Looking for 33-2369. Tried Cdn Tire but they dont have it listed in their computer. Is there somewhere I can find it in Canada so I don't have to order from the US?

Its still cheaper than getting it locally, cdn tire wants $80(for the 2.4L) + shipping from keystone and performance improvements wanted like $110 for the gxp filter.

The K&N has been known to throw codes in the 2.0. Make sure it is not overly oiled...

Maybe I'll just get the Dejon CAI when the Wester tune is ready. K&N doesn't seem worth it at that price.

The K&N drop filter that replaces the OEM has not been reported here to my knowledge to through a code.
I have had mine in for a year now with no problems.
I know of others that have it with same results.

I am going with the Dejon CAI.

If I am going to spend $100 on a piece of paper (!) I might as well spend $249 on a polished light weight aluminum CAI that has been flow analyzed by the guy who will be doing my tune!

Just ordered the Dejon Hard Velocity Stack intake pipe + AEM filter. It was $204 USD after shipping.

Also ordered HPT Pro from Westers garage today (I would have gone through DEJON for this as well but hes doing my tune, and is in Canada so it made sense)

My testing indicated that I lost 1-2 psi of boost with the K&N vs the factory filter so my K&N is sitting in the box unused and I'm sticking with the factory filter for now. Has anyone seen a measurable performance improvement using the K&N?

From what I have read on the forum, it is because your computer is cutting boost to keep power at 260HP. You will need to get a tune to unlock the gains from the filter..

Unfortunately since I race my Solstice in stock class autocrossing I can't do anything to modify the computer (or indeed anything that affects power except the air filter and a cat-back exhaust) so it looks like I'll have to stick with the stock filter then.

A drop in psi doesnt mean you lost power, if you have some kind of scan tool you can log the mas airflow reading and compare that with both filters rather than boost. But since our ecm doesnt really allow an increase in hp until you edit it theres not much point in the k&n filter.
