I been debating for the past ten month i got this car i should put the on or not install the K & N filters once thing ill love to know if there is a noticeable sound change how much of a difference is there when you install the K & N filter second my concern is with maf sensor with it get dirty i know i wont reoil it but at how many mile do we need to clean our filters if it every 15000 mile or every7000 miles or every 6000 miles or every 20000 mile i dont know i think ill just buy a new one not to risk it does anyone in here have an ideal how long can u go usually without cleaning it i am concerned if i install it will i end up with a bad maf sensor can anyone conclude to this or have any experience form there past how much more growl does the engine sound can anyone put a sound clip on this forum about the K & N filters installed and when you all iNSTALL YOUR FILTER YOU SHOULD ALL DO A COMPUTER RESETSO YOUR CAR GOES BACK TO ORIGINAL FOR SETTING


Step to Reset the TCU. Resetting the TCU will reset transmission to factory shift points and the car will 'relearn' your driving style.

1. Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.
2. Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.
3. Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
4. Wait at least two minutes for TCU to reset

i have done this sevareal time s after i cleaned my oem filters at 7000 miles and driven slow there after i get better fuel milage

So who ever please can give me info on my question i would appreciated alot:rol f:
