Best fitting drop in filter?

Newb17 · 09-01-2015, 07:28 PM

I would assume they all flow nearly the same, so I'm looking for the best figment. My buddy just installed a K&N and it was a pretty snug fit; stock seemed better. I have an '09, so this is a worthwhile mod.

I've had experience with a BMC filter when I first got my car...from what I remember, the quality was great and the fitment was perfect. That reminds me I still have it and need to sell it. lol

I've used K&N and Macht Schnell. Both are tight fits. The MS is more work to get installed the first time since you change the spring locking mechanism thing.

BMC, AFE and Macht Schnell are all good. Just get the one with the best price.
