I emailed one of the sellers of the Tom's drop in and they stated it was not reuseable. That made me wonder how legit they were. $175 for a filter that needs to be replaced. I was just going to go with the K&N when I heard that. Who do you recommend buying a Tom's filter from?
I'm pretty sure they don't know what the F they are talking about....
I have the K&N intake. Fitment was perfect and I had ZERO warning lights or anything like that. I also had the Joe-Z before the K&N intake. The power gains seem about the same (NO DYNO DATA). The sound of the K&N intake is however more noticeable when you get on it, than the Joe-Z. I also am running the ISS forged exhaust and TOM's throttle controller. The reason I like the K&N, you can see when / if the filter needs to be cleaned. Plus there is more open air surrounding the filter other than stuffed inside of a plastic box. The K&N does include the "wall" to "separate" between the pipe and filter. I think this to try and reduce the heat soak into the filter. I have been happy with it. I have had it for 3 years now.
Agreed. I've had the K&N on my car since it was new and 20k miles later, no issues. Clean it and don't over oil it and you'll be set. Noise from under the hood is much louder now and that's always a good thing
cheapest place to get K&N right now is at AutoShepherd.com
