Hey everyone, I just ordered an S&B power stack filter for my new K&N fipk intake. Measurements are 7 inch filter length and 4 inch flange ID diameter. If you have specs for other intakes, post em up. I'll let you know how the filter works out once I get it. With the powerstack design, you want to leave 1 inch of open air in front of the filter for it to work best.

Gearbox,
Send me your email address. I want to send you some photos of my intake setup. I want your opinion. For some reason I am unable to post pictures in the forum.

So you are prediciting that this new filter is going to have better flow, and provide better protection than the K&N filter that comes with the FIPKII? Im really interested to see what kind of results you are going to get. Keep us posted!

Could this potentially rectify some of the low end power loss that seems to have happened after I installed my FIPK?

you lost low-end power after installing it? I thought the FIPK was known for not loosing the low-end like other intakes.

Yes, this filter should be higher flowing and better filtering than the k&n. My FIPK gets here tomorrow, so I'll order this filter soon. Im so happy!

I lost low end power the first day, but now a few days later, the response and low end got even better. You just need to drive it so the ecu relearns fuel curves.

Yes the S&B uses 50% more cotton gauze than K&N, so you won't see any holes in the media. It also has a more advanced design that flows way more air than your motor can use. Should also be louder, but I'll know for sure when I get it.

Grrrr........ I just posted a response and then lost it because the page didnt load. ANYWAY, I basically just stated that I think the loss of low end torque is all in my head because before I got my Civic I drove a 1990 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder, and so my Civic felt REALLY quick at first, and now I am just getting accustomed to it. Been very pleased with the FIPK, but anything that will make it better would leave me with an even bigger smile whenever I hear that thing roar.

woot! let us know how it fits

 
Rep Power: 813

Well the neck fits on perfectly, although the filter sticks forward an extra inch almost due to a longer and curved rubber neck. Still it looks and fits good, despite being a very beefy filter. I'll make a new thread with pics/review when I get home.

PS. those chrome amber bulbs SUCK. They're about 50% dimmer than the other ambers I have.

hmm. that sucks. The bulbs, that is. It's an inch longer, and still fits? The k&n filter that came with my FIPK is touching the fuse box; it doesnt get in the way of the s&b? Pics would be awesome.
