Will using an KnN air filter add any increase in performance in a 8.1 ?

This is a Volvo I take it. They also have the intake air sensor going to the back of the factory housing. So it won't work.

Looking good A7! How about the whistle noise is it less with the air entry change?

No whistle noted....although the Captain's Call being open may be drowning it out.

I was once active on a BMW owners website. There was lots of discussion on KnN air filters. Some BMW owners thought they caused a film build up inside the intake. I never bought one.

They have the same issue in cars on the maf sensor.
I don't know how much oil is on the one A7 uses. But really there isn't a sensor that it will effect on the boat. Just have to again make sure it is for marine use and is a spark arrestor. It's not a air filter.

No oil on our K&N flame arrestor. +1 on BBP’s post.
