Intake filter recommendations!!!!

umm, K&N and AEM are completely different designs...

K&N makes AEMs filters. at least last i knew they did

Is fram really that bad? or is it just because its sold at Kragen/Autozone/Pep Boys?


I use Fram oil filters and not a single problem from them.

fram filters are very cheaply made with a paper filtration system. most oil filters use this design, but frams filtration sucks.

Uni makes foam filters.

but first, is your current filter washable?

On a Y7, I'd just wash it then test it with a leaf blower. If it falls apart when you go WFO on the leaf blower then, it is not washable and you can spend your money on a new one. If it flows freely, then you're good to go and can save your money for your DOHC swap.

then why give a s**t about the filter right now? f**k dude, save your money and get the swap already.

Because I still want to care for the motor and not treat it like trash. When I end up selling the car, I dont want to sell it swapped.
My current filter looks old and beat up, also when I get the swap, I can re use the filter.

Oh, and does getting the 9" AEM filter offer any benefits over the 5" version?

???

Get a K&N and just make sure you maintain it.
