Save your money and keep your stock filter. The stock filter is much better quality than K&N. Let the Honda boys have the K&N's
Very few have downgraded to K&N

I had a K&N on my last Oldsmobile, recommended by a brother-in-law who told me I'd get better fuel economy. I did not, and the oil on the filter ruined an air sensor in the engine's intake. So, my advice is to avoid them and stick with the stock paper filter.

No reason to use one unless you want to destroy your engine. The stock paper filter flows plenty of air and is cheap/low maintenance. Why use some aftermarket junk in place of a setup that German engineers came up with?

The K&N flows less and filters less then the OEM filter, and holds less dirt before its flow gets restricted. It is worse in every regard.
