I think that's just BS, I mean... you're supposed to replace the filter after a few months anyway.

Has anybody noticed a difference with the new filter? Do you think that the metal and rubber parts increases the size of the air box, therefore making more air available? How is the gas mileage with the new filter? Thanks.

Firm I believe a few of us that bought the air intake have have just replaced the stock filter with the new one and used stock air box and cover I know I have.Someone here also mentioned that it might take like 400 miles to see any difference.

I do know that the air cleaner box for the H3 is the same one used on the Colorado I5.

I've been reading what the Colorado owners say about the Air Intake system. They basically just replaced the filter also, but some of them removed the cover from the stock box. I'm trying to get the maximum efficiency out of my H3. Keep us informed. Thanks

I tried it with and without the cover on. I noticed no difference whatsoever by adding the filter, and or with the cover on or off. I did notice when I opened the cover, and removed the stock filter, that the stock filter was barely even attached to the intake. Meaning it was not tight at all... Almost just sitting there. I like the K & N because of the ring, and screw that can be tightened.

So posted a differnt thread on availble add-on's... or should I say things that are still NA. So for those that have only replaced the stock airfilter with the E 0773 K & N filter..... how about an update?
1)Was it worth it?
2) DId it change anything?
3) Did your mass airflow sensor get ruined from the oil as dealers claim?
4) Do you feel it gave you more HP?

I fell the clamp on K & N is a better connection than the stock filter. The stock filter could easily suck un-filtered air at its connection to the tube. I have not noticed any gain in HP. I have six vehicles all with K & N's. I have used them for a good decade. Oil on a mass sensor is unlikely unless a person would really over oil a filter.

If it is over-oiled it can affect some of the engine sensors, thus voiding that PART of the warranty. If no over-oiled it cannot affect the warranty.
However, what I'm trying to figure out is why everyone is going to K&N filters if they intend to off-road this vehicle.
It is a well known fact that paper elements filter more dirt particles than the oil based filters. In addition, from my experiences with a Vette when on a Dyno, the K&N filter added no more horsepower than the stock designed paper filter. In fact, during some runs with some friends, gains were seen with the paper filters over the K&N.
