I need to replace the filter on my k&n cai Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in a k&n filter and the others like spectra and apc besides price. Thanks

 

A K&N is designed to be cleaned and not replaced. You can get a cleaning kit at most auto part stores.

 

Yea but it is damaged

 

Replace it. K&N's flow better, let more dirt through and clog faster. OEM flow less, filter better and clog slower. There is a thread on this on a Mitsubishi (?) site I saw. Quite an eye opener.

 

Replaced the oem JCW filter with an Amsoil counterpart and couldn't be happier. It has much better air flow at high elevations, uses same technology of the filters on the Abrams tank, can simply be cleaned with a shop vac, price was right and is said to last 100k miles. After four years in service-no problems

 

Here's more info on those filters: http://www.thesuperiorsynthetic.com/filters.html

 

Nice to see Amsoil on board here !
