hmm...k&n need to oil again after wash rite?
the only way that a filter can increase efficiency is by reducing the resistance to the airflow of the intake manifold
this in turn would mean either a thinner membrane, or bigger holes in the filter membrane
either way, the bottom line is the same...more dust particles get into the engine
these kind of filters evolved from racing and rally cars
i do admit that they improve performance
but as the saying goes....theres no such thing as a free lunch
there is always a compromise somewhere
in this case, its in the life of the engine
more particulate entering into the combustion chamber wears out parts faster (think sand paper)
the vac gauge does not influence the operation of the engine's system in any way therefore it will last as long as it can as long as it is properly taken care of
you can monitor how much you press and thus make sure that you are not merely dumping unburnt hydrocarbons into the atmosphere
this is especially important for underpowered cars like the iswara lmst as it is easy to overpress when it comes to underpowered cars

err...arent we then not addressing the real problem at hand?
the doors sound 'tinny' (like milo tin) coz the outer door panel vibrates and has no damping on it
that is the main source of the sound from the doors
even if you insulate the plastic panel inside, the metal outer panel is still vibrating
this vibration transfers to the rest of the car body through the door links and will thus increase the overall cabin noise
its better to try and stop the problem at the source...not just cover it up
ok ok.. u have ur way of thinkin.. i start wit the door panel 1st den onli go to the door body.. thx sifoo for advice..the only way that a filter can increase efficiency is by reducing the resistance to the airflow of the intake manifold
