Would You rather have k&n or Accel
i just got my car and i checked the air filter... its kinda dirty... i have an acell foam filter with metal mesh inside...
i was wondering if a k&n Filter would work better or worse... so basicly its clean the acell or buy a new k&n for 21$.... give me your opinion on whats better to do

Unless the Accel filter is reusable, then change it out with a K&N. You can clean it forever and it'll pay for itself eventually!

Yeah, that Accel filter has foam on the outside to catch "big" pieces, but inside, it's like a K&N. I'd go for the K&N; for no other reason than it's more widely used. You don't really need a foam element filter, unless you're taking that car off-roading!
