I popped in a replacement filter..............biggest load of bollocks out there. lost nothing in hp, gained a bit more actually, but I did upgrade from carbs to fuel injection. Plus I lost all the nice noises that came from my vtec.......car pull a bit better though

I threw a drop in, in my mom's 6th gen accord and she's gotten better gas milage out of the car. for a person that knows nothing about that stuff she likes it and has noticed a difference. I got her one so she'll never have to replace her airfilter. she only drives 7000miles a year. she's set for along time. worth the money for her case, imho.

as for the keeping the same car a long time. I can get my stock paper filter for $15. Which lasts 3 years or 60K miles. K&N drop in for my car was $45. That's 180K miles or 9 years. Plus you have to spend money for the filter recharger kit every 50K miles at $15/kit.
Math didn't work out for me.
