Don't bother then. if you want performance, look into a full Titanium Arata exhaust with a PCIII. changing the air filter does JACK SQUAT for performance.

While I tend to agree with you there, how do you feel about spending all that money on a full Arata exhaust combined with the restrictive airflow stock air filter? You state it does nothing for performance, but yet an aftermarket performance air filter, such as the K&N allows for a more "open" air system, which allows more air intake into the engine, thus allowing the engine to create a more open airflow, increasing HP. Although not much at all, still it allows the engine to get a more equal intake/outflow.

I run a K&N. Never have to replace it. Just clean and oil. I figured it would save me a little money on paper filters over time.

They flow the same. K&N is reusable, thats the benefit. If you want better air flow buy some carbon fiber race intakes.

yea mang...that's why if you go on some sites with PC3 maps...you'll find ones that say...blah blah blah exhaust and stock or K&N filter.
if you want flow, run NO filter...not recommended though...

word. no filter = bad mojo... but hella flow!
K&N filters aren't worth it, they don't free up horsepower, and actaully allow larger/more particles to pass through the filter.
again, BUY A FULL EXHAUST SYSTEM if you want power. Arata Makes the most powerful. 2Bros makes an OK one, but TBH Hamaguchi makes a MUCH better one.
