I don't often review items at all, but when I'm really impressed I allocate a bit of my time to let others know and hopefully they also can benefit from a great product. Initial impression, wow, this is a high quality item (I have other k&n filters on other vehicles, never disappointed). Product made in the USA. Materials are of high quality, especially compared to paper filters. Install was as easy as lower glovebox, open filter compartment, take nasty, flimsy filter out, toss it in the garbage, install new k&n filter and reverse steps taken. Great, already impressed. Ok did the old filter smell go away? Time to turn on the car and test performance. At first I thought, ok it's about the same airflow, but at least the smell is gone. Perfect. Then I realized my fan was on low... Turn it up and get blown back by the jet airflow. I'm not kidding, my airflow improved two fold! And that's not all, these filters are meant to last a lifetime, think about that. You pay about 2x the price initially but never buy a cabin filter for that car again. They're easy to clean too, about once every 25k miles (check what k&n actually suggests for yours) Conclusion. K&N should be the only filter issues by everyone in every car and application. The value of this filter is out of this world. Go high performance, go green, go quality product, go American made, go K&N!
