Is it worth buying a K&N air filter to replace my OEM one?
Feb 20, 2008 by Mikey | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Is it really worth ВЈ40 when an OEM paper one costs less than ВЈ10?
Are there any performance gains or other reasons I would want one other than just to avoid having to buy OEM filters again every year?
Its just a filter
it's cheaper to just use OEM filters in the long run as any fuel savings or performance gains from the K&N is negated by the price of them and then even though they are a lifetime filter you still have to buy a cleaning kit for them that retreats

When ten million of tons of building, mixed with 91,000 liters of jet fuel, collapse into a smoking heap, an incredible variety of pulverized materials rise into the air. Though no one took samples of the plume that rose up from the World Trade Center on 9/11, samples of the dust that filtered down in the following days and gas emanating from the pile have given a glimpse of what rescue workers and others breathed in
