Just my opinion, I'd go with the K&N. I say this because they have been around for a while and should have better "customer service" if needed. But they are kinda of pricey. You may want to consider using the factory air filter if you are going to be driving in dusty conditions. I work in the oil field and I heard of people who's turbos where knocked out due to large amounts of dust and dirt being sucked up. That's just my thoughts. Be sure to check with your local service dept. and see what they say about it.

I went back to the stock filter. My AFE PG7 got wet and almost caused me all
kinds of problems. As far as performance, I can not tell any differance.
At least with the stock filter, if I get any water up in it, I do not have to
worry with filter collapse .

The stock air filter is made by Donaldson, a manufacturer of all sorts of industrial filters. I would stay with the factory original if you are in a dusty environment.
