Need Help with K&N Filter
I purchased and installed my K&N drop-in filter for my 09 GTS. I was just wondering if the drop-in is supposed to make the engine louder or have a slight growl under medium to hard acceleration. I am trying to find out if I did not line up the seal correctly, and if that could be causing the growl. I can definitely hear the air rushing into my engine, but I wasn't sure if there should be that vibrating/rumbling growl with it. Thanks.

it's pretty tough to mess up the install of a filter... but if you are worried try flipping it upside down and seeing if it fits, if it doesnt you have it installed correctly...

Lol yeah that is what I figured, I just wasn't sure what kind of results I could expect other than low hp gain. Seemed easy enough to install just am not used to the growl so was just wondering if it was normal.

Yeah thats how it always is. I did a short ram one on my evo and did one on my dads tacoma. Its a "little" bit louder! But everything is ok

shouldn't be much change at all in sound... check that everything is lined up well. there have been people reporting that the bottom of the airbox is hard to get clipped with the k&n
