Default Which to use...

Had a chance to buy several K&N oil filters at a good price. I have always use the AC. Who is using the K&N and does it stack up to the AC? Wondering if it will help with the cold starts and piston slap?

I use them on my 97 Coupe- used them in my 2 previous C4's...Probably one of the best on the market if you ask me...they stack up very well against most HiProf filters today...good quality, good filtering and not paper inside to clog up or fall apart!

my 2 cents...plus I get them for 10 bucks at advance discount auto parts!

I have to agree with that. Piston slap is probably a bad way to express the noise. What I seem to have is that cold crank clicking. Goes away after a minute or so. Thought maybe a K&N might help that issue.
