Air Filters - OEM (Paper) vs Lifetime Air Filters (K&N)

[fireice2]

Gamit ko AEM para sa Rio ko. Better than stock filters ang performance based dun sa mga tests results na shared sa BITOG. Yun lang mas restrictive konti yung filter. Dry filter na washable.

Sa montero naman K&N, wala kasing AEM para sa montero/strada or pajerosport/L200/Triton sa ibang markets.

i would still go for the OEM Paper style...

Per dyno result ng OEM paper style and K&N filter, less gain pa sa horsepower yung K&N compared sa OEM paper type. Subcompact from Daihatsu yung test car nila.

Here's a link to TDI forums' take on K&N-type air filters.

"Cold-air intakes" and "high-flow air filter" FAQ - TDIClub Forums

It might be a different banana for gasoline engines as a leaner AFR should get you more power at the risk of knocking if the ECU doesn't adjust fueling and ignition timing. For diesels you can only get more power with a richer AFR so without a way of adjusting fuel there's no point. If your goal is to run your diesel cleaner and leaner for emissions sake, all the dirt K&N lets into the intake defeats whatever increase in airflow you get.

Oem. Its cheap. Pwede din replacement na paper filter. Dont need the improved power sa traffic dito. Besides ok na ang power ng 2.4 liter engine most of the time.
