K&N air filter panel 33-2060

Hey guys,

I need some advice on whether anyone else has experience with this, and whether it fits with no problems at all. I also heard this doesn't affect insurance as it's just a swap out, only difference being you don't need to replace it, just clean it.

The general impression I've got of them from reading up on them on here is that they're expensive for they are. Performance wise you won't see much or anything at all. And they are called a performance part so it probably will affect your insurence. Apparently Green Cotton are slightly better for performance. If it's just because you don't want to replace the existing paper filter, it may work out a tad cheaper over the years, but I don't think that's what they're designed for.

I wouldn't bother as it will make no noticeable difference.

-almost no gains
-very expensive
-very bad filtering
-very oiled (K11 tb's are known for being fragile)

Choice is quickly made.
