i dont wanna change my stock air box but, i do want a reuseable air filter. i've read online different things about filters that use oil can mess up air mass sensor and non oil filters dont filter enough. can anyone shed some light on this subject for me as to which kind and brand to use?

most people here use the K&N air filter. I personally use it. I;ve heard that before but I think that it is a myth. I havent had any problems.

I've got the K&N drop in also. I had heard that before about oiled filter messing sensors and non not filtering enough. Honestly, I don't think K&N would be such a well known name if there filters didn't work well and/or messed up your sensor. I would guess that any oil filter could be bad if you over oiled it, but the instructions for K&N are pretty clear on how to maintain your filter.

I have a HKS filter. Its made of foam and its dry. Used the same filters even back in the days with no probs with all my hondas.

This is the second car I have used a K&N on. I don't know about anyone else, but I have never had a problem as far as the MAF goes. That's following the directions concerning cleaning and oiling. It’s possible that over-oiling the filter could affect the MAF.
I have also never noticed any difference in power by adding the K&N, contrary to K&N's advertising. I suspect this is because the restriction in the air intake system is in the air box, and not the filter.

Been using the K&N Drop-In filter for about 6 months, no problems watsoever.
Used a K&N cone filter in my old Maxima for 2 years without a hitch and cleaned and re-oiled twice. For the GS, I noticed a slightly deeper growl at WOT, more noticeable at night. For power increase, I would have to say its gives increased throttle response.

For your oil concerns, I usually re-oil generously to say the least. You have to be a retard to oil it to the point to where it damages your MAF. It would have to be soaking wet. This mod pays for itself in no time. The recharger kit only costs like 15 bucks and you can use it up to 4-5 times at least.

all the above comments got me sold on the K&N drop in, rather than dealing with the not smog legal SRT for $400-500. Anyone got recommendations on places to buy the K&N drop in?

yea i just put my k&n in and no problems after 3k...about messing the maf depends on if u drown the filter in the oil that comes with the recharge kit....by far the best bang for the buck
