K & N Air Filters?

[BrokWoods]

Hey guys i have a VN S1 and everyone is telling me to get a K & N filter.

Just wondering what the 'Benefits' are?

Cheers guys.

Supposedly better airflow and it's washable. Waste of time on a 6 really and your looking at around 100 bucks last I checked. I got a Lukey filter which was cheap and did the same job.

Assuming it's a 6 , check out the Mace CAI , which is an enclosed intake , with a pod filter from saas from memory .

swapping from a paper filter to a K&N will do 2/3's of #### all (other than making your wallet lighter)

It might make your engine breath better if your stock filters blocked or dirty. Like said above any aftermarket re-washable filter will do K&N,BMC,UNI or what ever if you got the coin then grab one you might get a kw or some induction noise great for a placebo effect.

I am also sure from memory that it is an SAAS filter

Yes, it is a SAAS filter, oil free to stop sensor contamination, unlike K&N, and far cheaper to replace when you need to.

Thanks guys, saved me a bit of coin :beer chug:

Like wraith said, I went with Lukey airfilter myself and works as good as the K&N, Swapped filters with a m8 for a couple of weeks and was basically the same (In my opinion) but my mate swears by it..

ok guys id have to say u dont really need a k & N filter, its only to make ur car breath fresh air and not bad air into ur engine. id only stick with ryco air filters and oil filters as they are very well known to all mechanics and do just the same as all those big brands out there in the market. POD filters only bring out hot air in ur car which isnt very good as ur engine needs to keep at its peak when cool and nice stable level.
