Yes it's important... that's like asking if a head gasket is important.

Not needed at all?


2 vastly different opinions for sure. The mechanic at the dealer said if it makes me feel better, use it.........

Why run an aircleaner if you're going to have an area where it can suck in unclean air?

it depends on what air cleaner you run. if you run a k&n or that type you don't need it. the k&n filter will let more dirt in your engine than that missing gasket. so there's no point
if you run a good air filter I say yes you need it because you care about your engine.

If K&N is not good what is a good one?
