What do you guys think about me getting a K&N filter?
Do they really help for better air intake?
if not, what kind of filter should i get?
the stock KK filter is okay.. not great.
What do u guys think? :goink:

I might sell my K&N Intake when the snorkel comes out. I would just buy a stock filter if I was you though.

im lookin at getting an in take to, but i heard through a reliable source that the AEM brute force was better

the bruteforce is better... plus it entails less maintenance. i believe they make K7&N drop in filters for the stock airbow?... i mean if you just want to repalce that filter i think its worth it, but as for the intake i would go with the bruteforce

what is it about the AEM that is better then the K&N? not trying to start anything just wondering what people opinions are?

I have used K&N drop in filters for years in my trucks. There is a claim that oil filters allow dirt into your engine. I disagree, all my dirt bikes had oiled filters, and K&N is used in many forms of off road racing.I think(not sure) it came from Ford not warranting vehicles with oiled filters because of a sensor problem.Mopar has sold oiled filters that would not void warranties.But I do not have K&N in my KK,I have this...

ive been hearing a lot of pros about Mopar, AEM, and K&N. why do u guys like the certain ones you like?. what ever you say is going to determine which one im going to get. please list pros and cons. thank youuuu :BINGO:

I think its more of a personal choice, you will get pros and cons from"experts". That do not have first hand knowledge of all the products. So that is why I bought Mopar, even though its made by AEM it was my choice. As I said before I have K&N in my 1995 V10, I noticed that the rubber was cracking and K&N sent me a new one under their million mile warrenty! After 15 years,now that is sevice.Find many products that would be replaced after that many years?

that is very true, you cant find that anywhere. originally my first choice was K&N..

in myexperience i would say just go with ur first choice, i mean different people have different experiences with differnt products so its all up to you :lol:

ok cool. thanks! :JEEPIN:

DirtyKK · **Posted:** Sat Jun 26, 2010 1:52 am

Reason why I like my K&N... known to flow well, i dont get dirt or oil collecting on the inside, you just have to clean/oil properly. the hard plastic tubing wont hold onto heat like an aluminum one would (i think, makes sense to me). and price, I got mine used, one the cheap. honestly youre not going to see a difference over the two, either way you have a free flowing intake. :2cents:

Every 15k- or every year. Or, if you live in a severe high-dust environment, when it looks really dirty.

Should i get a K&N filter?
