Consider the Pro Dry S filters next time where you can wash them out vs replace with no oil needed and get a little better flow than the stocks. A couple of oil changes can have them pay for themselves.

But yes big difference when you change the dirt collectors!!

Must have been really bad filters.

I felt absolutely no change in my car when I swapped from stock to K&N

@ giovany2429

If you did order these filters, snap a pic of the first fit in the airbox or a snap of old filter and new filter fit next to each other. I want to verify fit vs my older Pro Dry S filters in my car.

Thanks
