jasol Member 571 Member For: 16y 1m 5d Location: adelaide Posted 30/11/13 11:28 AM Share Posted 30/11/13 11:28 AM Hey guys. I've been told the k&n filters don't really flow much more than a ford one. Is the k&n panel filter needed for around 300kw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they flow sh*t loads more... At a cost of course(hence the oil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars will flow fine with an OEM filter unless there pretty heavily modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
