a lid is a lid is a lid.

Now K&N claim that they flow better DIRTY.

Dont pay money to swap out lids unless it is SOLELY for asthetic purposes.

lids are lids, just go with the one that you like the best.

Better than a clean paper filter supossedly......

Better clean it just to make sure.


Just a tip, after you soak it in cleaner, then wash it till it's clean, go stick it on your A/C condensing unit outside your house. The warm little breeze blowing out the top will dry it out in no time.

Also, when re-oiling it, just spray the side that faces the radiator when installed in the car, it will make it's way farther into the fibers as the car is running. Don't use too much either.
