Added 10 Horsepower!!! - oldeguy - 12-04-2011
Finally purchased a K&N air filter for my 2012 Focus. According to the advertising, I will get a 1% increase in horsepower. Who knows? I just like the fact of having a reusable filter. The original filter is a standard paper filter.
What K&N neglect to tell it's buyers is that by putting their decal on your vehicle, you get an increase of 10 horsepower..........

1% of 100hp is 10hp?

Someone on here told me once that for every decal you put on your car, you get a 10 horsepower increase, according to the Ricer's bible....

sticker horsepower only works on honda's, in a focus' case it drops horsepower, unless its a focuscananda.net sticker

40 horsepower. Unfortunately it barely offsets the aerodynamic drag they created ...

How much HP would be gained by adding racing stripes then?

Don't even go there...

You'll probably get more HP from adjusting your tire pressure than from that filter lol

NiteSHADE, like the horsepower increase from decals, only works on Hondas and Acuras. Intake, exhaust, and forced air induction work on Focus's.
