    WWOC is putting in a new clutch in my car and while it's there I am having other stuff done like coolant flush, oil change, brake bleeding, etc...I asked the dealer about air filters and they said it is personal preference. So what's the story...do I go with a Tubi or K&N Air Filter for my 1999 355 F1?...is one proven to have better performance?

    Thanks!

    Todd,

    Funny, but I had my 348 at WWOC last week getting a 30K service. I had asked that a K&N air filter be installed instead of the OEM. But WWOC recommended a Tubi. I posted the question on this board, but I could not get a firm answer from our fellow Fchatters. But I did learn from this forum that the air/fuel mixture might have to be adjusted to account for the increased air flow. Being afraid to screw with things, I just went with the stock air filter.

    Your air fuel mixture will not be affected enough that you would have to actually go and adjust it. The motronic would adapt to it overtime. Tubi to my knowledge does not make air filters, its most likely a BMC. BMC and K@N are both great filters.

    TUBI DOES NOT MAKE AIR FILTERS, SO I WOULD GO WITH THE STOCK OEM FILTER..

    I HAD K-N FILTERS ON MY TR, YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN HP, AND THE AIR VENTS ARE LARGER, THUS GETTING MORE DIRT INTO THE ENGINE.

    SAY WITH THE STOCK, OEM

    Hi Vik...good to hear from you. One of these days when I come up for air from my kids schedule we will hook up. Do you guys ever do anything local to me so I can break away for an hour or 2? I am in E. Hanover/Florham Park...nearby towns are Morristown, Livingston, Short Hills. Most of the runs I see posted are always at least 45 minutes just to get to...door to door the run just takes up too much of the day when you are like me with kids.

    Thanks!
