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.

Britain Smith did a test with a stock-ish airbox (with a cool velocity stack instead of the sorkle) and K&Ns and he found the stock airbox gave a smidge more torque and the K&Ns a smidge more hp.
edit: It was with ITG foam filters...please disregard. For what it's worth, the airbox made 10 lb/ft more torque. |
