K&N Air Filter?

The reason the manufacturers don`t use an open cold air intake is due to drive by standards (decibles). the OEM restrictive intake is good for what the manuf wants. quiet low cost air intake with cheap drop in filters for the owner that doesn`t know how to open a hood (yes I know that`s a oxymoron). but that is the reason they don`t offer a cleanable type filter, it would never get cleaned so they make it idiot proof. same with the factory PCM tune, it is designed for the idiot that doesn`t know a thing about a car other than where to put the key! then you have the people that are into cars and know how they operate and take care of them on a regular basis.

there is nothing wrong with a K&N if you take care of it!
