Default K&N Air Filter

Just wanted to know if anyone out there is using the K&N Air filter and if it causes any warning lights to come on. Thanks in advance!

Default It shouldn't - but to be safe, buy it and let it sit out in your garage for a day or two, then

install it.

Default Throws dirt

I know some disagree, but my experience with foam aftermarket filters is that they introduce dirt into places where it just don't belong.

It can cost you big wads of money to clean or replace the damaged stuff, all for claimed horsepower gains that are debatable and small even if they are true.

Default Thanks for the input!

Looks like I'll pass on the K&N filter. The car has been feeling weird lately when I drive it. I know nothing is wrong - just something about it. Maybe I should just by a new one.
