Excellent video, even though I was expecting the filters to work. The way he explains the conditions makes it great learning
I just love your very detailed reviews with a dash of humor! Keep em coming! =D
Probably one of the nicest guys in all of TH-cam. Thanks for all the efforts. 👍👍
hello folks,
Absolutely authentic and transparent test.
Thank you very much Sir.
Best testing I've got ever seen on YT.
It will be difficult to be even better!
Greetings
Marcel
Great test! Really appreciated the dyno run which makes this an actual test thus no statements based on personal feeling or suggestions
Excellent detailed & easy to understand comparisons. Thanks & keep up the good work!
Respect pt munca depusă, realizez ca a ti-a luat foarte mult timp ! Excelent video!
Keep up your great work!!! Great tests, thanks!
Good quality for such a small channel.
Thanks for your work.
Awesome vid! Also so much information gained from this video so much more than others I’ve watched. TY!!
Very informative videos, really liked it. Please keep uploading the great videos like this.
Love your reviews man!! Very scientific!! Keep up the cool reviews!! 👍🏻
Your level of effort is incredible. Amazing!
Felicitari pentru continut. Videourile tale necesita foarte mult echipament si pregatiri!
Thank you for this video! Clear and exactly what I was looking for!
to test the flow performance of the filters try using your diy chamber and pull air using a blower fan or better a vacuum cleaner, then measure the pressure drop inside with an low pressure sensor.
For remapping the car if you don’t want to add too much extra stress on components you can try keeping the old torque up to higher revs until you reach the desired horse power. for example 250Nm @4000rpm would give you 140Hp
Amazing video! Definitely going to reference this video when talking about intake systems!
Best video on this subject I’ve seen. Thank you
I loved this video. You are bringing the truth out. Many people don't believe me when im explaining this to them.
Thank you for this video, the result surprised me, but also pleased me, as now I am confident that leaving the original filter in my car is all I need to get maximum power from my engine !
I've used a k&n drop in filter for 20 years. The same filter, just rinse and lightky re-oil. I have not had any issues with it. I've put about 80k miles on the filter and it still works great.
80k miles probably isn’t enough to notice a difference in engine life.
I believe it’s worth the price upfront. Washable filter will pay for its self within 3 yrs
Never had a K&N throw a code. If you over oil them your doing it wrong.
Yeah, ok. But has your engine been protected? Looks like the K&N is actually very bad at its main job, filtering. It was almost as bad as no filter at all in this test.
150,000 in 6 years
great video Sergui , well explaned and good documentation
Thanks for sharing! This was a really interesting insight into filter options
Very good information, definately an eye opener for a lot of people.
High quality content! Thx! :)
An honest review a breath of fresh air
Excellent comparison. Thank you.
Conținut excelent, tine-o tot asa. ✌️
Thank you for such an illustrative video.
Fucking hell, what a quality video. Mad props, mate. Thanks for all the time and study you put into this!
Very well done - thank you!
Excellent review! I love the evidence based decision
After so many years of pondering how really those filters outperform one another now I got the clearest idea. Thanks for this very helpful info. More please on some aspects about car performance!!
clean video - great work!
Awesome work & thank you!
Thank you for your contribution, quite rewarding. 😊
Really good and clear video, thank you so much from italy
thank you man . i like all your pro videos !
Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully I was able to change my filter out soon enough to prolong the life of my engine.
Thank you for the proper explanation of having direct intake air filter vs placing the filter exposed under the bonnet
I love this topic thanks man
This man is sth else.huge respect for you mr.gabor
I appreciate the information and what it to took get it...so thank you my friend. You saved us money. Subscribed and like!
Thank You for this information!
Great video and comparison!
This was an excellent video, thank you
Excelent video-ul! Cautam asa ceva de cateva luni si nu pot sa cred ca am gasit chiar de la un roman, felicitari! Mi-am luat un filtru con pentru masina si, chiar daca suna mult mai bine motorul, nu puteam nici cum sa merg cu el linistit pe strada ca si daily driver. Tot timpul imi statea pe cap ideea ca "da, acum e bine, dar in 20.000km cum va fi?". Multumesc tare mult, m-ai salvat de o groaza de stres! Subscribed
thank you so much, you're a gift!!!
