airhog vs the K&N

 

truthfully, they flow about the same. Both will help pickup a little more flow over a paper, but the K&N has been around longer and has very few complaints (it does let more dirt in then a paper, but not enough to stop most people from buying one)

HUH?!

rechargeable air filters allow more dirt to pass thought then paper filters, but not by much.

I got my K&N drop in USED from someone on the forum for like $20. Just something to think about.

K&N If you want to spend that much money on your car. Unless you go the used way.

they're not that much. i bought mine for like $45 and that was probably 3.5 years ago. I'd go with K&N

K&N for sure, they are so trusted and have no problems. They aren't that much for a drop in either.

K&N, I've had one since I've own the car, its been about 1.5 years and about 20,000 miles and it still looks new. It may be a little more expensive, but will pay for itself

It will pay for itself only if you own the car a long ass time. A normal paper filter is like 6 bucks whereas a K&N is around 50. And, you figure you need to change air filters hwo often?

[Rdrckt_92]

How long does a normal paper filter last, I dont even know, I think we change the one in my moms every other oil change depending how it looks. I think it was worth the $50 that it cost, if nothing else I dont have to fight with the goddamn airbox to get the filter out as often, thats just a pain in the ass

[Euro]

i think you're supposed to change it every 12,000 miles or so? i think its something like that

[gp90se]

supposed to change a stock filter 12k miles, but your also supposed to recharge a k&n every 12k. recharge kit is $10 and last 15 or so recharges

[97CuttySupSL]

well..from the replys..looks like ill be gettin a k&n....i picked up a new airbox and been waiting to get a new filter...laziness...time to get rid of that conefilter..heat trap..sounds cool tho

The only difference that I can see between the AC filter and the K&N filter, is that you can clean the K&N, and itll last longer. As compared to buying a new AC filter at every tune up.
