i like the K&N filters b/c you can wash them over and over. The cheap generic ones get ruined when you wash them. Plus the K&Ns have a million mile warranty.

I had a generic filter on my car, it let all kinds of dust and garbage into my engine, not cool. Only aftermarket one I trust now is K&N.

well, the generic ones are usually paper filters which you can't wash because they get ruined when you do. i got one from performance improvements... its a cotton fibre filter... $35... even came with oil spray to lube the filter... impressive and it works perfect... and it even has the washing and cleaning instructions in the package... better than $70 for a new one.


and mine had a million-mile warranty on it as well. it even has a graph on the back showing flow difference in cfms... it does show that k&n does outperform it (modest, i like that...), but not by too much... and unless its a boosted application, but my motor only needs so much air anyway.
