Hi Kuya thank you for saving my cars life. I almost went ahead and purchased a fake K&N air intake kit online, I did not know it was fake up until I came across this video and saw the difference. Next month in March 2022 I’ll be heading back to Philippines, there is so much I want to do on my car. I will sure bring my car around by your shop. Thank you for saving my cars life.

The original products always become more cheaper than the fake ones on the long run Always buy the original and have no worries...Subscribed!!! Great video!!!!

Just got a fake K&N drop in filter from Ali today. Hence why I found this video.
It looks just right, but upon closer inspection the filter material is NOT woven fibres like the original, but rather just a paper filter material died red to look like it’s oiled woven fabric.
This fake filter obviously filters better, but is a lot more restrictive, and even more restrictive than the original filter which has the same sort of material, but many more slats and therefore effectively bigger surface area than the fake K&N.

I purchased a fake one to supplement my original. So when I wash my filter and need to run to the store or somewhere quick, I will have some sort of backup .Also when drying the filter overnight I can pop this on to keep out rodents etc. Not smart to use daily but its just enough

Been using them for over 20 years on my cars/trucks shit, even had KnN on my carburated 84 mustang 5.0 stickshift w/old-school crock pot looking intakes, circled filter!!!upped me 11hp!!!+increased my fuel economy👍I stand by thier product!30-50k use cleaner and let it dry for a day or 2, and spray lightly w/filter oil before putting it back on don't overdo
It!!!also spray ur MAF sensor w/ MAF cleaner spray as well cuz the oils from filter can throw off readings after said amount of time I mentioned above 👍🇺🇲

Was considering buying a Spectre CAÍ, heard they were good n cheap but might just wait n get the k&n after watching this haha

[baddrivercam]

I ordered mine straight from k&n. So i think i have the real thing.

K&N Sells "Dry" and "Oil" type filters. But they do not cross list on their website, nor provide any special codes (that I can find or figure out) that lets buyers/users know WHICH they have, oiled or dry. Makes it very frustrating to buy K&N, makes it MUCH less worth the premium price. The fact that there are so many knock-offs dissuades even further.
