The K&amp;N is a paper filter, we recommend the weapon R Foam Filter. &nbsp;The AEM Intake as well as the other intakes can be purchased here:

ummm, last time i checked K&amp;N was best known for their steel mesh/cotton gauze serviceable air filters &nbsp;that flow better than foam or paper, but don't pick up as much airborne contaminants.

they actually aren't that spectacular over other filters of the same filtration ability. &nbsp;There really is no way to get better filtration with better flow at the same time. &nbsp;I'd suggest a massive cowl induction on your hood and a straight shot to the turbo. &nbsp;Just keep the turbine impellor blades sharp and they will chop up any debris.

We have tried this test many times. Ã‚Â*We make custom intakes for cars that are not so high in demand. Ã‚Â*We have used foam filters on some of these older model cars and a check engine light pops up and the engine doesn't run smooth, the code shows too much air. Ã‚Â*So we put on a paper filter and the check engine light goes away. Ã‚Â*This has happend quite a few times, which shows the foam filter allowing more air flow. Ã‚Â*I also state that the foam filters better, because when putting the paper filter up to a light you can see pretty large sized holes, (The holes are still pretty small, but you can see straight through the filter) when you place the foam filter up to a light you can not see out the other side, meaning the filter has more fine holes.
