Default "Green Filter" air filters

Anyone use these? Are they better than/ as good as K&N? Any opinions?

Yeah, I remember reading that. I just wondered if anyone had any personal experience with them. Is it true that K&N filters have a problem sealing in the stock airbox? (Ran into this problem on other cars...)

Depends on how thick the *woven* cotton is that Green Filter uses. K&N and others use cotton gauze, 4 or 5 layers. I think the woven cotton idea is better, as long as they use enough thickness that you can't see pin head size holes letting light through when you hold it up to a light bulb, like you can with a K&N and some other layered gauze filters :eek:

I'd probably buy a Green Filter before I'd buy another K&N type. Or I'd just use OEM.
