Question K&N Filter: Anyone want it?

I have a K&N filter I took off my car when it had about 4500 miles on it last year. It's like new. I replaced it with a stock filter which I personally prefer.

Does anyone want it? If you're a Rennlist member you can have it. I would request that the person who gets it reimburses me for shipping, probably no more than $5. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/Dsc00328.jpg" alt=" - " />

Ron, I do not need the filter but just wondering why you prefer the stock one. Sound? It is like making your Porsche breath through a pillow. Just curious. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

It filters better (keeping bad stuff from expensive parts) & contrary to marketing hype, doesn't lose any power. The pillow comparison is horse feathers.

Check the archives, this subject has been discussed many times. E.g.,

Mike Cap, my 65 has a 327/350hp motor 4 speed. It is silver with a maroon interior. Fun car to drive. Getting ready to sell though.

Hey Mike - I prefer to keep my pillow talk off line. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Rec'd the HWFM stickers. Veeery cool. Trimmed & stuck 1 on my helmet for its intimidation value. I might just put the other on the spoiler wall to distract lappers. Lunch is still waiting!!!!!

Glad you like the stickers. I was going to do a series of turles circling the helmet myself

Your comment on the spoiler gives me an idea.

That would be the perfect location for an ilustration of a turtle mooning the viewer.

After recently spending a chunk of change to replace my MAF, I'd be worried that an oil filled air filter would muck it up again.

I'll take it. I'll send you a PM with details if it's still available.
