manitcor Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 duh, and they do this for many obvious reasons. I know where I tend to locate my cone filters they get dirty about 2 times as fast and I tend to go through one every 2-3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z34Phoenix Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 whats the point of buying that kit? i bought a cheep filter on ebay... it got all dirty so i sprayed it down with greese lightning and washed it. then used my shop vac and dried it. works fine! looks clean! No problems for $10 +shipping i got a reusable filter for under $15!!!!!!!!! no complaints here. yeah but i see where K&N wont warrenty a cone, cause with the CAI some people put them like inches off the ground and are made cause they hit a curb .... i have also seen a pretty cool vid... might have been on this site. of a SVT cobra blowing off his intake manifold with NOS.... i flattend the filter like a deflated balloon!!!!

Yes the Recharge kit for K&N is one brilliant idea...so things things dont happen quite so much and....IMO K&N doesn't suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 K&N is one of the best filtering companies. There simply is no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 All cone filters do the same thing, K&N just uses better meterial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 the APC filter i have (yes, flame me now) is actually built well, i looked over and tested its durability...pulling and pushing on it. I was suprised at its quality....i did buy the k&N oil and sprayed it liberaly on it.... I got the apc because no body had a k&n in town that was the size i wanted....and to order one was too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 MY K&N gave me 2-3mpg more fuel economy which is all I was hoping to get from just an air filter (I don't believe for a sound that I gained any horsepower or torque)..

I got the apc because no body had a k&n in town that was the size i wanted....and to order one was too expensive. I had a APC cone on my old car, it was fine until the head made the plastic part of the cone seperate from the metal part. Then I just brought it back to the store and they gave me a different one. I have K&N drop-in in my car. Bought it from someone off the board used. I got the re-charge kit which was on sale so it ended up being cheaper in the end and I've cleaned it several times too.
