Hi,

I have a 96 Maxima. Where can I get a K & N filter for $30? Any info would be helpful.

 

The drop in type? Or like a cone filter type?

whatever will fit the factory setup. i believe it's the drop in one.

 

Try Pep Boys, Advance Auto, AutoZone, AutowhateverthehellCarparts Store. They all have K&N books where you can order cone filters to your specifications, or drop in filters for your particular year and model car. They won't have it in stock, but they will be able to order it.

 

are you naming your own price? cause last i checked they cost around $40 at most local shops!

Actually I was reading through some posts that mentioned that these filters are available for $30-35. I was surprised cuz the last time I checked prices over a year ago they were $50-60.

 

I have a used one that was cleaned with the recharge kit. Let me know if your interested... I'll try to find out how much it would cost to ship to az

i am intrested in the filter... how much? do you have a pic?

 

just get a CAI

 

I don't have a picture, but it looks the same as any other k&n filter. i took it out when i put in my CAI. I recharged it when i took it out. I payed about $50. How about $25 shipped

 

eh... i like the price, but if it is one thing i have learned from online buying is always get a picture first. i have been sorely disapointed in some products from ebay because of no picture. i am sorry man... ya can't trust anyone now adays. well if you can come up with a pic then i will think about it!

 

First off, that is a good general theory, but for MOST transactions on here, having references on this forum is as good as having pics. Regardless, $25 shipped is a good price. If you pass on it, I am sure someone will snap it up.

About where to get it? At that price, used is about your only bet. You may be able to order it online somewhere, but I looked and found that $35 was low, and that was w/o shipping. In the end I bought one off of eBay for $10.75, with 1/2 of a cleaning kit thrown in.

That said, USED K&N filters are a pretty safe bet. Unless it has a hole in it, you just clean it and drop it in. Nothing to break or lose. I would think over the $25 offer. I doubt that you will beat it, and there is really nothing that can go wrong with them...

 

I don't have access to a digital camera so its kinda tough to take a picture. I understand you not wanting to get ripped off, but I have no reason to try and scam someone out of $25 bucks and ruin my rep on the org. The filter is in perfect condition(no holes or anything like that). It's up to you. Maybe when I'm home over Thanksgiving break I might be able to use my brothers camera and snap a pic if you want to wait.

ok, i have a couple of questions. does it come with the silver round peice the goes in the filter so i can mount it to the maf? (so i will have a pop charger) and on the top of the filter is it all one peice silver, or is there an indent kind of like a "V" ? yea yea i know i am being a pain, i am just curious. thanks for putting up w/me.

 

he's talking about the drop in not the cone............

 

well i got something for you.

i come acroos a franckencar filter setup. all i needed was the mid-pipe, so i have a brand new (still in the bag) k&n filter with the billet MAFS adapter. i'll sell it to anyone for $35 shipped. let me know. and if you need pics let me know so i can borrow a digicam.

take care

is this the drop in kind or the cone?

 

Why pay $30+ when 5 Finger Discounts are free :P
j/k
But yeah...

 

i know that this is gonna sound like a reterded question, but can you describe the difference between a drop in, and the cone. please, no flames.

 

u can go to near by kregens, autozone, or even body shops they'll have K&N filter... i doubt u'll gonna get for $30, usually they're about $50-$60 + tax... u'll probably find it cheaper on ebay around $40, but shippin will add up too...

i was lookin for K&N on my first mod, but i couldn't find the rite size and i didn't have enough budget it... then i saw a lonely filter sittin at the side, although it's not K$N but it looked exactly the same... but it had no box no nothin... i checked out the filter and it was "3A racing" somethin so i was like okie why not? so i bought it for $29.99 then dropped in... i can feel HP and louder sound at higher rpm =)

so it's up to u...

 

"Drop-in" = "stock" = "square"

"Cone" = "tapered" = <click>

 

Its the same shape as the stock filter... Its a drop in. I can get pics by next friday if you want

Ken

 

then the one i have is "cone". thanks for the help. lol
