Which one??

mpower03 · 11-04-2008, 06:30 PM

I am debating if i should buy the afe intake or put a k&n drop in filter? I don't know which one to choose. I want a sound difference, but i don't want it to make performance worse. By the way i have a rpi scoop already installed.
Please help me out on this decision!!! Thanks

What about an aFe or BMC drop in? I like the drop-in idea but not K&N.......

i dk... i really want a sound difference and i don't think that i will get that from a drop in. right?

What's wrong with the K&N Drop in? MAF damage?

Ive heard the power difference of the stock paper filter to a dyno proven filter such as BMC was 2 or 3 HP,
You wouldn't even feel it, Id leave it stock

Subjectively, both the aFe and BMC filters appear to be better constructed. I have used K&N in the past but feel there are better filters out there.
