Default RE: What MPG and HP increasing devices NOT to buy!

I have done and still do the acetone in my car. It had no noticable effect on my MPG, however I did notice an increas in power.

As for K&N, screw that! K&N sucks big balls, if you have a K&N on your car you might as well take it out and leave it open.


This is an independant studdy on several filter brands, including K&N.

This study proves that,
-K&N lets an enormous amount of dirt through
-K&N has negligable increase in flow (especialy at the rates that most of our engines run)
-K&N is more restictive than other brands as it gets dirty

And that in general K&N sucks. If you want a filter get an AC Delco filter, that is 150 times more effective at dirt removal than K&N, and does not require rutine mainainance.
