    Default k&n panel or pod filter?

    just wondering what most of you guys who have changed your air filter have gone with. standard panel filter (k&n) or a pod filter (k&n).

    any comments about them?

    I believe(Please correct me people if I am wrong....) ALL exposed pod filters are illegal on the road.

    K&N panel flows better than a K&N pod if you want a good pod buy a wildcat version they flow better than a K&N panel

    All it does is look different.
    I can't justify spending $100+ on a K&N filter. Purely for bragging rights.

    Either K & N or lukey one, either way it's good. It's a little bit better but as said above, nothing to notice on stock.
