Intake Help!
 
Hello everyone, I need your help. I purchased the K&n FIPK2 intake kit about a month ago. I did notice a crisper response and throatier growl. However, since the hole in the fender is now open, all I hear is the hissing of air and the growl the K&N gives off is getting old. I miss the quieter days. Are there any intakes that utilize the hole intake hole in the fender? Are there any remedies for a quieter intake. Oh yeah, I did get rid of my stock air box. BIG mistake, I know. Please help. Thanks :bang:

Your best bet is to locate another stock box, run an Amsoil filter, and do the elbow mod. Sell your K&N on ebay and come out ahead, in more ways than one. ;)

Ditto on that.....either elbow or deckplate mod would be best.

I'd vote for the ISR mod with the elbow mod. More HP that the K&N and a lot quieter to boot. The ISR mod with the deckplate is way too loud...louder than the K&N! Search for the ISR mod or PM me with any questions on how to do it.

Thanks for your help. How much does a new stock filter box cost?

Go to a junkyard or check ebay.

i did the isr with a piece of exhaust pipe, elbow mod, and deckplate and it hisses and is really really loud, i like it though

Yeah, I'm going have to go with them, the stock and an amsoil or trueflow would be way better than and K&N, which actually detunes your performance. too bad you tossed your stock box. but when you get a new one do the IRS mod and its much more response, and loud like your lookin for.

You can do what this guy did and fab a box around your K&N filter. That should quietin it down:

I still have my stock airbox from my 2002, not sure if it will fit your model. I am sticking with my non-stock setup. I like the noise. :)

If it will fit then I might be pursueded to sell it.

Nope wouldn't fit.....he needs a 96-98 airbox to fit the MAF.

ouch, hope you sold your stock one for a good price. I would have bought it from you. Those things are over $400 from the factory (without the MAF)

MTL_4runner Feb 9, 2006 04:07 AM

Just look in the junkyards or eBay.....there are plenty around (price will vary).
