subikid90 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 So I know this has been discussed before but I need to get a new one and debating going with a reusable one or the cheap drop in one, at least until the top mount intake is done:rolleyes:. Here are the few I am looking at K&N Green Fram OEM What do you guys use? Price? Happiness? -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 K&N is great, but it's costly. I think mine ran me $40, but it'll last forever and it gives a noticeable difference in performance. The OEM one that was in mine before was a piece of shit, and was falling apart when I took the airbox out to inspect it. If you're going to use yours for the tmai then get the K&N, but then again we don't know the dimensions yet. you think we should just keep it to spec with the stock airbox so everyone can use their old filters?

98LGTLover Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I got a Fram one for like $15, nothing special. I would like to get a K&N filter in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Has anyone used the green ones? They are said to be better than k&n but I don't see anyone around here using them. They run about the same price as k&n does. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnectar Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 if your gonna spend 40 bucks on a k&n filter think of the 150 ish it would cost to put a performance intake system on, I know the weapon R's are cheap, and thats what i would recommend as there foam filters are indestructible ( same air filter for 7 years on my car, never been cleaned..... ) I will be replacing mine because after 7 years there are visible dust particles inside the foam but im still getting good flow with it. as my mechanic states K&N gives you more air, but it gives you more dirt aswell. so in longetivity point of view a stock air filter is better.... I would throw a cheap one in and then get a intake, it will make your car sound amazing, give your car better airflow without sacrificing filtration and you wont regret it Im not a fan of the modded airbox either a intake is the way to go.
