That looks mighty familiar.....nope, not a K&N, but the same thing. Different Manufacturer. How'd you like the performance boost, and when did you get it?

Looks like what I'll be getting in a few days. That'* your ADTR right Paulnold?

K..now I'm confused, Paul...you mentioned that you were waiting for your Series II short ram intake from ADTR..right?

So, is that it? And I thought ADTR'* came with K&N cone filters? Or does Hector use another manuafacturer? :?

Hector uses something else....not sure what it is, but that'* exactly what I have.

Ah...understood, I assumed Hector used K&N...silly me. I haven't heard from Paulnan the Beerbarian lately so I haven't had a chance to ask him if it arrived, but I know he was waiting ever so patiently for it

is k&n really that superior, or are you just paying for the name most of the time?

Alright here is an arcticle done by Hot Rod Magizine . It shows how the K&N stood up against alot of other performance elements. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/70738/index.html

I am sorry but there is some reading involed :(
but it should help you get a little view of what the elements do.

The reason why I asked this question is because I asked young hec if it was going to be a k@n filter and this one doesnt have the k@n logo or their red and black trade mark :? Now i have to paint the blue tip red to match my underhood colour scheme.Which shouldnt be too hard.I also asked him if he could make my grommet red?Guess he forgot :o .I would have been alot happier with the real K@n filter cause just the K@n stamp alone is worth 5-10 horse!Anyway'* bottom line is I Did notice an increase in performance and better yet It sounds incredible.I'll post some better pics after i clean up the engine bay a little.

That'* just a cheap knock off! Well not "cheap" but still a knock off of K&N'* design. By the looks of it, it looks like an APC filter cone actually.
