    I have k&n drop in filter...the reason I like afe is because they have a pro dry filter...uses no oil...easier maintenance... in the end its what you are use to..but I'm ready for a change...feel like the K&n was meant for the desert running vehicles ...and their engines are always being rebuilt so often...not because of air filter but just for performance...feel as its over kill and possibly more room for error.

    Some vehicles it is a waste. Some vehicles it isn't. On these engines, and with the Airaid, AFe Stage 2, URD, or TRD gen 1, they improve power output.
