Q&A

• Who sponsored the video and what did they offer?

  The video was sponsored by RetailMeNot, which provides a money-saving browser extension for car parts and other purchases.

• What additional information was shared about the airbox?

  The video mentioned that there is a charcoal filter in the airbox that adds an additional restriction, and the possibility of removing it for testing will be explored in a future video.

• What percentage increase in horsepower was shown by the high-performance air filters?

  The high-performance air filters demonstrated an increase in horsepower by about 2.5% to 3.5% on both the dyno and in real-world testing.

• What performance gains were observed in the real-world testing?

  The stock dirty filter had a 20-60 mph time of 8.96 seconds and a 45-60 mph time of 3.59 seconds. Minimal differences were observed between clean and dirty stock filters, while the CARQUEST aftermarket filter resulted in about a 1.2% improvement in acceleration, and the high-performance air filter demonstrated approximately 2.5% to 3.5% increase in horsepower and the fastest acceleration.

• What were the key findings from the air filter testing?

  The testing revealed minimal differences between clean and dirty stock filters, a slight improvement with the CARQUEST aftermarket filter, and the highest improvement with the K&N high-performance filter, demonstrating about a 2.5% to 3.5% increase in horsepower on the dyno and the fastest acceleration in real-world testing.

• How were the high-performance air filters tested?

  The high-performance air filters were tested using dyno pulls to measure power improvement, and real-world acceleration tests were conducted from 20 to 60 miles per hour to determine performance gains and improvements. The testing focused on percentage differences rather than absolute horsepower numbers.

• What was tested in the video?

  The video tested different air filters, including the dirty OE filter, clean OE filter, low-cost CARQUEST filter, and high-performance K&N filter, to assess their impact on engine performance through dyno and real-world acceleration tests.

• 00:00 Testing different air filters to see if they improve performance using dyno and real-world acceleration tests. Filters include dirty OE filter, clean OE filter, low-cost CARQUEST filter, and high-performance K&N filter. High-performance filters may increase horsepower and acceleration by being less restrictive and allowing more air into the engine.
• 02:08 High performance air filters are tested on a dyno to see if they make a difference. RetailMeNot browser extension helps save money on car parts. Three dyno pulls are done for each filter to compare horsepower. Dyno numbers are used for comparison before and after making changes. Percentage differences matter more than absolute horsepower numbers.
• 04:16 Testing different air filters on the dyno shows minimal performance differences between clean stock filter and a dirty one. Low-cost alternative and high-performance filter both show horsepower and torque improvements compared to the clean stock filter. KNN high-performance filter performs the best among the tested filters.
• 06:46 The real-world testing measures acceleration in five-mile per hour increments from 20 to 60 miles per hour to determine performance gains and improvements. The stock dirty filter had a 20-60 mph time of 8.96 seconds and a 45-60 mph time of 3.59 seconds.
• 08:49 Air filter testing showed minimal difference between clean and dirty stock filters, slight improvement with CARQUEST aftermarket filter, and the highest improvement with high performance filter.
• 11:12 High performance air filters can increase horsepower by 2.5 to 3.5 percent on both the dyno and in real-world testing. There is a charcoal filter in the airbox that adds an additional restriction, but removing it for testing will be explored in a future video. RetailMeNot sponsored the video and offers a money-saving browser extension for car parts and other purchases.
