filter for SLP lid what filter would you guys suggest for a SLP lid?
I've seen a few ppl saying stay away from K&N? to me thats always been the better filter...
they say the oil on it or some **** messes up the flow and to find a different filter...
what do you guys reccomend? because for my mustangs its always been K&N

the only problem that i have heard about with any of the after market filters is once people clean them they tend to over oil them which then screws with your MAF. i have been running a K&N since i bought my car in 01 and haven't had any problems. just watch with the over oiling.

Also want to know what filter! Because I tried a K&N and Holley powershot and both don't fit the lower air box. One side fits then the other side falls in. Can't get both sides to overlap. The factory Fram fits fine. Any suggestions? Would the Fram air hog fit like the factory paper filter Fram?

They all fit, get whichever is cheaper-I was afraid of overoiling the K&N-i probably did, but it made no difference because it dries out easily theres nothing to wory about with these filters i feel.

i have the SLP lid with the K&N and it fits like crap the filter was in the stock airbox when i bought the car. when i changed to the SLP i found bugs ,grass and dirt inside the box from the filter not fitting properly. even had a few bugs stuck in the MAScreen Are there any better fitting filters out there? i'll give up 1 or 2 hp for a better fit

If you don't like Fram try the AC Delco

i bought a powershot about a year and a half ago. If i had to do it again, id stick with paper filters. Its kind of a pain in the *** to oil and having to worry about over oiling.

they say you can do it up to 50K before you see a loss in performance-but thats BS I would do it atleast every 10-15K at most 25 but that is the VERY ABSOLUITE MOST thats ridiculously long time.I have no fitment isssues either
Now SLP sells a K&N filter for our cars and there was something i read about putting the lid in with it pressed on the Airlid and lower the lid onto the Airbox-The filters are made for our cars
