I know K&amp;N is great quality stuff, but is the extra cost worth it compared to a $8 FRAM filter?

In my climate I changed air filters twice a year. (2 X$8=$16 per year) I will keep my Camry for 10 years (10 years X $16 = $160). The K & N filter was about $50. The recharge spay costs $12 but I get 4 years of refills cleaning the filter twice a year. (2.5 refill per 10 years = $36) Total for K & N for 10 years = $86. Plus my highway mileage with no A/C on with my 4 cylinder Camry went from 28 mpg to 32 mpg with the new filter.

It is really worth it to spend the extra $50 and get the Active AirClean 30 filter which is the best Hepa miele has and the exact same one Miele uses in the higher level models. It fits really tightly and it seals into place with a rubbery thread around the bottom, unlike the one that comes with it. (Although that one is very very good as well.)

NO try Fram CA9367. Or go to NAPA, their silver line filter are reasonable.

I have a John Deere L130 with the Kohler 22 HP V2 engine. The Fram filter was supposed to work on my mower but did not. It looks similar to the OEM filter and the gasket surface is the same but something about the filter makes it leak. When I first installed it it started dripping oil so I thought it was a little loose. I tightened it but it still dripped a little. Then, one day I was mowing and luckily happened to look at the filter area on the engine and saw oil pouring out of it. I shut the engine down just in time thank god. I had bought 4 of the Fram filters (looking to save some money) and installed one of the others with the same result. I thought maybe the first one was defective but in reality I think there's something about the inside of the filter that causes pressure which forces oil out around the gasket. No matter how much I tightened the filter it still leaked. Don't buy the Fram filter, use the John Deere brand instead. If you still want to try the Fram filter keep an eye on it while your mower is running since it will probably leak like mine did. It ended up costing me extra money in lost oil and wasted filters instead of the savings I expected. Fram are good quality filters and I use them on all of my cars but this application is not correct.

Yep. Pricey, BUT the listed price is for the SET. ( Charcoal odor reducer and TRUE Sub-micron Hepa filter) so together, not as costly as some. I bought this model specifically for the micro-micro Hepa AND the pathogen destroying UV light( Like mold spores) Some larger machines can have triple the price filters so I'm good with the AC 4100! I got taken in by the hoopla of a "No filter replacements needed" model but those don't filter at the level I needed. Stuff seems to slip by the "Electrostatic particle catchers" it seems.

I was skeptical too about the F1 Filter. I was amazed at how comparable it was! I didn't know the difference. It fit so snug & was the same quality. I read 1 bad review too and wanted to ask them what the heck they were talking about. I have a Breeze as does a friend & the filters were perfect!

You will not need this for a K & N oil filter. They have a nut / bolt installed at end of filter that you can use a regular wrench or socket to remove.

I have a 2012 iron, put a k and n and also bought a Vance and Hines fuel pack to go along with the new intake. Also had a new exhuast from American custom that is way louder than stock. The three together have made a HUGE difference in power, especially in the low end. If your going to buy it, get the fuel pack to avoid running to rich or lean. That way you get the best power out of your new filter.

I replaced by disposable paper filter with the K &N and immediately noticed the difference in "snottiness". Do not listen to the polaris dealers when they tell you that it voids a warranty, because it allows too much dust past. This is a mear sales pitch of theirs. Think about this your paper element gets muddy or soaked with water its now trash. With a K&N you can clean time and time again. Would you rather throw money away or add some power plus a cleanable reusable filter. I would go with the K&N anytime, for any application.

NC filter protects your more expensive camera lens from damaging dust, scratches, flying debris. Much cheaper to buy another NC filter than have to replace $$ lens.

I think you may have gotten an incorrect or misinformed answer here. They had the 30 gallon Roughneck at my local Northern, they had this same filter system for $20 more. It works great, there is a separate set of brackets for the 30 gallon tank. The same company makes both items, the Roughneck is really a Fuel Chief too.

I reside in CNY and a few Hess stations carry K-1 less than $4/gallon. I have to sign a log stating that I will not use it as a diesel replacement. I am very happy. The K-1 in the big box stores costs $8/gallon.

This allows the air to move more freely. It should last the life of the car. Clean filter use there procedures around every year to year & a half. When you figure out thr cost of a regular filter vs the K & N filter will cost less!

None, after running it for a while, what fealt like a gain was not, dyno showed same results a a drop in performance filter. Also mileage dropped, to 25 mpg from 29 mpg. I recently returned car back to stock, power is the same, fuel economy back up. Only positive thing about this unit is price, and sound. I had the Mopar unit, prior to this, and a K&N; as well, money wise, lesson learned just buy a K&N; replacement filter and save some time and money. On a side note if you are looking for bling and nice tone from engine, then the unit is worth it.

Hi, I wanted to update this info. In looking at all various pricing of these filters, I must say that the quality and price of these, are the best in what's out there!! I'd say that they're worth it!! I change mine often.. I live in dusty Arizona!

Save your money and get this one, I own a K&N; and the results were the same. The stock tubes do the same job.
