    What are you thoughts for an air filter for my stock airbox?

    yeah, the diffrence between my oiled K&N high flow and a stock paper filter is about 75whp.:eek3:

















    na...kidding, it's like .00000005 increase in horsepower at higher rpms....maybe. plus the extra cost in buying one for 35+ dollars AND having to clean it.

    go stock

    You can
    The Perrin foam one worked great, but was greasier than a fry cook's face.
    The K&N one was nice too, no problems with that, but when cleaning, remember not to oil it too much.
    I had both of those but now I have an intake

    Not to mention that the K&N's are proven to remove less particles from the air. Which is, of course, the purpose of having an air filter in the first place.

    Amen.

    Foam filters are the worst.

    Oiled cotton gauze (ala K&N) are a close second worst. I have one on my rallycross car, but only because I had to redo the setup to get the air intake up high. The stock air intake on a B13 Sentra could hardly have been better designed to scoop up water. Funny thig is, a SR20DE with a cracked block, cracked head, one shattered connecting rod and a bunch of bent valves will actually still run! (from personal experience)
