get a K&N filter so that you can clean it in the future instead of replacing.

Your dealer is more than an hour away???

San Diego isn't an hour away from Temecula and there must be 10 dealers there

get a K&N drop in filter. Call up a Kragen Auto Parts, they usually carry them or can get them in rather quickly.

Since you live in Temecula, you're less then an hour from Mexico...I'm sure they've got BADASS aftermarket stuff in Tijuana!

- GKS
- MaSdazpeed
- Racing Heat
- Just some cool examples of stuff you can get instead of this K&N...

Anyone use Green air filters? How does this compair to the K&N ? Are they fairly the same or is there a big difference in performance?

I have a green air filter. Not much of a differnce in performance. Does sound a little bit louder compared to the OEM filter. Overall Im happy with it was only like $50 so it doesn't hurt the pocket.

Mazdatrix

got my K&N air filter at Mazdatrix in Signal Hill. None of the stores (kragen, autozone, napa) around me didn't carry it, and needed special ordering. anyways, works great!
