Default K&N VS. HKS air filter



Which one is better? K and N or HKS

1. Which air filter allows more air to the engine ?
2. Which air filter is easiest to maintain ?
3. Which air filter is most reliable and popular ?

Plan to combine it with the joez intake pipe.

I've had both, and I prefer the HKS filter by FAR over any oiled cotton gauze filter. Cleaning the K&N involves a pretty messy process, and reoiling it with too much oil will damage the MAF sensor. However, to clean the HKS filter, you just throw the foam pad into the cloths washer.

Neither will increase air flow significantly.

Sounds like a good filter... doesn't K&N now make a dry filter?
