K&N Air Filter

In the previous post it mentions installing a K&N Air filter. I do have one of these in my 2000 Chevrolet Impala LS. Actually this is the fourth car I've had it installed with. I do like them and at the very least they do save you money changing out air filters all the time. Which saves on the environment( a big catch phrase these days). All you have to do is clean them periodically (recharging as K&N puts it). The recharging kit is only about $12 or so (usually) available at your local auto parts store or online. The OEM type fits into normal filter so there is no special installation required . Also before tthere are many misconceptions about this though K&N does say it boosts your horsepower keep in mind that your probably not going to notice much performance gain. I believe they do help and are better than traditional air filters and will save you on gas too. To find out more you can visit the K&N website. Also you can check out this article from About.com . I'll be doing a future article on cleaning them in the near future so stay tuned.
