Roush sells a clear lid with filters. The kit is like $550. For what is likely a zero hp gain

do you know if these lids work on the factory air box with KN filters by chance? They do look neat.

Also, any chance you guys noticed any extra performance with these filters at all? Trying to decide if I want these white ones with the clear lids since they are on special right now or opt for the KN filters with the clear lids. I will save about 75 bucks if I go with these white filters over the KN's...

K&N is garbage.

I wouldn't say they are garbage. They are well made. The ROI isn't there. I knew I better but didn't do better.

They don't filter well, they dont flow better, they foul up MAF sensors due to over oiling, and I certianly wouldn't say they're well made. Compared to other available products, they are snake oil surviving on name brand recognition and false marketing. Id says thats pretty close to garbage .

I had it to do over again I’d just remove the honeycomb and call it a day

So, speaking as a dummy, what are the traps really for, and why remove them? I've heard removal has no benefit.

its to catch/absorb fuel vapor mostly because auto start stop
but i guess it would slightly help when parking too the minuscule about it of vapor that comes out.

but the idea is it temporarily absorbs it from a start stop even then when you get moving again it evaporates back out and gets burned off cleanly

its likely doing very little if any thing but you know stupid epa rules
