Anybody using K&N drop-in filter?
Anybody using the new K&N drop-in filter yet? Released last month or something, but haven't heard any experiences yet?
Or has anybody used a K&N drop-in in previous cars?

I have had K&N drop in filters in every car I have ever had and was never let down. As for my civic I am debating between the drop in filter and the FIPK, only thing I am worried about is messing with my warranty. I know the drop in filter does not affect it but still not sure about the FIPK, I have a friend at the dealership but is on vacation so I am waiting for him to return to make my decision.

Rep Power: 0 I'm planning to go for the K&N drop-in replacement filter, but the only problem is that it is still pretty new and hard to find in Canada. I am currently exchanging e-mails with some U.S. online stores to see if they can ship up here...

Rep Power: 0 Part no. 33-2192, bought online from http://www.martelbros.com, $40 shipped.
Have had it for a week and have noticed improved response all throughout the powerband, especially at higher rpm's.
Good $40 investment.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

I asked my Honda dealership a month ago about some things... (ie. FIPK and cat-back) They told me both will void my warranty on every aspect except the power windows... I don't really understand why they said that as they rushed me off the phone... but whatever. I want to know what your friend has to say.[hr]
