Is there a big difference between K & N and Comptech filters? Is it worth it? Thanks,

I wanna know too..

Shoof don't you have a drop in filter?

 

last i checked, the comptech filter was a dual layer foam filter which cannot be cleaned and the K&N was a cotton mesh filter which can be cleaned and reoiled...

 

HAHA98, Do you have one? Or anybody else who has one, please let me know along with others, thanks! Eager to find out.

well i have a K&N drop-in in my Diamante and it works well...it has saved me some bucks instead of buying the factory paper filter adn has also increased my horse power...definately go and buy a drop in filter, i'd go comptech myself...i like the foam better...

 

I just got my K&N drop-in. I haven't put it in yet but it gave 4 HP to the wheels on the new Maxima.

I will give you my opinion on it as soon as I put it in.

 

I do have the Comptech drop in...Sound wise, there's a little more hiss at idle, and a drop noiser at WOT(don't hear it anymore cuz the comptech exhaust overwhelms that sound now) It's said to free up a bit of power, it probably does, but nothing special, like 1-2 hp.. I plan on removing that resonator under the airbox, to free up some more power soon.

The comptech filter can be cleaned... I have cleaned it already... you simple spray on this cleaner stuff, let it sit, and just wash it off witht he hose, and off goes all the dirt..then u re-oil it again, and massage it into the foam, let it absorb and sit for a bit, then drop it back in, that's it!
