[DML] Re: Air filter on the DMC-12

["Mark Noeltner" <mnoeltne@xxxx>]

K&N does not make a filter that is an exact fit for the DeLorean. One
of our club members is working with a K&N Engineer to produce a custom
fit bracket that will allow one of their filters to work right. No
pricing or availability details yet. Keep an eye on the "Parts" section
of our club web site:

He has dyno tested the prototype kit and in the DeLorean it produced a
3HP gain. I agree that 26HP is very unrealistic for ANY car with just a
K&N. Max I ever heard of was 10HP and that was on a car that had a very
restrictive factory filter.
