WORKS drop in filter

I was checking out the WORKS site and saw that the filter is like $104 plus like $14 for shipping to a house. Damn isn't the shipping a little high? I heard good things about this filter so I'll probably get it. Did you guys pay $118 for a filter?

I paid $35 for a lightly used K&N. I dont think the works filter is that much better than the K&N to have to pay the higher price, it should be lower for competition. K&N is good because its free flowing, but not enough to mess with the mas. If you want something more than the K&N you can get a cone, its cheaper than works or K&N.

Yeah, but that's used. The Works isn't much more than the K&N new ($70 vs $85), and it claims 25% more surface area. This can be seen when comparing the two side-by-side. It is easy to see how the Works filter has much less surface area wasted on the border material.

Even so, I have the K&N, since I was able to drive 5mins to get it.

Yea I know paying $35 has nothing to do with it, but I dought he will see any gains works vs. K&N. Im just referring to his $118 he said vs. $70 average price ive seen for K&N.

Once could argue that if you're going to buy a panel filter that you might as well get the best one, even if it does cost another $15 (actual price).

It sounds like you selected the option with the service kit. In that case, the fluids do add some additional weight. In the end, we feel the WORKS Air Filter is the best drop-in replacement available and it actually retails for less than the other filter mentioned here

After searching for hours on what the best intake is I think I have decided on the Works drop in.

just got my filter. Let me say fast service! The car definately feels faster now. I use to have an injen w/ the upper ic pipe had it even tuned for it. I would have to agree and say the drop in is the best intake for the car.
