do u guys suggest the regular one, or the k & n
reg- 11$ (non-resuable)
k&n- 80$ (resuseable)

is the k& n really worth it? thats basically wat im getting at...

also, which ones are the ones made in isreal? cause im curious which one i have...

 

I got a Fram Air Hog for $40 at WalMart. Same construction as K&N.

I ran a K&N for over 120k miles as well. But, you should only pay about $40 for one of those too.

 

Can you reuse a fram airhog?

 

Yes, it's just like a K&N, except bright orange.

 

am i still ok with a stock air filter? id rather go with that and save me money and replace it next year or watever...
for some reason the k and n at canadian tire is 80$ without tax

back im really curious which one i have in my car right now, its made in isreal and its got part number which i forget, any1 know?

 

Do you have Mopac where you are in Ontario - not sure if you're in Toronto or not.

I bough a K&N panel filter last May at Mopac for Cdn$48 plus tax, which is cheaper than US$40.

 

im currently in london ontario, and im gonna be back in oakville (outside t.o) this weekend, im searching for a mopac in london right now..


ya i typed in mopac in www.canada411.com and it seems its only a bc/ab thing

 

I believe they are only in BC and Alberta, but you can order online.

K&n...k&n...k&n

 

my dad had the air filter replaced at the dealership a long time ago, they replace them with the stock right? (thus made in isreal?) ah ?

 

It appears that the on-line selection Mopac has is limited. Perhaps you can buy one over the phone from them, but you will need a credit card I suspect. The most I get out of an OEM filter is 22,000 miles and change. They are supposed to be replaced @ 30K but I can't make it that far.

 

when u say u can only 'get' does that mean it still runs but when u inspect the filter its clogged ?

 

You are a piece of work aren't you, mrgreek? Of course it runs, its just dirty. A dirty OEM air filter adversely affects the fuel economy of the vehicle.

One reason people like the K&N air filter is that it performs better the dirtier it gets, up to about 50,000 miles when you clean and re-oil them and re-use them. I like the K&N air filter because it breathes better, providing better throttle response. I like how it performs with my Budget Y-pipe. I am not into noise and don't want to hack my airbox, get a CAI or popcharger etc.

I happen to like the K&N panel filter. There must be cheaper places to get them in Ontario than Canadian Tire. Why don't you use your daddy's credit card and get one from Mopac over the phone.

If you have any more inane questions to ask you might as well keep them rolling. I'm sure we'll hear them all in due course, lol! Just kidding. I don't know much but I have picked up a lot of useful information/knowledge since joing this website.

Keep up the good work, mrgreek, lol!

 

lol good stuff, i think im done on this topic, lol till next time

 

It's been a slice mrgreek. I can hardly wait until next time, lol!

 

K&N Panel Filter, suprisingly it feel a lot better on take off with a panel filter over a hybrid filter setup... or just a filter with no piping. All I modified was the air box, I drilled five 1/4" inch holes into the airbox on the side closest to the outside of the car.

 

I use the cone style filter, airbox is too restrictive for me. I like the feel of the throttle with the cone style filter. Mine is actually a stillen filter, paid $75 bucks for it used but with a k&n recharge kit included. Have already cleaned it once and need to do it again soon.

 

$80, are you kidding me? Seriously, now I know why people out there make business off people like you. If I was a d!ck ( ) here's what I would do:

1. Go on ebay
2. Buy a brand new K&N filter panel for our cars at $35 shipped
3. PM you
4. 99% chance sell it to you for $60. After all, you'd think you got yourself a killer deal. $20 off, eh?
5. End up making $20 on you, because say it cost me $5 to ship it.

Let this be a lesson to you.

 

In defence of mrgeek he was quoting Canadian dollars, which brings the Cdn$80 filter back to about US$66. US parts are expensive in Canada and not readily available for the Maxima. Like I said I got one locally last year for Cdn$48 plus tax.

 

I prefer the 'pancake' style K+N filter. It will give you the most horsepower gain (80+ HP). But it's pricey. It's about $3500 - but it does come with a free supercharger.

 

i dont use credit cards over phone or internet, so u wouldn't be able to make money off me, i like using cash
and i dont blam canadian tire for charging 80 dollars...
hard to find...
and when carquest and napa stores dont have it, and ur the only one...why not? if i was canadian tire id charge more to bust more *****...so the corporation will make th emoney, ppl like u never will ******* lol

 

i just got a sweet deal on the airhog from walmart. it was the price of the normal air filter. i bought the normal air filter and when i took it out the box --behold--the airhog was in the box. well, screw the man, im keepin it!

 

Take it from someone who has used K&N for 6 years. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

Get yourself maybe a 3 or 4-pak of factory filters online, no tax, no shipping, 25% off list. They're only $7.40 each, about $9.01 CDN. Not sure what you mean by made in Israel, I believe the factory filters are USA made. Wait a sec, you don't qualify for free shipping, so add about $150 to ship the 3 filters.

 

thnx, im proly gonna get a regular stock filter this time around and leave the o-so-heavy consideration later lol,

 

Was Napa just out of stock? The Napa's in Thunder Bay have the K&N filters but I can't remember how much they were selling for. I was considering getting one...

 

k&n all the way

 

Please don't confuse mrgeek, he has made up his mind and I use the term loosely, lol!

 

ahahha wat a d|ck, ahahah this thread should die right now, like comon

 

just get a K&N panel filter, unless you want to hear the throttle in high RPMs and lose a little HP/Torque

 

K&N thats what i have.

 

Kool blue if you can find one, best there is in terms of flow and filtering. I'd never get a k&n because they filter like crap.
