Air filters.....................................
Is a K&N worth it? :undecided:
I know for long term ownership it costs in with cleaning instead of replacement, but is there any benefit noted with supposed better breathing? Any running / mapping issues?
Pipercross seem another used alternative, but washing and oiling foam filters....... :no:......moved on from that, unless they are well received?
Thoughts appreciated please.
I've used K&N in the past and always found them to be a good product
Can't say that I have any experience of Pipercross :smiley:
I have the pipercross, and I found it improved the engine running. The throttle used to be hesitant at roundabouts and junctions etc, but its almost unnoticeable now. I doubt if it would work for everyone though.
I've stopped running K&Ns. There's a reason they flow more air... They don't filter as well. I used to run them in my vehicles as well. Got rid of them. They flow more air because they don't filter it as well. Vehicles that I ran them on used more oil. Now I will say that I haven't noticed that on the C14 but on the cars I have. I'm sticking with proper paper filters now. And you know, I don't miss that gigantic boost of HP I got from them.
