Good price on a K & N ?

[TripleJackInGA]

I got one from Advance for $34.48 plus tax. Is there anyone that sells them significantly lower?

If that's including shipping, take it and run. I paid $42.00 for one including the shipping. It's still in the box awaiting Stage2.

I paid $29.95 for a drop in K&N filter at PT Tuning with no charge for shipping.

Yes, the price was in the store.They had to get it from the warehouse, but that had it delivered to the store by 1PM when I ordered it at about 10:30AM that morning.
I would have checked around the net, like PT Tuning, but I thought I was going to be doing a dyno run that morning.

hey guys and gals check it out.

you can actually get alot of stuff from advance auto parts and most of the time ask for a discount and they will give it to you , most of the time it's 5-10 percent I know i give discounts like that everyday and im a manager for advace.

I wish I understood this fascination with K&N air filters on street driven vehicles. I've always understood that in addition to flowing marginally more air, they pass significantly more dirt. IMHO, it's just not worth it. I've got plenty of experience with K&Ns on race cars, but I'm not going to put all that extra dirt through my turbo, valves and rings. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I think people need to see the whole picture.

Not true. Here is from K&N site "To ensure our air filters provide a high level of dirt protection, we regularly test our air filter designs using the testing procedure described above. Those tests demonstrate K&N air filters generally achieve overall filtration efficiency in the range of 97% - 98%, while some of our air filter designs have achieved levels as high as 99%. The fact that our air filters at times reach overall filtration efficiencies as high as 99% while maintaining high airflow is a testament to the quality and capabilities of our oil impregnated cotton air filter medium.

On occasion we see “new” air filter media’s developed and sold under the premise they provide increased levels of dirt filtration. More often than not, as opposed to quoting specific efficiency numbers, this “increased protection” is described as increased dirt retention capacity, meaning the filter can hold more dirt before requiring replacement. Remember, K&N air filters have always provided a service life in excess of disposable filters and then only require cleaning and oiling for re-use.

We encourage customers to do their homework and be aware of the filtration capabilities of an air filter before they buy. Our own testing has revealed wide differences in filtering capabilities. We were surprised to see some disposable paper air filters with an overall filtration efficiency as low as 93%. We hope we have provided enough information to ensure consumers know what they are getting when they buy a K&N air filter."

Sorry CALCRUZER, but what do you expect K&N to say. I'm more inclined to trust independant tests, I think theres one at the PTDIY site. I'll gladly eat crow if proven wrong, but I also don't get many free lunches.
