Air Filter

I have a KN filter and after reading an earlier thread, I am thinking I should do something different. My PSD is stock. Can I go with a Kwik filter or should I stick with the factory style or is there something else I should consider?

Thanks, Chad

Why is everyone down on these K&N filters. I thought that they were high performance? What am I missing?

the K&N filters cannot seal the factory box very good, thus excessive dirt enters the engine. Then you get a dusted turbo.

Where can I get a Kwik Filter? I contact NAPA and they had no idea what I was talking about. Part number?

Thanks, Chad
