Is a K&N air filter worth it?
Any improvement in HP or noise level?
Worth my $45? Last edited by sci3; 02-10-2015 at 05:12 AM. |

Will it noticeably improve performance? Probably not. But it is a better filter than the stock paper element, and you can reuse it indefinitely if you get the recharger kit. When my stock air filter is due for replacement, I'll be putting a K&N in. No point in spending that money until it's due for replacement, in my opinion.

When you open the airbox and see the piece of shit they put in there, you will be glad you bought a k & n filter.

haha. Bruh, is this a real question more like it. There's plenty of threads explaining drop-in filters and their diagnostics. You roughly get 5hp out of a K&N filter, it lasts a lifetime, it's easy to clean, etc. I'll edit this post with the link once I find it.

Simply put yes. Improved throttle response and 1 or 2 hp for 45 bucks that you simply drop-in.
