Currently have a factory 914-6 air cleaner on the 3.0 in my 74 conversion. Question for the group is which system breathes better, the factory system or the K&N filters? I like the look of the two filters with the watershields but if the factoy system is better performance wise I guess I should stick with it? Please advise.

I take it you are running Webers with rain shields, etc. I like them over the K&N filters. You nailed it; the looks and the sounds. K&N are good but I prefer the original look and sound. Some people prefer one over the other but I think they are each about equal and have certain advantages/disadvantages.
I am running Motronic injection on my 1987 3.2 Carrera engine and it has a K&N filter system on it. The original setup is about the same as K&N in terms of performance, protection, etc. I just like the K&N looks and have more room around the engine. This reasoning is not the case on your car if you are running Webers with Rain Hats. These are my views, take the car and enjoy it to its maximum level. Steve |
