NewDriverOlderRide Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 So when you use seafoam through the pcv valve and let the car sit 5 minutes, then start it up.....clouds of white smoke are supposed to come out from the exaust, under the car, and under the hood....right? It seems to work fine and everything... Also, are K&N Filters worth the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'll save you some time from using search. Yes, the white smoke is normal. It should go away after a few seconds. The K&N Filter maybe worth the extra money. I had one, but never really noticed a huge difference in power. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with GG, and at the risk of "volatizing" this thread, the basic debate hinges around the tradeoff between filtration and airflow. K&Ns will not trap all the fine particles that a proper pleated-paper filter will catch, but they could flow more air than a comparable area pleated-paper filter. "Comparable" is a key word here...
