    Better air flow comes from a clean one................doesn't matter which one. I just went with a washable electrostatic one because I like the electrostatic fresh air smell after washing and recharging it.

    in the end, it really doesnt matter which filter you use, its not like its air tight around the edges. It keeps most large particulates from entering your system, like pine needles and such. It reduces a lot of the finer particulates, but its not like its a system which needs overthinking. Just put a clean one in twice a year and move on, whichever brand you choose

    This was my reason as well. The KN filter last the life of the truck. My cabin filter gets clogged relatively quickly so I was going through 2 a year. Now I can just pop it out, hit it against the tire a few times and put it back in.

    I buy the cheap tyc ones from rock auto. I also rinse them out with water and hang them up to dry for a day and put then back in. They last about 2 washes.

    I absolutely love the K&N. My job gets a lot of grass/dirt/leaves/bugs in the cabin filter. The K&N lasts 2-5X as long before air flow begins to suffer, and then I just clean it and pop it back in!
