Relatively cheap changeover.Should I expect any power or economy changes?Gaz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79569-kn-filter-replacement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 8m 15d Gender: Male Posted 04/04/12 06:45 AM Share Posted 04/04/12 06:45 AM I got my tuner to do a before and after power run before I said yes to one in my car. Got and extra 7rwkw. Not sure what their worth these days but they obviously do a better job.Hope that helps make up your mind.

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 8m 13d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 04/04/12 09:01 AM Share Posted 04/04/12 09:01 AM My old XR was comfortably marking 340rwkw with the factory filter and airbox. With the airbox lid lifted for a run (no filter) it made no improvement. But in saying this I have heard people experience gains running a factory tune and airbox with K&N.Benny.
