Talking

It IS easy to rip the filter so the tip above is very useful.

Thanks!

ok so where's the best place to get these filter CHEAP(in the P-car sense of the word).

I'm planning on buying them and going to my nearby Mobil 1 and talking them through it, as I watch. I need the stupid ASE certified receipt for my extended warranty.

I have not found a cheap pollen filter--$32 is the cheapest I found at Kragen.

The air filter I am still searching the parts stores. The list is $36 I beleve.

LUX,
did you notice a difference in performance after putting in the new filters? I know that when I recharged my K$N filter on the old car, the difference was tremendous. Ditto on my friends bike.

I really didn't notice any difference. Matter of fact, my old air filter looked remarkably clean.

I think there's also 2 versions of pollen filters. A cheaper regular version and a more expensive charcoal version. I'm not sure if the regular one still exists or has been discontinued or what. However, I guess it doesn't really matter if you're used to driving with the top down all the time anyway.
