Let's have a vote

Works

K&N

 

Can't imagine many folks have tried both. I bought the Works and loved it, so I don't really see the need to spend MORE money to try both.

Just my 2 cents...

 

r people picking K&N beacause its cheaperr??

 

I've always thought of K&N as being one of the best at producing air filters. Never heard of works until I came onto this forum but several members here seem to really like it...hence the poll

 

I don't expect many people to have tried both..but was hopingto see maybe a couple of members who tried one, didn't really like it, switched to the other brand and loved it.

 

this filter isnt neww isnt it....its been out for many yearss but just didnt realize that it fit our 08?

 

It's probably more because K&N is one of the top names in air filters.

What are you talking about? You can't just say "this filter" and expect us to read your mind. Both companies are established and have sold filters for many years, yes.

 

The filter from the previous Lancer/EVO will not fit the '08 models, so there's not much to compare aside from a filter that exists and one that doesn't

Based upon the previous versions the WORKS filter has a greater surface area, lighter weight, outflows all others tested (OEM, foam-based and others reusable elements) and captures particles that are measured in microns.

One of the key differences is the fact that WORKS uses cotton fabric with even sized openings. This allows for proper filtration while in use. Others typically use foam and/or a cotton gauze--both of which have uneven openings and have the potential for letting larger particles sneak past the filter element.

 

i have the green filter on my lancer and i noticed a lot more pickup at higher speed with this filter compared to the stock one

my SRI had a better pickup from a dead stop but after 20 kmh it is even. + were getting colt air from the stock set up

 

i mean did K&N just came out with this 33-2074 filter to custom fit our cars?
or was it out all along?
yes i kno both companies have been established for many years.

 

do you get any increase in hp with this drop in?? and how does it compare to say, SRI or CAI?

 

there is an increase in hp for sure....prob not as much as the intakes and also its not as LOUD as the intakes are...most of the time i believe people would choose this over getting an SRI or CAI is because 1. they dont want to mess with the warrenty. 2. because its more descrete. (if they want a sleeper) 3. its cheaperr....
4. it also filters cleaner than intakes normally do.
personally, i'm putting the K&N filter in my lancer.
trusted and LONG established brandd
no disrespect to WORKS though*

 

i just ordered the K&N drop in filter..
part # is 33-2074
cost me $70
gonna put it in tmr

 

I switched to the Works drop-in from a K&N... The oil from the K&N can jack up your MAF sensor... there are a lot of old threads on this... plus the Works filter has more of a surface area, like 20% or so more than the K&N

 

^ interestinggg
