K&N filter is horrible and I wouldn't recommend it. The K&N filter has to be cleaned and oil has to be applied. That oil for some reason kills our MAF. I wouldn't recommend K&N to anyone.

Cant recall exact numbers, but a couple years ago I bought mine through Amazon (which included free shipping). Saved about $15 total over the next cheapest store/site

dont be a tard when you clean/reoil it and there will never be any issues. I left mine out for a day before installing just to be sure they werent over oiled originally.

There have been ZERO cases of the filter causing any issues unless the owner had over oiled it themselves. They need to be re-oiled every 50-75K or so and they flow extremely well.

We have used them on every car we've done and have had ZERO issues.

As for the price: $58.00 shipped!

Interesting, I swear I read 5 threads on how people screwed up their cars with the K&N. I guess Driver error huh? :-)

I can do way cheaper then $55.00 each for the C240.

$87.00 shipped for the pair to the USA, 102.00 for Canada.
