Which air filter?
Which air filter would you people say is the better replacement for my 2000 A4, K&N or Fram air hog? Or does it even matter?
Thanks in advance for the imput.

I'd get a Blackwing or Stinger - but that is just my opinion.

Unless your going to install an aftermarket filter system seems like just replacing the ACDelco is a very good alternative. I've had a K&N drop in, WIX and Delco, and honestly can't tell the difference. Have seen some recent articles on the forums that the ACDelco provides best airflow and protection.

Filters better than K&N and such (been proven, search) You not going to get 10hp from a panel filter. Maybe 5 from a blackwing type, but is it worth the 300 smackers, you decide.

unless your engine is highly modified, the only significant change you'll get with the oiled filters in more sand thru your engine. I went with the std. Fram CA3914

I have a K&N, Z06 airbox that I drilled out even more, and a smooth air coupler. Having done all that, I wish I'd just gotten the Halltech Stinger. What I have isn't bad, but I bet for the $ or close to it I could have had the Stinger.
