Here are some comparison photos and a little math for your viewing pleasure. I might mention that you can SEE THROUGH the K&N, down in the folds.
This particular part fits a 2003 MB C320 Kompressor coupe. The K&N has 128 square inches of filter media, the Mann has 1752 square inches! That's over THIRTEEN TIMES the filtering area! Attached image(s) |

I agree with Krusty,
Read the article that K&N puts out, it's on their site. It says that their filter's are only 80% effient, and are for racing applications only, like engines that will be torn down often!! I would rather use something that does what I'am paying for it to do, like actually filter 100% of the crap out before it sand blasts the insides of my engine. It's good, when you have to replace your filter, it's doing it's job. People who use K&N filters for the street are turning their engines into expensive Vacuum cleaners. Anyone with a K&N filter want to drive up and down my street? Because the street cleaners are on stike and it's starting to look like a beach out there. Sandy! Just my 2cents westgl |
