Have you switched to k&n air filter?
I made the purchase yesterday. Yes they are more expensive..but hoping in the long run to make it worth the extra $$$$$. Was just wondering how many of us made the switch? Did you find it worth it?
I switched due to the fact I swapped intake with RSD model that uses the K & N.
Had SE with Football. Can't tell much difference other than look. Didn't change any of the tuning or map with the filter change and it seems to be running good.

I have a SE dry with a Dry charger cover from K&N.. No oil is the only difference...I don't think the difference in flow from SE to K&N for my type of driving will be that noticeable so i will keep the SE until it is worn out.

Sure have! The one that took two years to make and finally got rid of the micro paper
one. Some have had problems with fit. No problems here and fits like a glove. You
can actually hear the motor sucking more air. You can't go wrong the the K&N products, I
have them in all my vehicles.

I had to choose other because I went with a Doherty because I wanted a Blue one instead of Red since it is exposed. Reusable and oil-able just like the K&N just a little less costly. I have been using K&N's on everything for years though and if it was not for the color this one would be to.

I went with the K&N on my Ventilater when I had my motor built up. Wanted a final tune done with K&N in place....

I've used K&N for years but when they came out with the filter for my SE Ventilator AC, I bought one and it didn't fit. Gave it back to the dealer and when they received more of them, I decided not to mess with them.
