Air Silencer.....

where is the air silencer on a K&N filter and how do u remove it? also what does it do if u remove it

ACSPONY · Dec 3, 2004

K&N filters have a silencer? I thought it was just a filter...not an air intake silencer

*cough* BUMP *cough*

the silencer is in the MAF I believe, I know for sure its not on the filter

it's the "snorkle" tube connected to your airbox, goes in the fenderwelll. I removed mine when I installed my k&n just to get the airbox back in easier. doesn't do anything. might be able to hear it suck air a tiny bit more, but, if anything, you'll draw warmer air in. Not worth the 5 minutes unless you're already replacing the filter.

lol I thought the silencer was the screen?

Silvr04GT · Dec 3, 2004

The screen is inside the MAF. The silencer sticks into the fenderwell from the air box. If you car still has warranty I'd be not so quick to take out the screen but the the silencer rip it out when stick in your K&N.

It makes a cool sucking noise

Either way, removing the silencer on a '96-up GT does Jack for performance. Makes a cool sucking sound as stated above, but don't expect any power.....just a dirty airl filter.

The "air silencer"/snorkle is the piece of rubber tubing that goes from the Air box (which surrounds the airfilter), through and into the fender wall.

If u open the hood, and remove the airbox housing the air filter, you will see a rubber tubing that goes into the fender wall. Removing it will net you some horsepower (supposedly). I removed mine on my 98GT, but have not yet done so on my 2002 GT.
