K&N or Holley powershot?

[greenasgrass]

i have always used k&n, but from what i have read it sounds like the power shot filters better and allows more air flow. what do you guys think?

[bu-bye]

Both are the same. I personaly use a K&N because every store sells them and thats just what was around when I was in the market. Holley makes a good filter as does K&N. You can't go wrong with either. You might have a harder time finding a holley though unless you order from the net.

I think I heard that the Holley filter fits better in our cars wtihout a gasket, but Im happy with my k&n.

navyblue2000 has the Holley on his ride. looked like the pleats were bigger & further apart than K&N ones. at least that's what he said.

Very true. I have a Holley on my car and love it. I can definatly tell the difference with compliments of a whisper lid. But I cant really say if it flows better than a K&N because I have never had K&N on this car. I can tell you that the pleats in the filter are much larger than those of a K&N. So you would think it would flow better right? Cant go wrong with a Holley Powershot.

I think the holley is of far higher quality, I owned one and looked at both. There is no comparison between the quality of the two.

The deeper pleats and wider pleats are one thing, but the sturdier better sealing filter is what made me shell the money.

Very true, quality is great and the price cant be beat. Its about $10 cheaper than a K&N. I got mine at thunderracing.com for $40.

I have heard really good things about the Holley filter too. On the dyno however, I don't know if there would be any difference. But if they are cheaper, then I would suggest whichever would give you a little more money for the next mod.

i doubt there's a difference in performance so setting that aside. get the holley. supposedly the oil when you clean it won't hurt your MAF like the K&N oil will and did to mine. i had to take apart my TB/MAF and clean it all out after i cleaned my K&N. stupid POS.

[pgriffith]

UH OH! I used K&N cleaning kit on my holley. Wonder if i screwd my maf. Now I got a purple holley filter.

a veteran should know better than that! lol [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I recommend the Blackwing kit oil from SLPOnline to clean the Blackwing filters. Its blue and works really well - plus the kit is probably good for 10 cleanings and oilings! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
