source for K&N drop-in

I actually got mine at Autozone. Price is fairly close to DaliRacing by the time you pay shipping. I think Mark's price was about $10 less.
 
I have one on my car...save your money.nothing better then oem for performance and cleaner throttle body

hk4site, I would be interested in seeing this report. Having owned several K& N filters and knowing their construction, I am very doubtful that a dirty paper filter will outperform a dirty gauze filter. You put the same amount of dust on a paper filter and an oiled gauze filter and the paper filter should become clogged long before the gauze filter. And you can clean the gauze filter as often as you want, so it is the last filter you ever need to buy. Not so with a paper filter.
 
The surface area of a paper is more than the surface area of a K&N...this test was done by someone on the buick turbo forum. Other than to sound I think a K&N does nothing...would you believe a person in a tux's
 
Surface area doesn't tell the whole story. If you are comparing two filters with the same density of weave/pore size, then more surface area equals more flow. But with the highly different construction method, the only reliable comparison is pressure drop curves as a function of volume flow rate. Does anyone have this kind of hard data comparing OEM paper vs. K&N vs Comptech foam? Tests done with brand new clean filters, tests done with after specific volumes of dust have been filtered? I welcome seeing reports from hard data.
