To K&N or not to ?

On previous cars I have used the dry flow filter and worked well. I am skeptical to use a oil filter because of the issue of more dirt being let in. What is your guys take on the oil drop in filters?

Just use the high flow green filter.... Green Filter 7158 Filter Ford Fiesta 2008-2011 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DDTNTG2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_L1j6wbRYKT8QA

Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on any drop in filter. They aren't doing much. I'd put that money away and save up for something more useful. Just my .02

If you need a drop in, k&n or green are good

If you utilize a high flow air filter and a velossatech snorkel it does silly...they have some info in the snorkel thread. It's worth it vs. "CAI" when you think about it.

I don't think that has been substantiated by any third parties, lol.

Some call them rock catchers referring to their filtration qualities fwiw.

So your saying a a judge with a Ram air hood setup didn't produce anymore power than a one without ram air setup on it? But hey it must not have been substantiated by no third parties right so it didn't work....

I guess a Judge with a Ram air hood was also using a torque-based tune, huh?

Nevermind, you won't understand. Every FoST owner that I know who has a snorkel installed has said there's no gain but they like the looks. I would explain why my car comparison is valid and yours isn't but I already inadvertently did.

Where can I buy a Ran air hood is that some type of knock off brand that could be used on my FiST ? What's the website ?

So yeah, get familiar with torque-based tuning because that will help you significantly more on this platform than being pedantic about a typo.

There's actually nothing wrong with being a perfectionist or punctual these days. As the English language has become such a weekend trollup by a lot() of people anyways. Just trying to keep it alive and not becoming PC.

You mean a lot correct? Alot has not yet been formally accepted grammatically or dictionarally.

I thought you'd appreciate that.

I prefer non-oiled drop-in's if you want to be safe. Manufacturers are finally getting engine efficiency down these days so I see no need to go crazy, so I went with a paper drop in I can blow out with a compressor, one small hole drilled into the bottom of the air box and the snorkel. I left the colored lip off when I ordered. Function over form, and the snorkel works, trust me.

K&N here for the fact that i dont plan on installing an intake and the factory filters are $20 a piece. The K&N was $45 so after 24,000 miles(12k mile change interval per Ford) i have already saved money on buying another factory paper filter.
