    Never heard of this brand but it is a paper filter. Really can't mess it up...

    I just buy a few off Rock Auto when I need to order other parts. Can get them super cheap on there and change them whenever they are dirty.

    I personally use oem one from the dealer . I used a fram one once it didn’t last as long as the oem one . Not to mention how cheap in quality the filter was .

    I've gone with the HENGST E1276L, for my 2nd gen, from RockAuto and am very satisfied with the build quality. If they make a 3rd gen filter I'd assume it would be just as good.

    They can cause engine issues due to filter oil seeping into your engine. No Bueno, I consider k&n snake oil, junk

    biggest deal is the large amount of dust that gets past the filter. Many that have ran these and have done oil analysis have result results showing a very high silica content in oil. Silica and oil means dust sand, very small particles are getting past that filtering into the engine.

    The biggest issue is thst people over oil them causing big headaches. Yes they also allow more dust into the engine

    I was careful when cleaning my K&N Filter to let it dry out after applying the "Red" Oil before reinstalling and to not overdue it. I wonder if there is a paper filter replacement for the K&N canister
