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.

K+N is also washable + re-useable, which is also cost effective in the long run. I have found that good high quality U.S. Made cotton gauze filters work better than paper filters. K+N is probably the leader, but check out S+B filters, (the truth about air filters) .They specifically use a high grade cotton, and pleat their filters different from the leading brand. Over oiling is a problem with any reuseable air filter , S+B filters are factory oiled by programmed robots.
One of my engine builder customers uses our 3.2 high flow filter kits, for their POC customers /orange group, no complaints. Marty |
