k&n vs standard filter

[tomtom-070526]

the k&n replacement filter costs 10 times more than a paper jobby (for an rt) is it worth it cos im gonna be changing soon and wondered what these r like performance wise

poo....K&N filter performance is crap, discussed a few days ago, look it up.

Are we talking full induction or replacement panel filter?

 

[Essex_Lad]

replacement panel filters in guessin

not worth the cash for 0.1% BHP increase

 

[tomtom-070526]

just the replacement panel matey not a fan of iks jus wonderin why its so pricey thought id jus check

 

[The Kirmanator]

They are pricey, Im running a K&N replacement filter on mine at the moment....as Essex lad said theres no power gain but at least you wont have to buy another filter again...unless your car manages over 1 million miles!
