I've had a K&N filter for some time now, at every Honda service I take my car for servicing they tell me the filter will mess up my computer, is this true ? I havn't found the answer anywhere.
Besides that, what's the best way to cool the air from the intake ? And what does "sufficient back pressure on the exhaust" mean ? Isn't the exhaust supposed have the least restriction possible ?
I really appreciate your help, nobody I've asked here (shops, services, etc..) knows a damned thing.

 

theres no way that the filter can mess up the computer....

ill let someone else explain the back preasure deal......i dont know a whole lot about it my self

 

if the K&N filter you speak of is the kind which merely replaces the stock filter, then you should look into getting an AEM CAI. its simply an excellent investment.

What your Honda dealer means is the oil in the K&N filter can clog various sensors and valves in your intake tract. As long as you keep the filter clean and dont over-oil it, you shouldnt have a problem
