K&N Air Filter
I just installed this K&N air filter. It was really tough to push in. Is that normal? Also, I was a bit nervous about putting the included grease around the outer rubber, but I put a very small amount anyway.

Just in case you didn't know the K&N's flow more air because they flow more dirt !

Stick with paper, replace often.

I believe the K&N style filters have gotten a bad wrap because of users who are not willing to follow maintenance requirements. I have used them on almost every car I have ever owned. 5 years in a 2003 Boxster never had a MAF code. Statistic's show they flow more air and clean better than paper filters with the added bonus of longer life. The catch you have to be willing to clean and maintain them.
If you believe you can install and forget this filter like your paper filter. stay with a paper filter. |
Start saving for a new MAF...

+1 For Paper
A new paper filter once a year.

In the BMW motorcycle world a techie guy with instrumentation compared airflow between Stock paper filter Stock filter half blocked off K&N No filter at all There was no airflow difference. Difficult fit is not surprising, as K&N is not a quality product and fit is dubious on many rectangular versions. If you have a 4-barrel with a round filter around it, K&N will fit. It's a product that is 100% hype. |
