08 Viper w/ a K&N

[Westxsrt10]

I found a deal on Ebay for new K&N air filter so i went for it. So far after 50 miles i have no 'check engine light' It appears to have a meaner tone through the higher rpms. Yes it seems to pull harder but i have no dyno to prove it.

A noticable "pull harder" increase in HP on a 600 HP car froman air filter? No doubt it's going to be worth a $50 investment, but you're have a major "placebo effect".

Actually west has the belanger system so he has 675hp and the K&N to boot

K&N part # 33-2284, its the same length and width as the stocker but not as tall.

Interesting that there is still no official K&N filter for the 2008 Viper. I plugged the above part number into the K&N website and it is actually the filter for the 03-08 Mazda RX-8.

He's not the first guy to put that filter in the 08......one guy on the other board did it

2008 headers K&N - Viper Alley - Dodge Viper Forum

Unfortunately, he did not post any baseline (pre-K&N) dyno data so we don't know what impact the new filter had.

If the pleats are shorter, you're probably more restricted... The depth gives surface area.

Thanks for posting. Was this on a Mustang, Dynojet or some other type of dyno? My 2008 recently dynoed 529 rwhp and 505 rwtorque on a Mustang at far closer to sea level (Vancouver, WA). Mileage was about 1,600 miles.
