hey all, today i cleaned the air filter on my 98 civic hatchback and it was
pretty dirty, i havent cleaned it for more than a year.

i reved the car abit and i swear it sounded like a different car, it sounded
alot stronger, i drove it abit and could feel it was going better too.

this is a normal cheapo air filter, which is why i was thinking of getting a
KnN Air Filter. Do u think it will let more air into the motor? what are the
benefits of getting it? and how much would it cost in Australian Dollars?

thnx heaps people and Merry Christmas!

Changing the air filter regularly is always a good idea. You need the air
for the combustion, and a clean air filter will allow more air and also give
you a leaner burn for better milage.

or, you could just run with no filter at all. of course, i clean the oil in
my car and maintain it quite regurarly, so i dont recommend this unless you
do your own matinence. quite a boost on my 2k daewoo with no filter as
opposed to a k&n filter. ever seen a daewoo do the 1/4th in under 15
seconds? kinda ammusing

And just watch your engine wear itself out in 30,000km or less.

''Agent Smith", you need to read a book or two on basic mechanics. Air
filters are there for a reason, which is to keep the dust and grit out of
the cylinders, while delivering just air.

And, if you live ina n area where dust and grit is low, and where humidity
is not high (such as say, the UK) then your opint is moot. In the UK I've
had volvo mechanics reccomend I remove the air filter, as its robbing power
(and that engine's done over 150,000 miles, the last 70 of it without an air
filter, and no problems. However, here in Georgia, I have to run a fine
air-filter, because the air is so dusty (its so dry here that all the grass
has turned brown, and I was FORCED to run my civics AC when last-minute
shopping yesterday), especially as its the rural part. Its so rural out
here, I'm considering jacking UP the civic, so it won't ground out so much.
