K&N Air Filter

[petrified.rabbit]

the power difference is noticable on the butt dyno...

does fine in rain with the cover in place. only had the cover off 2 days now.. and a fog is going in asap.


the basic shape of the fogs lights works. but the mounting arms are different and one hits the rebar so its a no go unless i cut off the arms and make my own (which isn't out of the question yet) but i listed them here for what i paid. and then might buy hatch ones if they sell, if they dont i will pull everything apart and mount them.

its fun tearing into this car. i have four other fitment projects left (probably not going to get to): rear discs and 11.3 inch front brake upgrade, real coil overs, shave the bow ties, and chassis bars (underneath and F & R strut towers).

So far i have done CAI, rear sway bar, rear shock upgrade, CD install, Darkened the headlights, debadged, 1/2 the foglight upgrade.

ACTIVE THREAD REPLY: 06 AVEO had a CAI on ebay for @ $60 shipped.

1/2 a fog light upgrade. I think I'm just going to order some custom projector fogs that I can modify into that opening. Idk. we'll see.

[petrified.rabbit]

take a good look in there before you do, we dont have a very deep opening.

Hang on, I think I have some H3 projectors in the back of my jetta. BRB, im gonna check and see if they fit.

i think building one may be over my head, and i really don't want to void my warranty either. i'll wait for a bolt-on CAI.

so 2.5 will probably be best for exhaust pipe? I just want it rediculously loud. I'm not looking for great power increases, i just want to annoy people and maybe get better mileage...

if anyone hears of someone who manufactures bolt-on CAI for the 09 1.6 let me know... thats what i'd like to find.

...oh and do ALL aveos have the same size stock air filter?

[petrified.rabbit]

Technically, if a CAI will void your warranty, so will a drop in filter.

No idea on the filter though, i dont think anyone here has an 09 and another year to compare.

33-2320 is the part number i found for a k&n filter that it seems most aveos if not all apply to.

[Wolfman AK907]

Ok, Idk if I'll use these but they fit. I think I could mount them and them make a round cover with the center cut out for the projector to cover the gap around the light. Paint it flat black and she'd be good.

[petrified.rabbit]

please tell me you took out the screws?

[Wolfman AK907]

No, they just popped off. Then they popped back on. I checked a couple of weeks ago and put it back on and it hasn't fallen off or anything. Haha, I didn't see any screws.
