dhurteau Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 As mentioned in the title I own a 1996 es300. love the car. But it sounds...well. It doesnt make a sound. Im not going for ricer. Or anything like that. I want a good aftermarket airfilter kit, that changes the engine sound a bit. and helps increase mpg. (i understand it wont be anything drastic) Much like k&n's but, they dont make them for my car. I have been to every auto store in my area. All they offer is a k&n filter that sits in the stock OEM airbox. Which is no problem. I just want to know if that will achieve my goal. Or will I have to get a cone shaped filter? Someone Please help! Finding parts for this car is near impossiable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone Please help! Finding parts for this car is near impossiable the K&n filter you are talking about will be for beneficial for your engine and save a little gas but not a noticable amount compared to your factory filter. you can find short ram intake systems but it takes alot of searching around the internet (not enough demand for stores to hold themselves) short ram is crap though. the best way to go is cold air intake. The only thing is that you will NOT find for the car. you will have to find one with the right size pipping and then get soeone to weld it to size and fir it on. hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to go the route of the inbox airfilter by k&n I should have it later this week. When you say beneficial. What are the "aprox" results of one of these filters. i have read 3-5hp and 2-4mpg.
