K&N Filters installed

[TastyPlacement]

I will add that I installed the K&N filters recently without any install issues, no problems, and I noticed a faint increase in power--but it isn't crazy insane extra power.

K & N universal filter, but unfortunately not suitable for the V10

What filters are they? Not K&N by the looks of them. They dont have the end caps.
Looks a good design.

is possible to power up to 14PS

There are previous old posts about issues with K and N filters needing extra oil or allow too big a particle through. Is there still these issues and concerns regarding K and N filters ?

I think any time a new part is installed on the R8, you have to let the car's computer "get used" to it... So you turn on ignition and leave car running for 8 - 10 minutes as it learns the difference from the last air filter you had. People that install a new part and then start revvinng the engine are just looking for problems or check engine lights to come on. So I was told anyways by the techs at German Motoring.

From recent incidents reported here I would say to much oil is not the way to go, a couple people have had their MAFs messed up from that. Stock filters are dry so the aftermarket I'm now using are also dry. I find it tough to believe any quality filter would allow big particles to go through, whole point of them is to not allow that

anyone installed the covers over the filters like in the attached picture?

Installed mine last weekend.... can really tell the difference at the low end. I have a 6MT and
the initial pull to get the car moving as you feather the fuel is less! Have not tested the top
end yet but will do so.

Agree 100%, never install a part and gun the engine.... treat her like a lady boys.

Attached photo: Factory verses K&N, then final photo of done task. In total
taking my time it took 20 minutes.

4.2 or 5.2, Enigma? I'm intrigued.
