I always hear so much about the K&Ns for the TPI cars but not for a regular car. I have a 305 HO with the dual snorkle intake system. So is it worth it or is this NAPA Gold air filter good enough?

I would definately go with it, they won't give you 15 hp like they claim, that's only on like 500 hp cars, but they are reusable.

I agree. The thing I noticed more on my LG4 was the improved throttle response, though.

Ya, My LO3 benefited ALOT from a K&N, so ya they are good for maybe 5hp, but throttle response is very noticable.

Honda engines ROCK, I have one on my lawn mower but I still have to push it.

 

Do it absolutely.

And so it shall be done

 

Don't do it. You'll get more air flow, but you aren't getting the best filter to protect your engine (as good as paper, but not best).

AMSOIL oiled foam filters flow as well as K&N, but catch smaller particles. About the same price.
