    K&N or Not?

    Hey guys. I have a 90 Accord Ex. My question is how do you guys feel about K&N filters? Some people say that they can damage throttle bodies and don't reccomend them. Are K&N filters worth the investment? Thanks in advance, huero.

    imo k&n air filters are the best. i want the one that goes in the stock filter box. they give you better performance but you don't sacrifice the main purpose of the filter which is to clean the air that is going in the engine.

      I used to have K&N Filter on my stock airbox. Used for atleast 30,000 miles. I didn't have any problems. I don't know how can it damage the throttle body.

        My understanding is that on some cars the oil will find it's wat to the throttle body and gum it up. On some cars the throttle body is real close to the filter. I want the filter that goes in the stock box.

              oil goes into the intake manifold on the stock set up. it's going to do it anyway. later.

                Would a drop in K&N stock filter element be better than a cone filter stuck on the stock plastic tubing? Right now I've taken out the resonators using some cheap Canadian Tire brand air filter.

                    actually, with k&n, you do sacrifice actual filtering.

                    the reason why they are the "best" is because they are so unrestrictive that they dont really filter anything.

                    just get any cone filter.

                        K&N stock filter: More low end torque (Good for area with stop and go.)
                        K&N corn filter: More high end torque (Highway driving, high rpm usage)
