Virgin 4x4 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Anyone using a K&N airfilter? I've used them on other vehicles with benefit but I was curious about whether it has any noticeable effect on a Freelander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I think you'll find the general consensus is no. They have a mixed reputation for keeping the grit/dust out of your engine which is just the sort of stuff a 4x4 is more likely to be exposed too.

MMM I find they make a huge improvement I have done 100k in freelanders with K&N filters in and raced with ITG and never had ingestion problems you do need to clean them much every service if not sooner I find ITG are better then K&N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been told, that they don't handle dust as well as the paper ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ITG edesigned the Air intake system on my Dakar Frelander a paper filter is the only thing that can deal with desert dust as oil based filter just block up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Td5 Alive Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I've been so impressed with ITG that i have now become an ITG dealer! They do a fantastic alternative air filter system for petrol freelander, that really makes a big difference. http://www.itgairfilters.com/maxogensystem...axogen&ID=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Disco also has one but in a road car you still need to claen them and don't forget about them like I did in my td5 and ended up with a lump of tar where my filter should be which took agaes to clean. Having said the my LSE could do with one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
