I had KN and went to the standard basic. KN had a maintenance oil type spray much higher costs (You never have to replace) . . . and given most Vette duty is NOT on dusty roads or even 12k miles a year, why go through the pain. And they don't look that great . . . not a stock look . . . from the one I purchased. It's now sitting in the box my std filter came in.

Thanks all........

bluedawg: sorry I'm not clear, what I mean is, what is the best buy:
Paper
Woven Fabric
Cotton Gauze
Synthetic

By best buy, I mean is there a HP benefit paying more $ for a air cleaner.

I can go to 3" like I do today.

Street Use - WIX P/N 42095
They filter well, they flow well and they are less than $10.00!

Track Use - WIX P/N 46945R
This filter flows over 1000cfm. (not for street use)
