Air Filter (K&Ns)| RalliKai |  Posted: Jan 31 2015, 11:57 AM |
IDW Goldmember  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,164 Member No.: 3,607 Joined: Oct 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I've seen quite abit of back and forth about drop-in K&N air filters. Considering trying the K&N but not sure if they're worth the premium price. From what I've heard, they're only justification is in their longevity. On the other side I've read reports that K&Ns let more dust particles through than regular paper filters, and the oil from the filter can cause problems with the MAF sensor. Anyone else have experience with this brand? |

But I just can't get behind oiled filters, especially on cars outfitted with a MAF. I'm running a Cosworth dry cotton filter in my IX, and it will be washed and reused until that's no longer viable. I've never been unhappy with the K&N filters I've run, but there's always the risk there of wrecking a MAF and I'd rather not take that if I can help it. |

I've been using the generic FRAM with it getting close to time for replacing and wanted to try something higher quality that breathed alittle better. Haven't heard of the Cosworth filters before. |

Would it be the sort of thing you'd recommend for a Honda? I hope someone gets that. | ||

I've looked up the AEM dryflows and for the most part, have heard alot good things about them. Seems to be the preferred alternative to the oiled K&N. | ||

Japanimaniacs! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 637 Member No.: 16,120 Joined: Feb 22nd 2006 Location: New York | i have used my K&N coldair intake filter for 4 years now in my 2010 Lancer Sportback and never had any problems with the MAF sensor. I've self cleaned the filter this past summer with the K&N cleaning kit and it still works fine. For me i think it is quite worth it with the self cleaning kit and that sexy sound. |
