Air Filter

I am just wondering what air filter do yall use. I heard that there are superior air filters (K&N?) which are much much better than conventional ones that we get in Pepboys or Walmart. Thanks in advance.

well you can get a K&N drop in that goes into your original airbox or get an intake from custommaxima.com
I'd go with the intake better throtle respond and a great roar....

It seems that oil-wetted AMSOIL Filters are much much better than K&N, yet they are relatively cheaper (priced at $25 againts $40 for K&N).

Also, this link sites the outcome of research :

Can u plz suggest me better one out of experience?

thanks

Anyone else heard that the foam filter tend to fall apart? I wouldent want that **** to clog my MAF or even get into my engine.

Any experiences?

ya, i was just reading this morning abt the foam filter messing up things on the MAF and that it's more risky etc etc., I may have to stick to the paper filter if not K&N
