If the filter is very dirty it will affect the performance of the engine. When was the filter last replaced? How many miles are on the filter? An clean OEM filter will make a big difference over a dirty one.

But if you want, adding a K&N can help too. You might see a slight performance increase over a new OEM filter. I like K&N because it can be cleaned and re-used. However, just don't over-oil the filter after it's cleaned.

thanks nova well im not sure cause i havent changed it since i got so maybe its the 1 the car came with also what do u mean by re oiling the filter :unsure: and what kind of increase can i expect cause i might keep the car now cause i think i found a cosigner for my bike so if it works out i going to keep the car till shes done so i want to keep her running good thanks again

Most air filters have a paper media for filtering the air. The Hyundai OEM filter is paper and when it gets dirty you just throw it out and buy a new one because it can not be cleaned.

K&N filters have a cotton gauze media that needs to be oiled. A new K&N will come pre-oiled from the factory but when it gets dirty you can clean it with a special solution and water. When it is dry, you re-oil it with their oil. Just don't add too much or the oil will coat the MAF sensor and cause it to malfunction. Then you will need to clean the MAF.

WOW R U SERIOUS THANKS O I WAS WONDERING I GOT THE LEAN BANK 1AND2 CODE I READ SOME1 ON HERE CLEANDED THE MAF SENSOR AND IT HELPED HIM A BIT NOW I TOOK IT OFF YESTERDAY I SAW THE THING IN THE MIDDLE BUT I COULNDT REMOVE IT IT HAS 2 SCREWS THAT LOOK LIKE HEX OR ALAN KEY BUT WITH A STUD IN THE CENTER ANY ADVICE

You don't have to remove the sensor in the middle of the collar. You can just remove the collar from the intake tube via the 2 clamps. Then you just spray the sensor with MAF cleaner and re-install when dry.

THANKS NOVA CAN I GET IT AT ANY AUTO PART STORE AND DO I GOT TO GO TO THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN BIG HELP AND THANKS

ok got the cleaner the ran i little better noticeable compared to what it was it did sputter on the expressway tho and i didnt clear the code going to autozone to pick up filter today when i change it i clean the maf agtain and im not sure i know they have comps but not sure if they can erase the codes can unplug the battery cause my radio took about 35 45 mins to tune with the system and i dont wanna go thru that again THANKS AGAINNOVA i keep up to date when i get the results still scared that i got to go to the dealer tho

A better way to clear the codes without disconnecting the battery and losing the radio programming is to just pull the fuse for the ECM. That should have the same effect. I'm not 100% sure on the XG electrical system but I believe that will work.

HMMM THATS WORTH A TRY DO U KNOW WHERE ITS LOCATED CAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MANUAL FOR THE CAR? THANKS NOVA O NOT SURE IF U READ THE OTHER POST BUT KINDA INCREASE CAN I EXPECT WITH KN FILTER THANKS MAN

It should be fuse #3 in the fuse box under the hood. Pull it out for about 1/2 hous to make sure the memory is erased.

thanks nova ill do that ill let u know tonight after everything is done thanks nove :beer: :liebe011:

So how is it running with the K&N? Thinking about geting one myself.

well the check engine light came on and off and umm well i smoked a accord 2 door intake exuast heads and short shifter my car its self sounds like i has and intake and as far as gas mileage i dont notice and it probably because the ce light its still a little rough but **** it running a lot better recommened to all will keep posted just got an 06 honda cbr so my lambo doors and fixing the engine are going to be put off for like 3 months
