K&N........ better filtering, plus the outer seams/seals on foam filter eventually seperate from the filter.

I'm still running the BAHA Filter. I have the K&N to fit the Vararam but haven't gotten around to installing it.

Not to highjack the thread but was wondering how much more restrictive the K&N is over the BAHA???

Not very restrictive at all. In fact, it doesn't filter at all. Check this.

I just got my vararam two days ago and just plan on wearing out the crappy foamy thing they call a filter and then replacing it with a K&N.

Baja filter that came with it.

It is the best fitting filter for the Vararam box and probably every bit as effective from a filtering standpoint as the cotton gauze K&N filter.

Baja filter that came with it. I also have the K&N filter but I haven't installed it yet because everything is still clean after my intake.
