jasol Member 571 Member For: 16y 5m 15d Location: adelaide Posted 30/11/13 11:28 AM Share Posted 30/11/13 11:28 AM Hey guys. I've been told the k&n filters don't really flow much more than a ford one. Is the k&n panel filter needed for around 300kw?

And they flow sh*t loads more... At a cost of course(hence the oil) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86927-kn-filter-really-needed/#findComment-1443225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars will flow fine with an OEM filter unless there pretty heavily modified Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86927-kn-filter-really-needed/#findComment-1444029 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woulda thought so. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86927-kn-filter-really-needed/#findComment-1444149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