Hey mate thanks for all the tests u do, i got a 2019 audi r8 performance and cant decide which oil to use. in the tests ive watched from you motul and ravenol are on top and liqui moly is up there aswell. Which one would u recommend?
Manoll
Absolutely excellent video!
Great informational video! Thanks👍
Very informative video. Thank you.
Excellent video!👍
Thanks for your review and information ❤it
Good demo, you answered my questions.
Really awesome test!
Benson and Gabor two of the best testers of automotive products on YT 👍🏻👍🏻
@@RickyG84 😁 don't forget the king of us all, Project Farm! :D
Thank you. I learned a lot.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for! I decided I won’t buy an air filter till this was uploaded
By far, the most reliable, easy to understand, not wasting my time, scientific test, I have ever seen!!! I am also an engineer in Auto Sales Business, who has a stage1 remapped Z4 20i. Now, If you have renewed the test after you remap your car, this video should have been your Phd :) please update it while your car is remapped.
Excelent ca de fiecare dată! Eu de la tine am aflat și de atunci tot Mahle iau. În plus, îs făcute la Timișoara. Dacă ai putea testa și cu motor aspirat natural ar fi ceva. Totuși pentru 2-3 cai în plus, nu știu dacă are sens uzura în plus a motorului, mai ales la cât praf e la noi...
Thanks for the informative video
Good job mate 👍 thankyou
I put an AEM in my new Subaru as soon as I got home from the dealership. It’s been a year and thanks to your video I may swap back to the OEM filter
Your videos and your presentation are awesome. You should keep doing this.
With all the information so far, I think Sotck OEM Mahle Filter will work well. Also, You have done good work and put great effort for this video. Kudos to you have thank you for your efforts.
Amazing explanation and experience, congratulations very very good job. Liked the scientific approach
Great video, thanks!
That recyling gave me an idea. I checked the part number for the air filter in my car, and turns out all BMW E46s have the same filter, from 316i with barely over 100hp to M3 CSL with 360hp.
That dyno graph looks fun!
Thanks , great job
Thank you sir. I was eyeing the AEM, cause I still care about my motor.
Awesome Work
I've learnt a lot from your video. Thanks. Next time I need a new filter, instead of forking out £20 to £30 for a new one, I'm going to cut out the filter material from the old filter and replace it with a few layers of J-cloth or microfibre cloth. I reckon this will cost about £15 to £25 LESS than a new filter and will probably work just as well. I might experiment with soaking the cloths in the oil used to lubricate chain-saw blades as this is quite a 'sticky' type of oil.
Great video - subscribed - thanks!
Merci ! C'est une excellente vidéo 😀
thank you, great video
Thanks for this video
Thank you very much 👌😁 i use Just the Mahle Filters. These are the best Filters 👌
Awesome video man!! I like your cientific approach, been a cientific myself! You even had a 3D printer (pink filter holder) and do arduino stuff! Great!! I was wondering if i should change the standar filter in my Jeep Wrangler with a Pentastar engine or keep the paper one (a high quality japanese one). I will keep the one I am using, cause I live in Chile and climate is desert, so a lot of dust everywhere and the oiled ones get clogged fast. I will only change the intake hose and get rid of the resonator.
Thanks a lot! New subscriber here!
thanks a lot man. too many speculations about these types of air filters....
Thank you for the video :)
I use a K&N filter and service it every 10000 kms and the clean side of the air box stays very clean compared to a standard filter it all depends on how much oil you put on them and no problems maf sensor well not yet anyway.
I'm 63 years old & have owned 14 vehicles in my driving history since 1975 when I was 15 years old..I've used K&N Clean & Oil filters since then👍
Excellent video.thank you knowing the filters are a scam is very angering.Liars and cheats all around us,all the time
It's well known among auto engineers the larger particle score your pistons rings.But idiots out there won't listen to logic
@GTNova000 as if that can be proven.. I'm sure there are plenty of scored chamber walls and damaged piston rings from dirt out there.
