Do K&N makes a drop-in air filter for the Protege5.

Thanks

I just got my k and n air filter today from Protege5online.com I noticed a little difference . Definitly worth the money. I think I paid like 30 bucks

good investment

I bought one and I think that it was a good investment. I will say that there was a difference. Not much. But I also added a Bosal and I think that the two did improve the power. I paid about 30 bucks from Summitracing.com.

Did you just drop it in or did you guys drill out the bottom of the air box too??? Or is that not adviseable because of the same hot air issues as the open cone filter??? I know on my caprice, caddy, and my buddy's Explorer we "swiss cheesed" the air box and it helped out

Did you notice better power just in the upper RPM range? Or was it felt across the entire RPM band???

Does anyone have any dyno results???

I think I can sneak this one past my wife.

Thanks,
Bill

EDIT: Just wanted to post that that info was NOT in the FAQ page. I looked.

let me sum up my experience with the k&n drop-in:

I got as much horsepower out of it as $35 could get me!

It does produce a nice low growl when taking off

k&n

I just dropped mine right in. I agree with what was said before. It is as mush power as you can expect for 30 bucks. If you don't want to go to an aftermarket intake then this is the way to go.

Question agreed

It's not a 3000.00 turbo but It's a good 35 dollar investment. I did not drill out my airbox. I noticed more of a difference with the bosal and the filter...a better power band mid range.

filter

you might feel more if you take out all of the resonators after the filter. you know the ones on top of the radiator, and under the 90 degree upwards bend on the front of the air box.
