Get WIX or OEM. I showed the differences in a thread a while ago between the Wix Puralotor and K&N. OEM/Wix had the highest number of folds == most amount of surface area. The k&n had the lest number of folds == least amount of area. How are you going to pass more air and less dirt with the least amount of surface area?

I'm sure you could find a round type with a 2 - 2.5 - 3" mouth that would seal well on the tube. That's what I'm doing, for now...

My intake tube is 3". Did you just plug the other end of the round filter?

Plug what end? You must be thinking of round like what the stock setup uses. I'm talking about ones that are cylinder shaped.

Untrue. If I was going to keep my 95 for a long time, why wouldn't I buy ONE air filter for it??? Or I can buy 10 paper ones? And throw them away when done. K&N makes sense for a car you'll keep for a while. For the economy of it, not for the performance. My CHevelle is faster with an AC filter by a tenth. Clean paper flows best., Everyone already knows that. |

I'd rather buy 100 paper filters before letting a K&N on my engine. It's part of normal maintenance and you only have to do it once a year.

If my labor for cleaning the filter were free, and I thought that the K&N did as good of a job as a paper filter, I'd have one on my car.
Turns out that I value my labor quite highly. I can buy two paper filters for the time it takes to clean the K&N once. |

I tried to send you an email -- I have a cone filter setup I just removed from my car. Drop me a PM if the email didn't make it through.

This says it all: "I'd feel better about it if I couldn't see so much daylight through this filter though." |

Does your car have a MAF? I poorly oiled K&N will kill a MAF.

Clean and re oil a K&N what 20-30 minutes? Screw that my time is worth more.

oil bath filter
what is the method used to make the oil bath setup refered to ? I have a 54' GMC pick-up that came with one as standard and they claimed that an oil bath air cleaner was the most effective type there was ---and the research is only 53 years old. But the idea of a permanent filter is appealing if it really is effective. how about an oil bath prefilter andthen the stock paper set up too, maybe only have to change the paper every two years...