63 years old, and still believing the same old shyte sold to you by marketing companies selling you a dream.
Sad mate.
But the video shows it's a bad filter compared to dry one.. personally my maf sensor went faulty with k&n after some 3 months of use
Hi, great video! Have you ever tested sprintfilter and afe dry s or sponge filters like pipercross or ITG ?
Very nice. Thank you!
Thank you. I just ordered an AEM to replace the K&N engine air filter on my car. I put a Mahle in the cabin this time but I'll most likely put a K&N one in there around my next oil change.
Honestly got it for the reusable aspect rather than performance. I don't like waste 😅 but i also don't want my engine to go to waste from the lack of filtration from K&N so thanks again for this video 🙏🏼
Makes no sense. Why would you put a k&n cabin filter in next time
I used Green Filter, I don't know if this brought more power, but the engine responded a little better and consumed a little less. Engine sound was better. Good Test!
Hi. Nice video. The experiment about the dust is very importat. I need to mention that at new cars 2013 year and after putting a different filter ecu needs 3-4 days to read changes about air mettering. Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost 140ps. When i put k&n filter, hks and original the differences were after the third day. I start seaching about that and that happens.even new bikes
I kinda like that the AEM doesn't need to be replaced as often. Not surprised that OEM is ideal for a typical daily driver.
KN is exactly the same.
Higher flow air filters are better for forced induction vehicles with either turbo or supercharger.
@@user-is1xn4xt9nThe opposite: are better on NA engine.
On new turbo engine air pressure on intake is constantly measured... If is less the waste gate open later to give same air pressure.
Obviously in standard condition... If you make big tuning is different.
@ziofrenko not always as my car has twin turbos and doesn't have a maf sensor, my car uses speed density by a boost pressure sensor and a map sensor. Thus getting g more air since the wastegates are electronic controlled and by boost pressure only. Most newer cars use a maf sensor aka Mas airflow sensor that meters measured air coming in. And adjust fuel and boost accordingly. The only place u run into problem is by running a bov on a maf car and can cause the car to run lean or to rich and stall. On a car with speed density it doesn't matter. As there is no maf to Metter air coming in. Also having a high flow air filter doesn't effect either vehicle only bov or bod aka diverted valve. And a tune. But just a filter ur ecu should acount for more air adjusting a/f ratio and to do it properly u have to remove negative battery cable and wait a few hrs then re connect this will reset the long term and short term fuel trims. And force ecu re learn.
Great review thanks for pulling this together!
O yeah this is one of the best review ever love your work keep it up.
After I have seen your vids about the filters it let me thinking if a K&N is the right choice. They filter less dust ( in my area it's not dusty) and no big hp benefits. I have put this morning a K&N filter in my Seat Exeo with 2 liter engine. The main reason for me it's the sound it gives. Now I hear the turbo sucking air and I love to hear that. I have cleaned the air hoses before the filter just to make sure I don't have unnecessary dust that could harm my engine
I Would like seeing you making a Test with a Pipercross Airfilter.
Really great Video and great to see all the Results you got out of there .
The best tests is here
Bune documentația și testele, felicitări. Iar concluzia...cine vrea sa fie sincer cu el însuși...
Excellent video
GREAT JOB!
Excellent video! I was hoping to see a comparison to the aFe dry filter -- but this is a great start!
I'm surprised the AEM is so good without any 🛢️ on it that's impressive for being a "dry flow" filter so there's really no chance to mess up your mass air flow sensor from the oil 🛢️ on the filter + easier 2 clean👍👍
@@you_can_fuck_your_own_ass_69 no its been debunked that oil gets on a sensor after it has been oiled properly. Keyword. Dont over oil it and you will NEVER have a problem. People like to WELL over oil thinking more is better. A very light coat of oil is all that is needed. Never had a problem in 35+ years.
So happy that you also came to the conclusion that a somewhat dirty filter is more efficient than a new. Not easy to convince people about that. Worked with filtration for 8 years
but look how less the air volume it can only get mate.
Haven’t changed mine in 40km and it’s still pretty damn clean haha no use changing
