would it be worth it to buy a 60 dollar k and n air filter instead of the regular 15 dollar one, just wondering if it would really make a little difference in performance or be worth teh money

 

I purchased K & N filters for many of my cars....your not going to see a big gain in power....but it will help your gas mileage out alittle and also it lasts forever....

 

thats a question up to you. a one time $60 = 4x $15.

air filters should be changed every 7500 (if you live in dusty or do off-roading) to 15000 miles.

 

Are you planning on modding the stock airbox at all?
How long are you planning on keeping the car for is also something to consider.
I bought my K&N and used it for maybe two months at most and then changed to the Redneck CAI. I think it's still in my "car cabinet" in the garage if you're interested make an offer.

 

thats alirght dirt, just getting some info on it, i might invest in it though when the current one is no good anymore, thanks for the offer though

 

oh and im not thinking of changing the stock box, just keeping it the way it is, i saw the k and n and didnt really know what the difference would be

 

there wont be a big difference honestly, but it will save you money- especially if you live in dusty areas and a little bit in gas- maybe 1MPG.

 

hey that 1MPG can go a long way haha, especially on a tight budget

 

This is true... When I first got my car I was ecstatic to see a 1MPG gain as my average fuel economy was 16-17 MPG. Fortunately it has risen to 19-21 MPG combined now- which is still on the low side though.

 

for drop inn filter (k & n ) theres a lil' diffrence, lil' bit of hp's. and yes your gas mil. will go up....esp. open air element intakes, reason is : the volume of air is getting proccesed by your computer, and heck computer see's a large vol. of air. which means needs more fuel to mix 50/50 combustion. and if you take it easy w/ your pedal, everything should be in smooth operation. but if you wanna drop that heavy foot to hear the roar of a savage beast, then good luck and save more money for your gas.
