🔧 K&N 33-2342: High Performance Air Filter for Honda (2005-2014) - Premium, Washable Replacement Filter Review

My dad bought one of these filters for his 4Runner and noticed a slight improvement in fuel economy. When it came time to change the filter on my Civic, I decided it would be a worthwhile investment. I've also noticed an improvement in fuel economy. There seems to be a misunderstanding about these filters, they need to be cleaned and k&n sells a cleaning kit. That also costs money. Revain's price is about the same as auto parts stores. I just didn't have to drive to several different stores to…

Even on a 2009 Honda Civic 1.8L (non-Si engine) this filter change made an immediate impression. After the engine hiccuped once on first start - no doubt because the MAF was used to a larger draft - it ran smoother and even shifts were better and less "clunky". No, this isn't a transmission filter, but a more efficient engine certainly has an impact on the transmission, such as the transmission. This is an automatic so the difference was more noticeable than my manual Pontiac Vibe (Toyota…

I was a little hesitant to buy a removable air filter for my car. I wanted an SRI mount for my car but I'm too lazy to put it in and I don't want to pay anyone. I came across it and bought it. When I received the package, I threw in the filter: I noticed a slightly lower tone, although not as strong as when actually consuming it. Also, my accelerator pedal feels a bit more responsive. I drive a manual transmission Civic. Before the K&N filter, there was a little delay when shifting into second…

I bought two of these, one for each Honda I own. I bought them so the service people wouldn't try to sell me an air filter when I really didn't need it. I plan to clean them once a year, in summer, then I always know their true condition. As for horsepower and fuel economy? I don't have much hope. A standard air filter passes air very easily, which does not significantly change the situation. I had a K&N intake "kit" on a Camaro I once owned that included an all new intake manifold and large…

To be honest, I'm still really excited about this air filter. I installed this on my 2008 Honda Civic LX sedan by replacing the stock OEM filter. What I've noticed is an improvement in acceleration response. There was always a slight but noticeable lag when I hit the accelerator from a standstill, and now it's gone. I didn't notice the increase in performance and didn't expect it. As for the gas industry, it's too early to talk about it, but don't expect crazy successes here either. I chose…

A few months ago I bought a used 2007 Honda Civic coupe. I was disappointed that the fuel consumption was lower than expected, then I pulled the air filter and it turned out to be dirty. My brother used the same K&N washable air filter and loved it. I just installed it and did my first fuel economy before and after check. Driving conditions were identical, a good mix of city streets and freeways, and my MPG went from an average of 28 (before) to 31.5 (after). Much more in line with the average…

I don't like it. i don't hate it It's just okay. I'm not a professional engineer, so I can't say if there are any benefits to switching to this filter. As a normal driver, I don't feel any real difference in fuel consumption or acceleration. The engine air filter is used to filter dust or dirt that enters the engine from the outside. K&N advertises that it can be used over 100 times after washing and can be re-greased every 50,000 times in normal traffic. Of course. This saves you money because
