So I plan on putting a cold air intake on my Monte but need to save the cash 1st....in the meantime should I even bother with a K&N air filter? DO they make that much of a difference? Thanks in advance.......

 

If you planning on getting a CAI, then just save the $50bucks and put it toward your CAI. You will not feel any difference in the seat of your pants with just the filter.

 

The benefits of the K&N filter is that it filters a little better, and you clean it instead of replacing it. So if you were to just keep the standard air filter forever (and never go CAI) you will save some money in the long run.

But skip it and go for the CAI

 

Okay cool, that's what I was wondering. Thanks a lot......

 

I myself am not a fan of K&N. even though you can clean them, they get clogged after awhile and have to be thrown away. the best option is to just shorten up your stock air box and to remove any pieces of restriction.

 

exactly what has been said, just get a good wix filter for now, it will work just as good, until you get your money saved up to buy your intake

 

So your not a fan of the airfilters or the cold air intakes wottreng?

 

no im just saying that cold air intakes are expensive and not all cracked up to what they say they do. I used to have a fuel injection car and i tried cold air kits and all those aftermarket stuff and I tried building my own intake out of 3 inch plumbing pipe and i found that worked best. Just saying building it yourself is better than off the shelf. but definitely run a air filter.

 

personally id go with the CAI. i noticed a big diference in sound and a lil pick up. it also cleans up the engine bay. ive had mine for about a year does anyone know how often your suppose to clean them?

 

go with the CAI i made my own but im into that stuff, but save the money & buy a CAI instead of a K&N filter
