I got my AMSoil Eaau 3050 filter for my custom intake and it proved better than the K&N I've used many times before.

I'd strongly suggest the AMSoil Filter for your Ztube. Connects to 3" pipe and 5" top of the cone.

You can also use an AEM filter which uses similar technology (no oil). I would prefer both over a K&N for this reason alone. Although there is evidence that they both pass less dirt than the K&N too.

sooo not true...

if you plan on further modding your car, an aftermarket intake is a must
(i mean performance wise)

and if you're getting an intake, spend a little more and stay away from KnN drop in filter

my suggestion...apexi cone filter (is a dry system so you don't have to clean it with a special oil like most other filters)

if you want i'll sell you my used KnN drop in filter for $25

Can't speak for techi13, but I don't 'hate' them. But I think the AEM or Amsoil are the better way to go. NO OIL.
I used K&N for years on different cars, as well as TruFlow. Both use oil. The MAF sensor in the G is close to the filter element. Closer than other cars I've had.
So the I think the new fiber filters are a better way to go. They require maintenance too, but are long life and should be just as free breathing.

It's your machine, use what you want.

i've tried both and the apexi cone out performs the drop in KnN...

the cone shape filter is proven to suck more air
