Hey guys, quick question. Which filter would flow more air on my open element:
A 2 1/2 inch high K&N filter, or a 3 inch high Fram filter? I have both and was wondering which would be better. Also, I would like to tell you that if you have never adjusted your TV cable, you should definitely do it. I had always felt my tranny shifted sluggishly, and what a difference it made to get it properly adjusted. It's a whole lot more fun to drive.

most paper filters flow comparable to what a k&n flows as long as its not one of those really thick ones go with the fram

See for yourself.

Personally I think K&Ns are not worth the money.

Use up the paper one and then try the K&N since you already have both. Then you can compare the differencs. I use K&N in evrything I own.

Hey, K&N came in second in that flow rate thing. Who is Wix?

 

Wix makes filters for just about anything. The ones that proved better are used in NASCAR. But you too can buy them. Look around the internet. I saw a site not too long ago that sells the same exact Wix filters tested and it is cheaper then K&N by like 15 bucks, however they're not reusable.

 

Thanks Blown, i will look into that.

15 bucks cheaper, but not reusable? no way in hell. 20 cfm isn't worth that much to me.
