the Mailbu v6 > 2002?

Put it on a dyno or on the quarter mile like you said in your other response and you may see a 100th of a second decrease in time. Old school thinking is sometimes best. And exactly how often are you going to take your Malibu to the drag strip?
