K&N FIPK worth every cent
My butt-dyno was telling me there was a power difference but I didn't want to get ahead of myself. On Friday I installed my K&N FIPK Kit and did a Mobil 1 Synthetic oil change (to change out my oil that had the seafoam in it). It rained all weekend so I hadn't gotten the chance to test the change. The results I got today were incredible.
The numbers: 16.45 @ 84.8 MPH 16.52 @ 84.5 MPH 16.53 @ 83.9 MPH 16.45 @ 84.9 MPH 16.59 @ 82.8 MPH Avg with stdev: 16.51 sec +- 0.06 This is a 0.68 second average improvement on my 1/4 mile time. Not only that, but the times got even MORE consistent than after I did the seafoam. I am very pleased with this intake... |

I wasn't keeping exact track of it, but I would estimate around 150 miles. I changed the filter to an AC Delco. I also forgot to mention that I cleaned the MAF sensor while I had it all apart, so that probably contributed to the time as well... _____________________________ 2003 LS (4-door) Chevy Blazer 4.3L 2WD GU6 G80 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2257682 |

Your FIPK 2 will work even better if you install a flowmaster, gibson or any type of muffler...now that the engine is inhaling good, it needs exhaling...after I got the custom y-pipe the truck woke up one me as if it was dead before...

For the y-pipe, did you have to actually have it custom made? Like, at a muffler shop or something? |

You have to have it custom made @ a muffler shop...this made my truck gain the low end I lost after I installed the muffler...my 4.3 now sounds like a 5.3!
