Recommended air filter

[mrjcarter]

Buying my bits for a service and a bloke and work swears by buying a k&n air filter for the siggy.
I've always had a standard one but are they worth the price? Opie oils had them on offer at 44quid

Cheers for the replies..
As its my first time changing it what size torx is it to get the 4 screws out?

Think MCM did a video on filters, and the genuine ones were just the same as the performance ones, just didn't sound as good.

But my car sounds like a tractor anyway (According to mum...), so not fussed about sound

They did! They used a red R34 Skyline.

i had a piper cross in my signum. Oil coated the maf and ruined the way it ran. Sorted the maf with a dusting of contact cleaner and was better than before! Went straight back to the oem filter!

I went for a ram air induction, if you go on the site you can get any size silicone pipe with lots of adapters and bends, plus you can get any size cone filter to suit your needs, I went for a 180mm long x 150mm wide cone with a 90mm pipe ( I already had an adapter for the maf)

Runs and sounds amazing for 44 quid next day delivery
