gp90se Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp90se Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 rechargeable air filters allow more dirt to pass thought then paper filters, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I got my K&N drop in USED from someone on the forum for like $20. Just something to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcjredline Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 K&N If you want to spend that much money on your car. Unless you go the used way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrckt_92 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadz34 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrckt_92 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 i think you're supposed to change it every 12,000 miles or so? i think its something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
