Hey guys,
Im new to being a member here but have used your site for countless pieces of information so I thought I would join. Just bought a cold air intake from local holden dealer and have installed it, my next challenge is which air filter to buy. I was going to get a K&N but a guy form work told me to just make my own out of a wire frame and a stocking. Currently Im using a wire frame with 4 layers of stocking, and honestly I am impressed there is no restricition on air flow at all and it made a considerable difference to throttle response and acceleration. Also I have a backup plastic mesh covering the intake hose in the box above the filter in case the stocking flies off and tries to go straight into my engine. Now I know people say that dust and crap will get into my engine but I dont drive in dusty conditions, and cmon $85 for a K&N, I got my entire CAI setup for a mere $65. And the olnly difference between a stock air filter and a K&N is that K&N is high flow, but my stocking will be way more high flow. Just want to know what you guys think....
