Default F-Sport drop in air filter from Sewell

Any potential benefit from using this? I've always used K&N type CAIs in the past. I do not want a CAI in the 2is. Thanks

There is no CAI for 2IS unless you make your own custom one. The F-Sport drop in by itself is pretty good, the tube and lower box is what gives it the sound and performance though if anything.

There's benefits from using aftermarket filters, you could probably get away with just getting the Blitz, Tom's, or HKS drop in filter and be fine too.

I have always used the Blitz Drop in Filters because they are dry & not oiled..

This is the one you want.

If you clean it every few thousand miles they should last 30-50k miles or so.

Peace of mind thinking you have a higher quality air filter, and it's reusable, lasts longer.

Best advantage, to say you have an Aftermarket Filter!

The performance gain is so minimal ~1% at most, usually 0.5%, so you won't really notice it. I did notice a slight change in intake sound near redline though if that accounts for any reason to buy.
