Which Air Filters To Purchase?
All,
I sent my ECU finally out to be flashed (Will discuss this more later) however I was pondering which type of air filters I should go with. The choices seem to be either K&N, BMC, and Evosport. Does anyone have any input previous history with using these products as I feel with the tune finally opening up the throttle bodies on my car I will ge the best use out of a good pair of air filters since I also removed my charcoal filters. I appreciate everyone's input!

I have Evosport aka The Euro Box top part of intakes and BMC filters. I put them in at the same time with the flash and can feel a little difference. Car feels more peppy and less throttle delay....
also - my parts are for sale =)

I have a set of K&N filters, paid like $110 for both from Autozone. Did a 2500 miles round trip two weeks ago and reported a gas mileage improvement of aboput 1.5-2 mpg. Honestly, I can't tell the difference on power but I am sure I gained something since I also removed the charcoal filters.
Either way I think is worth buying them.. Good luck!

I have the BMC filters and what I noticed immediately is the better throttle response and the crisper/harder feel of shifts as the motor engages the next gear, just seems there is less lag as the car gets into the next gear.
